Posted by tomjohn29, Fri Sep-14-18 09:48 AM
My mom just sent me this listing near her house
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/100-Point-Breeze-Pl-Pittsburgh-PA-15208/11286334_zpid/
sold for 250k
took a year to renovate
now trying to sale for almost 700k
what in the blue fuck?

13286289, This has to be a joke.
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Sep-14-18 09:52 AM
How do you list a house for 700K when it has a Zillow estimate of 375K?
What bank will sign off on that loan?
|
13286413, Zillow isn't a reliable reference for value
Posted by Cocobrotha2, Fri Sep-14-18 01:24 PM
I've seen it over and under estimate the value of properties by WIDE margins.
The only good reference is recent comparable sales.

13286292, man not for nothin but that's a ugly ass house though

No doubt. Areas like Lawrenceville have seen major increases.

|
13286346, Didn’t you just drive through the mountains to visit Pittsburgh?
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Sep-14-18 11:31 AM
Gas and weed is extremely high in Pittsburgh
When my dad and uncle came to VA for my graduation they damn near bought a pound to take back to Pittsburgh.
|
13286414, “The Pot” too?!?
Posted by MEAT, Fri Sep-14-18 01:26 PM
I romanticize the Midwest for its mountains and green. But then I’ve seen bare tree pics in the winter and it looks nightmarish.

13286342, My God, my uncle could build that exact same house in his sleep
Posted by adg87, Fri Sep-14-18 11:27 AM
Built his and my parents house looking like a damn castle. Parents (Suffolk, VA) just sold their house for $477,000
|
13286353, How much did it cost to build them?
Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Sep-14-18 11:43 AM
Someone floated the idea of building.
I wonder if it’s cheaper.
|
13288546, Just seeing this legs.
Posted by adg87, Thu Sep-27-18 08:47 AM
At the time (early 90's) I think my parents outlay was about $175K. They got all the bells and whistles too.
|
13286423, i have a my plan...just find land
Posted by tomjohn29, Fri Sep-14-18 01:36 PM

13286420, Zillow says Pitt's median home price is $145k. Why is that one so high?
Posted by flipnile, Fri Sep-14-18 01:34 PM
https://www.zillow.com/pittsburgh-pa/home-values/
Is it the neighborhood? Looks like they are
Some median home values for comparison:
DC: $570k
LA: $550k
Cleveland: $53k (lol) https://www.zillow.com/cleveland-oh/home-values/
Philly is at $150k, and $750k here will get you something dope.

My old neighborhood (parents still own their home there), houses that sold for 90 to 180K 4 years ago now selling for 350 to 500K.
Its crazy.

Posted by legsdiamond, Fri Sep-28-18 10:55 AM
Really weighing the idea of buying our dream home vs buying a struggle house and fixing it up.
