Pocket Listings in Glassell Park – Single Family Homes For Sale Near Downtown Los Angeles

Glassell Park Pocket ListingAs prices in Downtown Los Angeles settle firmly in the high range, many prospective Downtown loft buyers are instead deciding to seek out single family homes in the brisk markets of the surrounding neighborhoods that have not yet risen to their full potential.

The popular nearby neighborhoods include Glassell Park, Echo Park, Silver Lake, Highland Park, Elysian Valley, Lincoln Heights, South L.A., Westlake, Koreatown, Pico Union and Boyle Heights.

Glassell Park House

These neighborhoods are very hot markets right now, with most properties recently selling above asking price.  It’s getting tougher to find a bargain without getting outbid by another buyer.  One solution is to find nice properties that are not listed to the public, so that a low offer can be placed without being immediately outbid by another buyer.

This pocket listing will be hitting the MLS a week from Thursday, but the L.A. Loft Blog is giving you a chance to see it first. Here are some camera phone photos that the owner shot, so you can get a basic idea, but it will be professionally photographed and then list to the public to create a higher price for the seller.  Experts agree that buyers can get an advantage and lower price when seeing and negotiating a property before it is listed on the MLS and before the general public has a chance to drive up the price with multiple offers:

FRAUD ALERT – CRAIGSLIST SCAMS CONTINUE TO STEAL IDENTITIES OF DOWNTOWN L.A. RENTERS

The San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department last week confirmed that at least one case of Craigslist rental fraud has resulted in the identity theft and credit theft from at least one victim, a Downtown rental applicant, in the ongoing rental fraud problem.

craigslist-fraud-150721

The lease scams continue to grow today. All Craigslist rental posts with prices several hundred dollars below market price are a SCAM until proven otherwise.  NEVER give a payment or personal information to anyone other than a manager, agent or owner whom you meet in person first.

HERE IS THE LATEST FRAUD THAT IS LIVE ON CRAIGSLIST TODAY:   $1500 / 2br – 1010ft2 – traditional New York style apartment for rent (315 E 8th St, Los Angeles, CA)  Traditional New York style loft in the historic Textile Lofts building. Corner unit with one neighboring wall. Lots of original windows with high ceilings. Custom built closet runs full length of hall for plenty of storage. Large bath with soaking tub and washer/dryer included. One bedroom area is separate the second bedroom would be included in the main living space (there are no walls for bedrooms). Comes with one assigned parking space under Santee Court. Also comes with one storage unit in the basement. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Textile Building is a 12-story, 69-unit Gothic Revival Landmark overlooking the Fashion District. As part of the Urban Community of Santee Village, Amenities include Rooftop Pool, Spa, Fitness Center, and Gourmet Market. Blocks to the best Restaurants, Nightlife, and Shopping in Downtown; Short Walk to the Metro and LA Live.

While $1,500 might seem expensive enough, the real value of 1,010 sq foot in this building is around $2,400 per month.  Any offer less than $2,200 is a scam to rip off the applicant’s money or identity until absolutely proven otherwise by an in-person meeting and third-party vertification.

Any time that you see a rental posting that is an extra low price, the posting is likely a scam.  Click the prohibited link on Craigslist and then report the scam to the police.
