Spanish Lace — Gene McDaniels
The name Spanish Lace sounds delightfully exotic and enticing, doesn’t it? I imagine the gentleman who bought today’s featured property on Spanish Lace was quite enamored with the property when he got it; however, now he is out $93,236, and he has bad credit. The collapse of housing prices has taken its toll.
For most of the summer, I was profiling small condos and other low-end properties as these where the ones showing distress. Lately, problems at the mid to high end of the market are becoming more apparent. Today’s featured property is a nice, 4-bedroom new home in Woodbury selling at 26% less than its peak sales price. The Villages of Woodbury, Quail Hill, and Northwood II will be where the mid to high end stress will show up first because all of these owners paid bubble prices and they are currently under water. The price collapse in these neighborhoods will spread to others around Irvine. A buyer shopping in the $650,000 to $700,000 price range will be able to get more for their money in these neighborhoods. This will take buyers away from the more established neighborhoods causing transaction volumes to drop off even more. When sellers in the more established neighborhoods become more motivated, they will find competition from the collapsing upstarts.

This is REO and not a short sale, so there will be a transaction somewhere near this relatively low asking price. If the property sells for asking price, and if a 6% commission is paid, the total loss on the property will be $284,994. The original owner put 10% down, so he is out $93,236. Washington Mutual is going to eat the rest.
I would like to thank Britney for providing me today’s listing. It is good to have you back…

She was standing there, so beyond compare, in Spanish lace
My heart touched the sky, captivated by her angel face
Dancing neath the moon I soon discovered the new world that
lovers always
find When I saw her there, so beyond compare, in Spanish
lace
We danced away the night, until the morning light said Time
to go
I knew wed have to part, but sadness filled my heart, I
loved her so And
now that love has flown, alone, I think of the heartaches
that I will have
to face Dreaming of that night, the stars that shone so
bright, and
Spanish lace
And now that love has flown, alone, I think of the
heartaches that I will
have to face Dreaming of that night, and stars that shone so
bright, and
Spanish lace
Dreaming of that night, and stars that shone so bright, and
Spanish lace
Dreaming of that night, and stars that shone so bright, and
Spanish lace
