makes ya wanna say hummmm.......

It didn't/hasn't sold as of yet......hopefully people take the time to research before they sell and buy....make yourself money....not someone else

There could be a misprint in there somewhere. No way a "much improved" house in TV sold for $30,000. I know that's the historic district, but the developers are paying people WAY more than that for disastrous homes that they're going to demolish.
Another explanation is that a divorcing couple is splitting equity (or other various explanations).

It might been foreclosure?

They sure did a great job on fixing it up. It looks brand new and is very open and has great finishes.

I wish the villages would put Sq foot of lot in listing. I find it extremely annoying.

Do a little work and you can find it.

Of course you can find it, but I wonder the reason for their decision not to put this simple critical information on a listing, seems most if not all multiple listings in the country include it.

Of course they are smarter than me, they have figured out something, maybe they get more calls if they don't include it.

Still, annoying nonetheless.

Especially annoying when they say "oversized lot."

The son probably may have it from the estate for the balance of the mortgage.

It does. It also has new wallboard walls as opposed to the paneling that most of the older manufactured homes have.

I'm sure that the $30,000 price had to be some kind of family transfer. Maybe the son bought out a siblings share.

But if you look the home was refurbished before they sold it for $30k.....not after....

I don't see where it was a forclosure......
