DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH* TWO STORY HOME IN ROUGH CONDITION WITH DEFFEED MAINTENENCE**VALUE IS THE LAND**LARGE FLAT LOT IN NEIGHBORHOOD OF NEW CONSTRUCTION HOMES*GREAT CANDIDATE FOR BUILD/REMODEL

Frankly, I’m not sure what “DEFFEED MAINTENENCE” is – is that when you starve the house so that it doesn’t gain weight?

In any case, that’s not why Burbed reader Sandi sent this to me – here’s what she had to say:

 Here is another gem…especially photo # 8 of 9…gotta love the owners,

1 laying on the bed and the other in the recliner. Looks like they can’t get up. MLS # 760244

Hm, let’s take a look!

Hm. Nothing unusual so far – just another classic reminder to potential buyers of how Bay Area houses don’t need any further investment once you buy them… let’s keep going…

Found ‘em!

So… are they included with the purchase price? Or not? One wonders!

Thanks Sandi!

Description – 1149 AUDREY, CAMPBELL,CA,95008
Fixer upper! Large lot over 10,000 sq ft, huge backyard,opportunity to build custom home or remodel. Located on quiet street, excellent Campbell location

Did you guess a house in Campbell?

No? Oh.

Uh.

Well, yeah it’s a house in Campbell. And it’s a fixer upper! So it’s win win!

Just think: Buy it for $1.25 mil, then spend another $300k to build a new house. Presto – you’ve suddenly got a $1.55 million dollar house in the Bay Area. Now that’s something you can write home about!

And with a lot that big, you can easily rent out campgrounds for people to set up tents. Can you say CA$HFLOW?

You can thanks to Burbed Reader Sandi for this find. That is, if Sandi hasn’t bought it already!

Did you guess “A 1694 sqft house in Campbell!”?

No?

Well… uh… you should’ve because that’s the answer!

I really like the drought resistant yard that’s been added to this house – it’s very eco friendly. It’s fairly obvious that the next step is to pave it over so you can have more parking…

ALL NEW remodelded home offers great location & Campbell living!! 2,250 sqft. of living spc. 4 Bdrms & 3 bath rms. Beautiful kitchen w/ granite coutner tops& NEW highest quality appl. Gorgeous oak hrdwd flrs. PLENTY of dual pane

I love how this house is over $1 million dollars, but yet the description is so… well… chump change. Plenty of dual pane? What, this million dollar house has so many windows you can’t count them all? And what exactly is “Campbell living” anyway? How does it differ than, say, Sunnyvale living? Is it more special? Does it mean “enjoy the roar of 17 all day and night”?

Sweet! I’ve always wanted to be an organic farmer. And with this house I can! I guess there aren’t too many people who aspire to be organic farmers as this has been on the market since late June.

Does this house look familiar?

It should! It showed up on this site on July 20th… but back then it was $800,000!

This is a clear sign that Silicon Valley houses are now under appreciated!

If a house that’s fallen apart can’t sell for $800k… then something is seriously out of whack. I demand a Congressional investigation! This must’ve been rigged. After all, it’s special here!

Alright… over $1000 a sqft for a 90 year old home – no big deal. Been there, done that.

Ok, so it’s in Campbell and not Cupertino or Palo Alto. That’s just a little strange.

But then comes the kicker:

Why in the world would you post this picture your in real estate ad? I mean… seriously! WTF?
