So you’ll be living on a 4 lane street, and around the corner from a 2 lane street. Isn’t that a good thing? I mean, heck, that’s more bandwidth! It’s like having DSL vs Dial Up. More is better!
And then there’s the amazing stop sign. This stop sign has this amazing ability to absorb sound from a quarter mile radius. It’s like a black hole. Screetchy brakes? Forget about it – this sign will eat it up. Rear end collisions? Sucked into the sign. The sound of your child getting hit as someone blows past the sign? Easily ignored.
But let’s face it, the real reason this house is so valuable is because… nope… not Cupertino Schools…. Santa Clara utilities! With Santa Clara utilities, you get… uh…. Santa Clara goodness.
Welcome to Westwood Oaks.

Wife wouldn’t approve of this house at any price. It’s not in a good school district.

Do Cupertino schools suddenly suck now that they are increasing class sizes? Or does this house fall in an area with the “bad” schools within the Cupertino district? Or is SV Shopper woefully uninformed?

“Wife wouldn’t approve of this house at any price. It’s not in a good school district.”
You may want to get that wife in check there, SV Shopper.
Perhaps if you explain your limited earning potential to her, she would be more understanding?

SV Shopper, maybe it’s time to call professional realtor with Coldwell Banker…
January 28th, 2010 at 8:20 pm
OOooh – a “professional!”
You mean, like, with business cards and a collared shirt and everything?
That’s impressive.

> You mean, like, with business cards and a collared shirt and everything?
I’m, like, totally describing that. It’s awesome.
January 28th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Yep – that’s, like, how you spot a professional!
I think the only thing that could add more credibility would be a framed high school diploma on the wall and a website. That’s how you know you’re dealing with the “real thing.”
January 28th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
OMG! A website is totally cool! Only real professionals have one of those!

3X median = 150K, 5X median (california math) = 250K
As the Depression deepens, maybe the median goes to 30k, hence 90K and 150k.
This has so much further to fall.
Besides the sound-sucking stop sign, there’s a really cool donut shop and Goodwill store on Hamilton, and this isn’t far either from ….. EEEBBAAYY!

> 3X median = 150K, 5X median (california math) = 250K
RBA math: 2X median = 250K
bob math: 5X median = NaN
RE math: 4X median = wait, who is paying for utilities again?
January 28th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
3x median reasoning presumes that ownership is uniformly distributed on the wage scale. It also presumes that everybody sticks to the 3x wage-to-loan ratio. It further presumes that price == loan, i.e. nobody puts any money down, and that there are no move-up buyers, no existing equity. Further presumes that as median wages decreases, the high and low wages decrease uniformly as well. SmilingCat’s Math is Depressing!

You know what’s really fucking funny about this house?
A stop sign increases noise because people are accelerating rather than coasting.
January 28th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
LOL. If there’s a Stop Sign in front of my house, the last thing I want to bring up is noise. It just goes to show what kind of dummy lives in this neighborhood.
January 28th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
It’s just that the realtard figured a stop sign mitigated some of the shittiness of being on a busy street.

Come on now real estater…you never lived in a busy neighborhood before you made your millions in real estate?

anon, based on the quote referenced in #13, I’d say he lived with mom & dad until he had enough saved to buy a house…
