What does $450k buy you in San Jose these days?

See that gap under the front door? I’m pretty sure that if you get bored of this location, that you can get a forklift and use it to move this house somewhere else. Great deal!

Ah, the usual “This place is terrible – so let’s say it’s great for a first time buyer!” deal.

I dunno… has that VW microbus moved in the last 20 years? Pretty creepy. I’d be a bit concerned about entering…

What a smoking deal!

I guess one thing that I wonder: how did this catch on fire anyway?

Man, that’s going to need a lot of pergo, granite counter tops, and
stainless steel appliances to fix up… At $250 per square foot to rebuild, this is going to be a million dollar house some day soon!

(Thanks Brendan!)

I’m surprised they didn’t say that “This won’t last long” – because that’s what I’m thinking.

I bet this house would be good if your last name is Winchester…
