Steph J asks a question and I know better than to ignore. She wants to see a double-wide for sale listing so here it is:
The custom design of this home maxamizes the Ocean, Island, and Sunset views. This home is highly upgraded, the kitchen features tile counters, pull-outs in cabinets, double oven, skylight, and wood floors. The raised hearth stone fireplace separates the formal dining room and living room which both have ocean views and wood floors. The master is a dream with a corner Jacizzi tub and separate shoer and the walk in closet with built-ins galore, and even a a solar tube in the closet. This is the ultimate in beach living at such an affordable price.

Price?
First! ::doing the first posting dance::
Where is the drinking fountain? This is bullshit.
Seriously, I am going to say 500k...
-jbjbj
Any flipper worth his salt would throw the drinking fountain on that barren porch.
Ohhhh Steph, when you shake your jeep chassis like that...
No, I'm not gonna tell you the price until I get a few guesses. Near as I can tell you actually buy your lot but there are also sure to be association fees.
T-minus One Hour to the first rear entry. I have sent Casey a year supply of a certain product. By the end of the day he'll be glad he had it.
$575,000
Would that be a stainless steel drinking fountain the flipper installs?
Ocean 'view' lot - is it in a park? It must be if there's community amenities...
Let's see..
With the blown-up California prices; ocean proximity; upgrades of great mediocrity; Oooh, I dunno..
$595,000?
My agent says that he might be arranging for a book signing or two in the sac/SF areas sometime this autumn... I may just send out an invite for dinner & drinks if we're all still getting along by then. I may even drive the Jeep down there. I've always wanted to do the coastal drive from OR to Northern Callie.
You'd better watch it with the whole drinking fountain thing; it might become the new granite and travertine in house flipping. Everyone will want one.
What a coincidence, I just ordered a granite and travertine drinking fountain for the front of my house.

With brushed nickel hardware?
Jethro, gas up the pickemup. We'uns movin to Californey! Up in them parts every house got a crapper with one of them water fountains you'uns can rinse your ass with. And they give you money just for signing your name on a piece of paper. There's some Russian feller on this here interweb what gets PAID to take naps all gawdderned day!! I'll be durned!!
I'm digging the "Jacizzi" tub and separate "shoer."
It's bigger than the two shitholes posted earlier, it's newer than the two shitholes posted earlier, and it's probably nicer than the two shitholes posted earlier. It even has a garage (carport?). On objective features alone, it ought to be worth more than the earlier homes, but then I suppose you deduct for the fact that it's a trailer, surrounded by other trailers.
The title I see up top is $615k. Is that the price, or are we still bidding?
Steph - The only episode of Property Ladder I ever saw had this 24 year old girl put travertine on every floor in a condo. EVERY single room. Buyers walked in and were shocked - who wants to jump out of bed onto cold tile?
It sold though, of course, and she made a profit. It was CA about 3 years ago.
I was so pissed she actually made a profit. She also couldn't deal with her contractors, who were screwing her every minute, and mom and dad had to come help her out.
Price: $610k w/o drinking fountain
$710k with drinking fountain
And over here you can see that the living area has been gorgeously remodeled with a Greyhound bus station motif. Yes, that's a genuine Elkay drinking fountain. Notice that it has been updated with a faux-granite basin and touchless fixtures by Kohler. The drab vinyl and asbestos flooring recreates the delightful drudgery of public transportation. Even the plastic seating decor has been pre-gummed!! And yes, that's an actual homeless man sleeping in the corner! He recently installed himself and comes at no additional charge.
Casey: I'll take it! Where do I sign?
aaack!!
Pets allowed! Everybody loves me!!!
$750k
thpptt!!

Brushed nickel? Are you sure that's tasteless enough? Well, it doesn't really matter, so long as I over pay.
-jbjbj
Yes, the title is the price. Love the mispellings. There is no garage, only a carport and at a half mile from the sand guess what that does to your car. That is the sound of wind chimes, it is the paint popping off the fenders... tink... plink... spling...
And the "solatube" in the closet? What's up with that? Gimmie a freakin' plant or a patch of astroturf. At least I didn't pick the most expensive double-wide or one of the singles that actually can see the ocean.
That really is the price?!?! I thought that was there to throw us off.
*pukes*

Recent upgrades make this irresistable to even the most discriminating trailer park trash client. Won't last long!
Sh!t, I screwed up.

Not $615k... actually $675k. My bad.
I think it's a Sweet Deal (TM).
Other than Casey, who in their right mind would pay 675K for a trailer?
Okay... $725K, but give me $50K back at closing to install a drinking fountain.
Sweeeeet!
Surrounding me is is a landlocked, rural area so there's no beachfront property. A double-wide such as the one pictured would go for as low as $30K - maybe even much less, depending on how far the local tax base has mandated that cop and ambulance and street maintenance be cut.
These bubble-town prices in far-off municiplaities have been amazing me for years. My street is littered with houses for sale, any of which would be 1+ million dollars in CA. Here, they're $70K-$150K. Still no takers, though. All the jobs have left the area, and EVERYBODY's bailing out. Even though we never really got the bubble, we're getting the crash. I perversely plan to stay, and grab a nice house when they hit $60K. I'm waiting for the Mad Max marauder gangs to show up any day now.
Aren't manufactured homes known to depreciate? Who the hell would finance a double-wide for that much? Even *if* it's got that hot, trendy vinyl paneling.
It was said:
Aren't manufactured homes known to depreciate?
Yes, in the the case of "double-wides". They lose value almost as cars do. They seem habitable at first, although they're really not safe or healthy. They're manufactured much like cars, with very toxic glues used for carpeting and so on. The "new car smell" is carcinogenic. There's a big expansion-joint type of rubber gasket running down the middle of the place, where the two halves are joined at the site. After a few short years, everything in the "house" begins to delaminate and otherwise fall apart. When involved in a fire, they burn as quickly as a conventional single-wide trailer.
