Take that again New York!

Man… we are just rockin’ it out!

HAH! 

Did you really think this was going to be in the Bay Area? No way! It’s Friday! Time for a reality check!

With Microsoft in the news this week, I thought it’s time we took a look at what BAY_AREA_MEDIAN_HOUSE-PRICE – $100,000 could buy you:

REALTOR.com: Find a Home – Listing Detail

Redmond, WA  98053
MLS ID#: 26034300
 $659,900
3 Bed, 2.75 Bath
2,930 Sq. Ft.
2.8 Acres
 
Single Family Property, Area: Redmond/Carnation, Subdivision: non tract setting, Approximately 2.8 acre(s), Lot is 121968 sq. ft., Year Built: 1997, View, Two story, Hardwood floors

Yeah… that’d be about $2 million here in the Bay Area. Maybe even $3 million.

But Redmond isn’t the Bay Area. They don’t have our gang problems, our public school funding problems, our traffic problems, our sprawl problems – instead, they have rain.

Bay Area wins by a long shot! Still the best place in the world to live!

Ozark, MO 65721
MLS ID#: 512316
$499,000
5 Bed, 3.5 Bath
3,829 Sq. Ft.
5.05 Acres

Hm… $500k for a house with metal bars on the window in what was once called the murder capital of America, or $500k for a 5/3.5 house in Ozark, MO.

Sorry sarritahunn, but I’ll have to stick with the insanity!

Fret not, other readers – back to Bay Area housing in the next entry! Submit your worst find and be mentioned on Burbed.com!

I think it’s time to do a property that’s outside of the Bay Area. What can you get for $500k in… Portland?

REALTOR.com: Find a Home – Listing Detail

MLS ID#: 6002724
$499,500
4 Bed, 2.5 Bath

That’s just crazy – way too much house for the money!
