Looking at houses, data, market tracking... it's all interesting and fun (in addition to serious business), but how knowledgeable are you, really?
Let's find out.
"Bet the House" is MB Confidential's new real estate contest designed for everyone to test their knowledge of the Manhattan Beach real estate market.
Each week, we will feature a new listing in a blog post. You'll be able to review the home yourself, look at the pictures, take into consideration the location and all other factors, then make your best educated guesses of:
1. How many Days on Market will the listing rack up while listed for sale?
2. How many (if any) price cuts will be made before the home is sold (or goes off market)?
3. What will the home actually close for (sale price), if it sells?
Individual entries will be scored based on how close each answer was to the final data for the listing.
We'll announce a prize each week to be offered to the eventual winner, and another prize for participation. (Despite the name, "Bet the House" neither requires, nor allows, actual wagering.)
The winner of this week's contest will get a $50 gift card to a locally based family of restaurants. One person who enters within the week-long period that the contest is open will be randomly selected for a $20 gift card to the same restaurants. This way, there's some instant gratification while we wait for this week's home to go through its marketing process.
The full rules and scoring system can be found here.
One of those rules is: We won't be publishing any data about the entries, except when a sale has closed or the listing has gone off market, and we are declaring a winner. Contest entries will be private, and the sweep of opinions expressed by contest participants won't be published while a home is on the market.
This week's featured home is presented below.
Good luck to you all!
