I have to wonder if a person makes an actual inquiry if there’s more to it. I know in most places it’s the law that you have to divulge certain types of past incidents to prospective buyers. Considering meth labs are highly toxic, and require special detailed methods to make them safe, I think they would make the list. Being in a known earthquake or flood zone do, as well as whether a place is believed to be haunted in some areas! If there really isn’t any more to it, then I think they’re dooming that place not to sell, at least through their agency. Thanks for checking it out for us. :)

The property history is just a list of when it was sold and for what price. The only thing interesting was that it was listed in 2006, didn’t sell, and was delisted in 2007. Also, the three previous sales were for more than they’re asking now.

“Please note: This property has history which is not being shown. The local MLS requires that we register you before displaying this information. Why? [that last word is a link]

Registering does not require you to work with us and we promise not to spam you, ever.”

If ya really want to know, you could always register. I’m gonna put my money on it having been a meth lab. Supposedly they can be “cleaned up” but I sure wouldn’t want to live in one.

Either a meth lab or just because it’s in Modesto. The weirdest things seem to happen in Modesto.
