Finally someone who understands Bay Area real estate
Bay Area real estate…It’s a privilege not a right.
Well of course it’s a privilege and not a right. A right would mean that anyone could buy here - and if that were to happen, it would quickly become cheap and undesirable. Would you really want that? Would you want the Bay Area to be affordable like Northern New Jersey in the suburbs of Manhattan? Of course not!
Everyone needs something to strive for, and the Bay Area is no different.
Personally, my favorite part about this ad is that if I bought this house with its tile countertops, I could finally make fantastic meals. I knew there was something missing from my diet! It’s Vitamin G (grout)!

They took it off of Craigslist. Guess the good deals always get snatched up quickly
Speaking of good deals, what about this one? Under $400K for a house that’s in the good area of Redwood City. And the lot isn’t dinky.

Looks cute as a button in the Los Gatos Mountains. Only thing is - that while the mailing address says Los Gatos, it’s not really part of the town of Los Gatos (not incorporated, cannot vote in the town, etc.). It’s actually county jurisdiction. The mountain communities are lovely, but they are not “in Los Gatos” and the real estate market there is quite different from the homes “in town”.
The Craigslist ads only run for 7 days and then disappear unless you re-enter them. I hope for the seller’s sake, though, it’s off because the home did sell.

Where’s the sq footage? That thing looks like a playhouse someone’s dad built in the back yard.I’m guessing 600 sq feet?
Secondly- “Stop renting your home!” is kind of incorrect isn’t it? Wouldn’t that indicate that you are renting your( possessive) home?

The reason you can’t make fantastic meals in your kitchen is that you aren’t dancing around on the hardwood floors. So maybe you need Vitamin H too.

You wish. The key is vitamin RBA.

You obviously don’t make $150,556 annual salary and obviously can’t live in town but we need service and low-level professional workers, so we’ll “let” you live in the boondocks of Los Gatos and commute in to work at our ___________.” (fill in the blank - school,store,office)

The Los Gatos place that isn’t in Los Gatos is really cute. I love what they’ve done with their attitude.
Getting a little off the subject:
Speaking of good deals, what about this one? Under $400K for a house that’s in the good area of Redwood City. And the lot isn’t dinky.
If all you want is a crash pad, then it is probably okay. That area is not severely troubled, but it has a lot of young and low wage people and there are lots of apartments around. There is all the boredom of a bedroom community, but not necessarily peace and quiet at night. West of El Camino on both sides of Woodside the community is like this: not too bad, but not all that great either. Gang activity has been strong there because there are lots of young working families, but not the wealth of other areas or the level of community that exists in some of the poorest areas.
Back in the mid-1990s places like that would sell for under $250k, so even with inflation over time it should still be under $300k. The $400k range is still a rip off, but better than recent prices and only a little over $100k off. Spend some time drinking in that area before buying there because it may be more young and active than you prefer. You might want to talk to some local cops about it also. Good luck!

Let me put that a little less kindly: the Jefferson/Hudson/Woodside area is motorcycle and hot-rod hell. If you love old American iron, air that always smells like a barbeque, and Bud Light, you’ll fit right in.

Really? I love BBQ, hot rods, and motorbikes. Sounds like my kind of people!
July 21st, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Well, that one technically isn’t in that area, since it’s south of Hudson

There’s a guy on Jefferson somewhere around Valota who has a half-dozen hot rods, you can usually see at least one parked on the street. I had an apartment on Jefferson for a few months and it was very hard to relax, let alone sleep, because of all the road noise.

One of my neighbors at a former place was a career cable installer whose entire life was his motorcycle. Every now and then his girlfriend would come out and scream at him to do something other than play with his motorcycle (he was her Project Guy, and the project wasn’t going very well.) He’d ignore her, but she clearly got to him because afterwards he’d rev his motorcycle up to top speed and blast it for five minutes straight, just sitting there on the kickstand.

heh heh… you all would’ve hated me then. I used to have this ancient 70’s Japanese bike that had a single piston and a kick starter. The thing had a single, un-muffled pipe for the “exhaust”. That was back when I had to leave for work at 5:00 AM and boy did the neighbors love to hear me start that thing. I tried to be nice about it and push it down the block a ways.

Hey, Brian…talk about damning with faint praise. “It isn’t dinky!”
The Lost Cats house has everything going for it but price, size, amenities, and location.
Also a bus stop 250 feet–six bus lengths–from the door isn’t what I’d call a selling point.

Well, 1134 Hudson is pending now. All it took was 11 days.
