The other contest was the La Jolla Shores bidding war that garnered 18 offers!
http://bubbleinfo.s020.wptstaging.space/2012/01/11/bidding-war-contest/
They had the goofy ‘no offers for 0-7 days’, and then the ‘owner-occ offers only for 8-14th day’ policy, but the bank let it run past the 15th day so they could consider all offers.
It listed for $749,000 on Jan. 3rd, and went pending on Jan. 25th.
Today it closed for $879,000 cash!
All my luck – we have two winners again!
$878,000 – Kryx
$880,000 – Myriad
Both will receive dinner for two at the Marine Room down the street – Congratulations!
See the other guesses in the comment section – and thanks for participating!
It sold for $879,000, which is 17% over list price!

congrats you two!
Thanks for running the contest Jim. Lucky guess on price as my original guess was going to be $899k, but that bracket was pretty crowded already.
Not surprised it was all cash – which just confirms the market is good if the property is priced right.
I was close! Darn.
Congrats to the two winners!
Congrats to the winners! Did you notice how close I was JtR? My name was the next one on the list!
For the record if I had won, I would have loved to fly to San Diego to have dinner with YOU! *Sigh* I googled “Marine Room La Jolla”and it’s right on the beach *Drool*…
Booking a window table at the Marine Room’s “High Tide Dinner” when the tides get 7.0+ is an great experience.
partly underwater and waves crashing on the windows during dinner is worth the price.
