Here’s a house I found for sale on craigslist.  The ad says “desperate”.  But the price says “I still want to make a nice profit”.

30818 Overfall Dr in Westlake Village

$699,000

Last sold: 4/16/2004 for $616,000

So, the goal  here is to make an $83,000 profit in 3+ years to avoid foreclosure, and do it in a declining/stale market?  Good luck.  We’ll check back later and see if it sells and for how much.
