Gotta love the sliding gate. If I bought this house, I’d add some sandbags and call it the Green Zone.

Or better yet! Charge others to park there! Woot! A parking lot! Passive cash flow baby!

That’s right…this house has soooooooooooooooo many upgrades that they couldn’t even enter the house to take any photos of them.

For now, you’ll have to enjoy the upgraded plot of dirt in the front yard.

A 1955 sh*tbox sold on 11/14/2006 for $700,000, remodeled and for rent for $3,295.  For the same asking rent, you can rent a brand new 1,900 sq ft home at Rivermark. (not that it’s anywhere reasonable).  But this flipper is so much in illusion.

I know where that price came from: $3295 is about monthly PITI on a $700,000 house with 20% down.

I wonder if this will work out… might rent actually cover a mortgage? Curious!

Silicon Valley Moms Blog: One year ago….
Exactly 365 days ago, Pamela and I talked about starting a collaborative blog. We were both moms living in Silicon Valley and thought that life here presented a unique set of challenges: price of housing, over educated parents, abundance of wealth, trying to keep up with your neighbors, cost of living,… the list is endless.

Congrats on the one year! Please celebrate by buying 124 houses to keep property prices up, and the Bay Area special!

Close to Freeway is right! This is back to back to back with 680! Again, another house that pretends 680 doesn’t exist.

BTW, I like the “price reduction”. Wouldn’t it have been awesome to sell at the original price? Now that would’ve been a Silicon Valley price!

Am I the only one who finds it amusing that this house is actually closer to 680? Why not just say that instead of 280?

Also, I wonder why there aren’t any interior pictures. It might be fun to buy this and use it as a doll house. I bet people in Dallas have doll houses this large!

OMG! I found the perfect, reasonably priced home! Finally! After all these years! Check it out!

Yeah… it’s $989,000 – but check it out! 2,200 sqft 3br/2.5ba on a 5663 sqft lot! Looks to be in great shape as well. Nice stone driveway to boot!

A little pricey, but it’s pretty darn big and looks great. I think this is reasonable.

Oh wait… something’s happening… something’s HAPPENING!

Oh no! OH NO! This house is actually in Greenwich, CT!

Aw nuts. Greenwich, that place isn’t special at all. Sure it’s the home of $120 billion worth of hedge funds, Regis Philbin, Diana Ross, Tommy Hilfiger, and Kathie Lee Gifford… but what about Pho and Burritos? And good weather? Smart people? And El Camino Real?

Clearly not a special place. Gah. So close. Quick let me redeem myself by finding some equivalent in the Bay Area!
