Someone flipped the smurf house! :D

Someone posted it on 11/09/2019 for $79,000. It only has 520 square feet and needs many repairs.
They sold it for $65,000 on 06/05/2020, which I felt was twice what it was worth.
Someone posted it on 7/12/2021 for $215,000!

Here is the new listing: $215,000 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and 520 square feet
1221 E Huning, Show Low, AZ 85901


I know that I shared pictures before, but I cannot find anything. Google cache just shows the new listing for most real estate sites, but I was able to find what I wanted:











I noted:

It looks like every window and door frame has cracks above and below the corner. It looks like someone replaced pieces of drywall in the kitchen with OSB. One door is missing a frame and it looks like they ripped out a window [or at least the inside trim], it ripped off the paint, and the new trim is smaller than the old stuff, so all of that needs to be patched. The baseboard in that room is missing and the blinds are broken. The floor is missing at least one linoleum tile, but I expected the entire floor to need to be replaced anyway. The shower enclosure does not look right to me. Clearly it needs to be re-grouted, but it looks like it came in pieces that fit together poorly. Also, it appears someone removed the window trim. That looks like Great Stuff with paint over it.

I shared these pictures that I took:


It used to have an okay lawn! They killed it and put in a pine seedling?!

Someone pointed out that there were foundation issues. I apologize, I forget who, but I zoomed in on the picture in question, and sure enough there was a 1" gap, and that explained much of the interior damage.

It appears they fixed the foundation, painted the house inside and out, and put in a 6' wooden fence. I had wondered how someone could fence it and they ran the fence from the corner of the house. There isn't a side yard on the side near the neighbor.

They removed the windows, apparently replaced the boards with dry rot, and replaced the flooring.

How much does that cost for 520 square feet?!

They rearranged the kitchen:



Huh. No window coverings, but that is less of an issue with a 6' fence. You don't always want sunlight, though!

Anyway, They removed the sink and cabinet under the window, and replaced the stove with an apartment-style washer and dryer. I think they replaced the small upper cabinet on the other side, put in a new lower cabinet with a small sink and butcher-block countertop.

The doors are new, too.

They moved the water heater from a lean-to on the outside to next to the laundry. I don't see a cooking stove, but I see a new heating stove!

They did a nice job in the bathroom!



They may have kept the original tub, although they definitely would have cleaned it up. They replaced the ugly and ill-fitting fiberglass enclosure with nice tile. They moved the sink across the room again and put in an 18" cabinet.

They put in new gravel off of the street and next to the house, as well as put in some plants.

It still has the old chain-link fence adjacent to the UPS store or whatever is next door, but there is a long wooden fence on the other side.

They are asking $403 per square foot!

If I had been proactive and got a 203(k) loan I would look into this! $160,000 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1,386 square foot 1661 N 22nd Dr, Show Low, AZ 85901

This house has been for sale for 6 days and I didn't have any idea!

$245,000 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom 1,286 square feet 472 N 6th Ave, Show Low, AZ 85901
This has been for sale for the same price for 24 days. I am sure they have a buyer already!

$245,000 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,686 square feet 509 N 6th Ave, Show Low, AZ 85901
Huh. They never posted more pictures. There are only 8!

You may have noticed that that house allegedly has 400 square feet more than the other. There may be a 20x20 addition, but Google Maps doesn't show anything, although who knows how old that is?

This is the last house to sell on this street, with a similar floorplan. It sold on 3/15/2021: 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,272 square feet 562 N 6th Ave, Show Low, AZ 85901

I had thought that was a fair price, but maybe they finally stopped rising in my area, or actually started calming the heck down?

This sold on 09/30/2020 for $227,500: 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1,272 square feet 688 N 6th Ave, Show Low, AZ 85901
