1324 Ramona Dr Camarillo, CA 93010
Sale History 12/30/2005: $910,000
Originally listed $825,000
Currently listed $650,000
Unfortunately this is in competition with a rental also on the golf course but includes a pool:
Let's do the math.
Rental: $4000/month.
Purchase: $140,000 upfront, lost opportunity @4%; $700/mo.
Mortgage $530,000 @6%; $3200/month
Taxes plus special assessment: $800/month.
Homemoaner Total $4700/month.
Now, I know the neighborhood. You can get the rental for $3500 or less easy. While they aren't common an equivalent rental would run $2400-$2800. So, even at a 50% decline from peak these places don't yet make financial sense in the new era.

how do you mean 'lost opportunity' exactly?
$140,000 in a conservative investment, say a tax free muni can easily earn 4%. That's $700/mo you won't be getting by purchasing the house rather than renting.
What is bad about this one.. Sellers put $228,000 down at purchase.
It is currently a short sale under contract contingent on bank approval.
Worse still these people bought two at the same time on this same street.
I walk by this one most mornings on my loop around the golf course. Nice little house. Quiet, well maintained. Someone will try to pay $650k but the bank will undoubtably screw up.
Dawg,
I'm on your side on this one, but I don't follow your math.
1. Assuming your 4% is tax free earnings, you still only get $466/month for $140,000 @ 4%.
2. Mortgages are closer to 5% than 6% these days.
3. Wouldn't taxes @ 1.25% be closer to $650/month than $800/month? (I rent and don't know if this "special assessment" makes up the difference).
Anyway, even with my numbers, you'd still come out ahead renting.

I am a proud Texan, and this deserves some George Strait.
Camarillo by morning, up from Thousand Oaks.

I'll be f(deleted) at the county courthouse steps.

They repo'd my Beemer in Simi, seized my accounts in Sherman Oaks.
Lost my wife and a girlfriend somewhere in East LA.
Well I'll be looking for eight when they call the magistrate,
And I'm hoping that judge ain't blind.
Camarillo by morning, Camarillo's on my mind.

But they get to keep the golf balls they find in their living room right? What's that worth?
Seriously though, what do you guys think of playing interest rate arbitrage with a home equity line fixed at 4.65% for 30 years?
After mortgage interest deduction on the first 100k (I heard that may be the limit the IRS allows) and investing the money in CDs or some such safe vehicle it would not cost much to carry this hedge. The upside could be fantastic.
Does anyone here have a thought about future interest rates, say 2-3 years from now.
So Camarillo is loosing its Brillo?
anyone else think that the government succeeded in keeping the market from tanking below 6500?
Today's CaseShiller number should have tanked shares like SRS. instead the markets are up? WTF. It's just about impossible to play the markets when they act so irrational.
The Great Ethanol Scam
What ever happened to that place you seemed to have your eye on? The one with the koi ponds?
chicken,
410 Avocado is still in rehab. The Koi Pond is gone, the lot scraped of all landscaping, the wierd stuff stripped. the entire house was re-dry walled with new mid grade vinyl windows installed. Then... it "stopped." Progress has been glacial for the last few months.
So is Angel under the bus?
Without The Koi Pond 410 Avocado doesn't have a chance.
P.S. Thank God I only visit L.A. for funerals and weddings.
What no takers on the Home Equity arbitrage question?
Oh, well. Back to the old stand-bye.
Here is a new listing that seems like it may be a cousin of 410 Avocado. It is a short sale now so it seems to have stalled as well. I think it is a pretty good deal. I drove by today and the location is pretty nice.
1800 Via Montecito
I thought of you a few weeks ago Rob when I saw this properties price reduction.
11771 Foothill RdI believe they already took an offer below the newly reduced asking price. I looked at this property about 18 months ago back when they still wanted about 2.2 million for it. It is an absolutely awesome location at the entrance to Aliso Canyon. Insane views and a bunch of very profitable young healthy avocado trees.
For myself I like to peruse the farms in Virginia dreaming of returning to my childhood home.
This one looks very nice (It is the one with the 4 pictures at the top of the page).
Akira, It think Koi is so 2006. I am looking ahead and really want a salt water Octopi pond.
NO Pets or Smoking please.
WELL!!! I guess I'll just have to take my dog & my stogies somewhere else!

Great job.
