Thanks to Burbed reader Nate for this find!

Now let’s be clear, this is a very nice house. You don’t need interior pics to tell you how nice it is. You just know it is going to be very nice.

The reason why Nate wanted to call this?

The pricing strategy of this house is genius. It’s no wonder the person currently living in it earned it. Amazing use of reverse psychology. The house can’t sell? Make it even more desirable by raising the price!

Now, let’s face it – this won’t work for everything in life… but if there’s one thing this kind of strategy will work for, it is undoubtedly Bay Area real estate. Why? Because it’s perfectly believable!

Knoll top setting in Emerald Hills area of Woodside. House is in very poor condition and needs lots of work before it can be used. Do not enter property without appt.

Thanks to Burbed reader Herve for this find. It’s Herve week!

I always get confused – is Emerald Hills in Redwood City or is it in Woodside? Most online maps say Redwood City.

It’s a big difference! If this is indeed in Woodside, then the affordable housing problem is solved. Just look at this deal!

If this house is in Redwood City, then… uh… maybe not. It’s still a pretty good deal and its consistent in condition with many other houses in the city.

Any area experts what to help clarify the territory?

Let’s face it… all around the world, it is a well known fact that Woodside is unique in so many ways. The (future) home of Steve Jobs, many other CEOs and rich people – it’s proof that the Real Bay Area is truly magical.

Just look at the sky in this photo. It’s a combination of two things:

1. That the amazing aura of so many wealthy people can clear up clouds, and produce a perfectly blue sky. If you had just ordinary people, it wouldn’t look like that.

2. Amazing photography skills by Realtors. Only a licensed, 3-6% earning Realtor can capture a moment like this.

Looking at this photo simply brings tears to my eyes. My god is the Real Bay Area beautiful. So beautiful. Thank you Realtor for helping the world see it!

It’s Herve week at Burbed! I’m catching up on all the listings that Herve had sent me. Here’s the second one!

Bank Owned! 18 Room Woodside Estate with views of the Redwood Trees and year round creek runs along the 1.5 secluded acres. Victorian architecture enhances each of the unique rooms. The main home is accented with gorgeous hardwood with rose accents, beveled glass windows, master suite with office or nursery and a large wrap around deck. Second unit is perfect for aupair or live in.

Wow. This is Burbed’s second house in Woodside. I’m sure some terrible fate must’ve befallen the original owner.

But, his loss is your gain. At just $244 per square foot, you can live in a true mansion with 18 rooms. The location is undisclosed, so it is perfect as a hideaway. I bet Bernie Madoff wishes he lived here instead of at an easy to get to co-op in Manhattan.

Even better, I bet you could build some tunnels and some caves. During the day, you are an extravgant, Woodside mansion living executive at a chip fab. At night? You come out to fight crime in East Palo Alto.

If this fantasy doesn’t sell it for you, I don’t know what does.
