Sellwood.

“I rent in Sellwood and pass this place on my daily dog walk to the Sellwood Park. It's listed at $375K, but i'm pretty sure the brochure I picked the other day had a reduced price of $360K-ish. That's not an outrageous price for this area (I mean it is, but relative to other listing prices nowadays), but I'm wondering if this is a case of two properties built on one lot. You can't tell from the pics on the listing, but I'm telling you - this is the world's priciest trailer. It lists 1544 sq ft, but that's including a 600 sq ft unfinished basement. It has an identical twin to the left, and I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence there's no front picture on the listing - it looks crammed in there.
According to Portland Maps, it was bought for 100K back in '98, 291K in 2005 (gotta be some regret there) to the current owner, who is also the realtor. I know Sellwood is a "hot" area and all, but come on! This seems like a case of an owner desperate to unload a regrettable purchase at an inflated price.”
The lot is only 2500 sq ft, so it's possible the lot was split at some point and two shotgun style houses built on the one lot. MLS
