For-Sale-By-Owner in the 90039

There actually aren’t that many FSBO houses in this area right now. I’m going to be optimistic and hope that’s a sign that there are fewer in-trouble owners in this zip than there were a couple months ago. There are also very few foreclosure sales listed right now, so let’s hope…In the meantime, here’s what’s for sale by those intrepid folks who don’t want an agent - not even Redfin!

• This is a cozy 2/1 with 900 square feet on a 4,879 square-foot lot. It’s been remodeled and is on a cul-de-sac. It looks like a nice, well-maintained starter home and is listed for $510,000.
• This listing is pretty scant on details, but it’s a 1/1.5 for $691,000 on Silver Lake Boulevard. It looks like it is probably a condo.
• This is actually in Echo Park - it’s a 2/1 for $390,000. It last sold in 2006 for $435,000, so it looks like the owner may be trying to get out.
• Lastly, this one lies in the triangle between the 2 and 5 freeways. It’s a cute 2/1 built in 1936 and listed for $445,000.
