Ontario buyers keep saving the one house that still needs work. 84 saves and counting.

By Jonathan Chi
Real estate, Ontario, CA

This Ontario home has never changed owners since it was built, and it still looks it. Buyers have saved it 84 times on Zillow, well past the 40 saves this desk uses as its bar for attention. That is 7.2 times the saves of a typical finalist this week. Out of 1,459 homes scored in Ontario this week, our buyer alerts flagged this one first. A home with original paint and flooring is outpulling nearly every updated listing in town.

A fixer in Ontario is pulling more attention than the polished homes around it.

This is the first time this Creekside home has changed hands since it was built, with a downstairs bedroom and bathroom, vaulted ceilings in the formal living and dining rooms, a fireplace, and a kitchen that opens to the family room. The primary suite upstairs has high ceilings and a walk in closet. It still has its original paint, flooring, and landscaping, and the listing is upfront that it needs updating. The backyard is a private patio and courtyard space closed in by block wall fencing. Residents get three community pools, a recreation center, tennis courts, and nearby trails.

From the listing: “First time on the market!”
