Get yer bidding war on!

Another week, another tale of a furious bidding war in OC. We at South OC Tracker are officially getting behind this Trabuco Canyon property as the next great candidate to start a bidding war. What makes it so obvious you might ask? How about the asking price of $108/sq ft.

28873 Woodspring Circle, 92679

Beds: 3
Baths: 3
Sq. Ft.: 4,028
$/Sq. Ft.: $108
Lot Size: 1,645 Sq. Ft.
Property Type:Single Family Residence
Style:Traditional
Stories:2
View:Hills, Has View
Year Built: 1987
Community: Trabuco Canyon
County: Orange
MLS#: P698882
Source: SoCalMLS
Status: Active
On Redfin: 1 day
From description: Beautifully maintianed home with high ceilings and open floor plan. Private backyard features spa, grassy area, and planters full of flowers. Master suite opens into large master bathroom. Home is complete with down stairs bedroom, two additional bedrooms upstairs and a loft. Walking distance to Blue Ribbon Schools. Home Owner Association is complete with olympic size pool, tot pool, tennis courts and club house. Excellent move-in condition.

From what we've seen, this looks like your equity seller meets non-short sale meets turnkey property. Could it use some updating - for example, the kitchen? Sure. But the combination we just mentioned, plus the asking price seems ripe to equal multiple bids.

Redfin says the previous sales price was $200,000 in 1991 - probably a high before the down market of the mid 1990s. We'll see what this one eventually fetches. Hint: probably a good deal higher than $435,000 unless there's some big problem we don't see. Or a typo.

Something is wrong with this listing. It shows a 4028 sqft 3br building on a 1645 sqft lot. Perhaps the number of floors is listed incorrectly - two aint enough.
My guess is this is a 2014 sqft duplex and his half of the land is 1643 sqft. I reserve judgement on the price.

Listing is wrong. It is an attached home not a 4000 ft house. probably about 1620 Sq. Ft.
