11808 Seven Locks Road - Regency Estates - $550,000

This is a small rambler on a VERY busy road.

With 3 small bedrooms and 2 full baths, this home is straight out of 1963. The home is functional, but will need a lot of TLC to bring it up to speed. The kitchen and baths are in need of renovation, and the basement too needs work.

The lot is about a quarter acre. The home sits up on a knoll, and gently slopes off in the back. The yard is fenced, and will need work to make it look decent.

This home may have potential for someone with a home business. The traffic on Seven Locks would be attractive for an accountant or insurance agent that may be able to pick up some business.

This is also a short sale. The bank that holds the mortgage will have to approve any contract written. The owner purchased this home in 2005 at the height of the market. They paid $635,000. I cannot imagine this home was ever worth that much.

This home is worth about $475,000. It may take the bank a while to understand that they are going to lose their shirt. The sooner they make a deal, the better it will be for them. The home is currently vacant, and still has boxes and personal possessions on the lower level. The sooner a deal is made, the better for all parties involved.

  1. what is the potential for expanding this house? if someone can pick it up for the lower price, doesn't expansion make this a find?
