I originally profiled this home way back in July, when it first came on the market (“Too Good To Be True“). The question I posed — “4,000 FSF by Cedar Lake for $380k? Not So Fast” — said it all. In fact, I estimated that the actual square footage was closer to *2,100 FSF.
So what happened?
Nothing — or shall I say, “no deal.”
After one, $10,000 price reduction in September, the listing expired in January.
Although a tough housing market certainly didn’t help, exaggerating the square feet so much likely sealed its fate.
