Second was Southfork, but that's a different story.The downtown traffic patterns had changed, but you could still drive west down the Houston St viaduct, and in the same lane as the presidential convertible.

So it's pretty much like a 7 year old house.Located in a little sub-division area; very quiet and little traffic.

Thanks for your input Bill GulleyNot sure if I am just too impatient when I want to figure out comps or not.

Looking at an single story 8-plex building and the numbers work, but there are a few items that bothered me.All eight units (1/1) are currently occupied, tenants are either on month to month leases or no lease at all, but they all pay on time (according to seller).It's an approved short sale, owner is the broker, and is saying tenants are getting a bit impatient with frequent visits from buyers, he wants the buyers to waive the inspection contingency, which I have no problem doing if I can see ALL the units at my own pace and make sure I know what I am up against repair wise.There are a series of buildings in a row and the tenants all seem to know each other.When I went to see the building, the owner/broker told me someone would meet me there, a Maria.

I made some deposits and took off for a family afternoon and the traffic was horrible, I cut through residential areas and stayed off the main streets.

I don't expect this anecdote to resonate with anyone who hasn't dealt with NoVA traffic or seen the Eastern panhandle of WV.

Not a lot of foot traffic day or night. ~$75K property value.All of this may mean nothing in your market, but hopefully some of this is useful.

You go to court and it's like traffic court...fast...lots of people.

I've gotten one college student the entire time I've been here so I'm not getting the university traffic like the places right on Locust.

Traffic arteries, population shifts, concentrations of shopping areas, public transportation, employment centers are all considerations in the analysis of comps, market trends begin over an entire city or county level and drills down to a neighborhood.
