"55 miles north of the Pacific Ocean ?"
That would be like Santiago, Baja.
OK what am I missing here - YOU say contract at $190,000 land value ? The AVM indicated a range of $195,000 to $230,000. Anytime a AVM is used on a loan PIW the property had to have been in Fannies data base from a previous appraisal that had been done. In this case the subject had never been updated and would have never pased with two kitchens anyway BUT for the sake of argument the buyer obviously looked at the property and there never would have been a waiver given, also lenders use the lowest number on the AVM not the highest, so at best it would have been a $195,000 PIW and with 10% down a $175,000 loan- No loss the guy picked up the house for $5K if the land was worth $190K.Just inspected one where the AVM indicated a confidence score of 87% and indicated value of $195,000-$230,00.
upscale neighborhood 3/2 - GLA 1650. Contract was for $190,000 which is the value of the land. Conventional loan - built in 1950, not one update, prior interior ceiling damage never repaired- literally gaping ceiling holes, water stains and and a smell that a pallet load of damp rid Would never remedy. Kitchen cabinets held on with duck tape, SF with an additional, second illegal kitchen. Just terrible condition whereby almost all components exceeded remaining economic life.
Had an Appraiser not been sent and a PIW granted on this property- someone would have taken a scalping.
