Black Friday DEALS continue, and today we look into the always-on-the-go cutting-edge City of Campbell.  Unfortunately,searching for inexpensive houses in “Campbell” doesn’t necessarily give you inexpensive houses in Campbell. You have to enter the actual zip code, or you’ll end up with listings in San Jose, and not even San Jose next to Campbell. 

Here at Burbed, when we bring you a DEAL, it’s a DEAL in the place we say it’s in.  It might be a crapbox, but it’s a crapbox in the right location, location, location!

Spacious and bright 2 bedroom and 1 bath, single story home in an excellent Campbell location. Large Lot zoned for multi residential 2 or 3 units, check with city for use. Additional area at the back of the house (Permit unknown). Great location, easy access to all major freeways, close to schools, parks and shoppings. Must See Now!

The value is definitely in the land for this 9100 sf lot, or maybe in the shoppings, or in that mysterious permit unknown additional area at the back of the house.  Any idea just what it is at the back of the house?  My money’s on meth lab.  Check with city for use.

But when you buy a property, you don’t just buy the house and any mysterious permit-free structures in the back.  You’re also buying into a community, so let’s take in the bigger picture.

The possibilities are endless what you could do with this place.  Take a look at all the land-use options in the neighborhood!

Condos, triplex, McMansions, Montessori school?  How about all four?  We weren’t kidding about the value being in the land, because it sure isn’t in the house.  Unless this home photography wins some kind of high-falutin’ artsy-fartsy award.

I tell you, you can’t make up stuff like an agent putting this snap on their real estate website.  This is a photo that says, “Of course this is a DEAL, if it weren’t, don’t you think I’d check if the picture were in focus, properly exposed and actually showed the room in question?” 

And speaking of DEAL, look at all the instant equity you’ll get if you buy NOW:

Not too many properties do as good a job as this one in showing the history of the last real estate bubble.  Looks like the 2007 sellers nailed it perfectly.  Think you can time the market just as well?  Does it matter?  This is a DEAL!  Operators are standing by, buy, bye!
