Good deal on Balboa peninsula for $ 854'300


Where: 1111 West BALBOA Blvd, Balboa peninsula, second row to the beach
What: remodeled 2-bedroom front house and a back 1-bedroom rental, built 1938
Sold for: 854'300, short sale, probably all cash
When: Nov 6 2009
Orig. listing price: 1'285'000
Last sale: January 8 2000 for 400'000

Comment: The "real" value for this property with a pretty old house structure is in the land. But regarding the valuable 1 bedroom rental in the back, this house is going to pretty much pay for itself if the owners work well on promoting the rental. Dang, how could I miss this one...

Property Shark estimate 2009: 511'587
