^But they're still . . . can you even call that a rehab, really? They're still rebuilding it?
This project is on the LCRA agenda. Says the owned plans to spend $650,000 on this project and sell the house for $570,000. A loss of $80,000. That just doesn't make sense. 10 year tax abatement worth 95% recommended by the LCRA.quincunx wrote: ↑Apr 03, 2021$450k building permit application submitted to rehab 5256 Vernon5256 Vernon.jpg

They’re probably getting historic tax credits, etc too.chriss752 wrote:This project is on the LCRA agenda. Says the owned plans to spend $650,000 on this project and sell the house for $570,000.

Still, is there a market for $570k homes in Academy? Hard to imagine.SeattleNative wrote:They’re probably getting historic tax credits, etc too.chriss752 wrote:This project is on the LCRA agenda.

It takes time but markets change dramatically; especially if they are undervalued to begin with.
I appreciate this developer pushing the market up towards where it probably belongs (displacement concerns notwithstanding)
They must be bullish on the neighborhood if they're willing to take an $80,000 loss right off the bat. They have to be self financing because a bank wouldn't lend to someone who's plan calls for losing money rather than breaking even or making a profit.SeattleNative wrote: ↑Apr 24, 2021They’re probably getting historic tax credits, etc too.chriss752 wrote: This project is on the LCRA agenda.

Or maybe they're expecting a bidding war, but I doubt it. This will probably be one of the most, if not the most expensive, home sold on the Northside in years.

Its always just been a matter of time. The existing housing stock is still beautiful. The grid is intact. Close proximity to 3 of the region's major employment districts. Close proximity to entertainment districts. Its a no brainer. In 20 years everyone who didn't invest in the area bound by Skinker, Page, Delmar, and Grand will be kicking themselves.
Actually 6029 Clemens sold for a little north of $563K in late 2018. These numbers ($350K-$550) will eventually become more of the norm as the area continues to be rehabbed. When one considers the square footage and building costs of some of the homes, a new normal will eventually be set. Wasn't but a few years ago when no one could imagine $500K-$600K in the Grove.
