Former NFL Raiders running back, Justin Fargas, sold a Chatsworth home at a loss. Fargas is a native of the SFV who was born in Encino and attended Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks before attending USC. He was drafted by the Raiders in 2003 and played there until 2010 where he was dropped. The Denver Broncos briefly picked him up in 2010 but later released him before the start of the season. His dad is Antonio Fargas who is famous for playing "Huggy Bear" on Starsky and Hutch as well as other roles in several films and TV shows.
The 4 Bed/2.5 Bath on 2,255 sqft on a total lot size of 7,515 sqft built in 1957 listing states:
This Beautiful Landscaped corner lot opens up to. 4 Bedrooms 2 1/2 baths. 3 bedrooms down including the Master with it's own separate dual tub and shower. . The upstairs bedroom has it's own bathroom, very spacious. Sliding glass doors lead out to a spectacular entertainers backyard with a pool and spa. Move in condition, just bring your furniture.
Fargas purchased this home on March 11, 2004 for $570,000 and sold for $500,000 on September 28, 2012. This transaction represents a loss of $70,000 not factoring in carrying costs, renovation costs (if any), commissions, and taxes.
Its not known why Justin Fargas sold his Chatsworth home but its possible that he is trying to downsize after his retirement from the NFL considering that he recently purchased a Sherman Oaks home on July 17, 2008 for $2,295,000.
