I am always amazed at the asking prices in Turtle Ridge. There are REOs and defaults everywhere and prices rolling back under $1,000,000 on high end properties, and yet there are owners like today's who think their properties have appreciated 40% since they bought at the peak in 2006. WTF?
Asking Price: $2,688,000

In a competitive society like ours, there are winners and losers. The people who bought before the bubble, did not HELOC their home, and are selling in time to cash in that bubble equity are the winners. Let's celebrate them today.
