Cross your fingers...

4 bed, 3 bath currently in multiple offers and we actually made the cut this time.

It is the ugliest and most charmless house on the block and the yard is smaller than we are used to, but the schools are excellent up to high school. The park, library and school are all within walking distance. The commutes are acceptable.

There are enough bedrooms, even a guest room if we convert the ridiculous double-deep his & hers walk-in closets back to a bedroom.

Alas, it is not to be. the buyer cleared all contingencies last monday and the house will close escrow in less than 15 days.

On to the next bargain!

Pointing and laughing

For the people who have screamed out about "catching a falling knife", I hear ya, really I do. But the uncertainty of living in a rental or buying at a (what we consider a reasonable price) greatly reduced (think early 2004) price in a superior school district at 6.5% interest on our loan really influenced our decision. We will be in a neighborhood that we love (even at night) with parks, superior schools and a grocery store within walking distance. The backyard has room for the swingset of doom. The guest room is sufficiently removed from the rest of the house so my mother in law doesn't have to listen to my children at odd hours of the day and night.

Is that the Expo line in your backyard?

Hello 10631 BRADBURY RD , LOS ANGELES 90064 Your newly reduced price of $1,599,000 is truly impressive considering that your lot size is the minimal Cheviot Hills/Rancho Park 6,600 sq ft. Your close cousin on Dunleer Place (with a bigger lot) is now listed at $995,000 and still not moving, so perhaps the value is a touch inflated. Really, how much is it worth to you to have commuter train hurling through your back yard on its way to Santa Monica and back?

Reverse Creationism- thanks LA Land

Someone wanted to know what kind of buyers pay $1 million for a lousy post -war box on a postage stamp... well that would be us. While we both understand that we could live in Olathe , Kansas or somewhere off of U .S. 1 for less than a quarter of what we pay here, our jobs, families and friends are located in Los Angeles and here is where we are staying until our jobs move elsewhere. We both purchased homes we loved in our single years and now that we are married with kids, those homes in lousy school districts and "transitional" neighborhoods with no parking and endless parties are not exactly the place for us.So my house is currently in escrow for what feels like the 170 th day for $50,000 less than asking price and the ten of us -- my husband,three children, one exchange student and four cats -- are crammed into one of those 3 bedroom 1 bath post-war boxes in Culver City that everyone seems to love.We are seeking a home within a 30 minute commute of Santa Monica ...
