Thanks to Burbed reader Herve for this find!

Have you ever dreamed about owning the Winchester Mystery House? Well, now’s your chance to buy the Winchester Mystery Condo!

Just look at those photos! How your friends will ooh and ahh as you recount to them the story of how a machine from the future came back to look for Sarah Winchester, and as a result built this condo in 1992. Or… uh… something like that.

Just think of all the money you’ll make from renting this house to Ghost Hunters on Syfy! See how the windows are alarmed? It’s alarmed for ghosts!

And those high-definition tvs that are remaining? Haunted.

Personally, I think kudos are deserved for the person who remodeled a 17 year old condo, considering how many Bay Area houses haven’t been touched since they were built.

Great buy. If you’re brave enough.

Two homes in one lot 1/1 each exellent area.

I’m mystified as to why this house hasn’t sold yet! Two for the price of one in an exellent area! I mean, heck, it’s right near Santana Row and Valley Fair. And look at that awesome garage. You can feel safer at night, knowing that you’re sleeping right next to your trophy car – or… possibly… sleeping with your trophy car!

Sure the pictures don’t really explain how there’s two houses, but that’s ok – we’re a faith based real estate web site. Just think of the opportunities!  You can rent one of the houses out for shoppers who are making the pilgrimage at Santana Row. Cha ching! Exellent area indeed!

What this listing really needs to say is: won’t last long.

Short Sale. Seller still waiting for lenders approval. Property needs TLC ( Repair)

Privacy is becoming an increasingly precious commodity these days. Fortunately, the owner has thought ahead for you, and has protected the image of this house from being shown so that when you become the owner, the paparazzi won’t be able to find you right away!

Or… may be this is one of those shy houses – the kind of house that shirks away when you try to take a photo it.

If this street view image is correct, there’s nothing to hide really:

Personally, I’m just glad it is clarified that this house needs the repairs kind of TLC – rather than, say, emotional support, counseling, or other sorts of tender, loving care. Good to know!

Big house for big family and ready to move in. Bring your offer this one won’t last long.

Although Silicon Valley might not be particularly family friendly (they’re bad for efficiency and productivity), there are definitely houses that are family friendly.

Like this one!

While 576 sqft may seem a bit on the small size, and that $859 per square foot might be a bit expensive, the realtor says that this house is great for a big family. And, let’s face it, realtors are the most knowledgeable people on the planet when it comes to real estate. Would you dare deny the listing?

More importantly, this house last sold for $538,000 in 2004! Hello instant equity.

So buy this house today for your big family. It’s ready for move in, although it may not last long!

After a while, listings start to look the same. Finally! A breakthrough listing!

Wow, just check out this neighborhood of distinction. It’s a got an REI, an OfficeMax, a Target, an Old Navy… those stores don’t exist in any ol’ neighborhood! Only neighborhoods of distinction! Like this one!

And look! It’s even got a wood burning fireplace! Just… uh… watch out for those spare the air days.

The 150 sqft Chateau is probably the best part of this house. Look, it’s even got its own planter! Just think of the businesses you’ll be able to start there. Or, even better, you can rent it out as a pied-à-terre for others to enjoy this neighborhood of distinction.

Regardless, I think this Realtor deserves a bonus for this extra effort. Buyer… give the guy an extra % of the sales price!

Opportunity knocking! Excellent Cupertino schools, convenient location, easy walk to Lynbrook high school, fresh interior paint. May be available on a lease with option to buy.

Knock, knock.

Who’s there?

Opportunity.

Opportunity who?

Opportunity to send your kids to Lynbrook high school!

Let’s check out this amazing fresh interior paint:

Oh… it’s a little too dark there. Let’s try this one:

Oh… that’s a bit too dark too. But check out that light fixture. You know why that’s going to be helpful? In the event of an earthquake, you’ll know that the ground is moving because the light will be swaying! I hate when an earthquake happens and I don’t notice – this light will make sure you know. Especially when it hits the cabinet and shatters.

But let’s look at the finance aspect of this house – lease with option to buy.

Should you do it? Should you lease with option to buy? Or should you just buy it outright?

Thanks to Burbed reader sonarrat for this find.

Frankly, I don’t see why anyone needs to go to school – you can learn a lot just from real estate listings. For example, did you know that there’s a Little Portugal in San Jose? I certainly didn’t. Heck there’s even a North and South!

And also, who knew that you could have a farm house right next to 101? How quaint! How convenient!

Let’s go look at some of the photos:

Vintage indeed! Look the appliances! Look at the car! Too bad the car doesn’t come with the house, that’d be a real bonus!

But more importantly, this house is now pending, which goes to show just how HOT HOT HOT the market is. Don’t you wish you had purchased this house?
