It was ~$7xxk

7XXK for a SFR on the Penn.? Is it a 1950 2/1 "bungalow"?

@eburbed,
The Sunnyvale units you have on your site are U-G-L-Y!
Are they condo conversions from rental units?

For less than 500K you can get a much-newer unit at Compass Place (Arcadia Ter). I used to rent a condo there, it is not too bad. (At least they were built as condos with individual garages.)

Hey,
Has anyone else noticed on the (current) thread graphic, her patch says, "Estate Agent 69," and I can't quite make it out, but I think her button says, "Make an Offer."

Is there any other? Pretty good views of the Bay though. :)

Not sure - though I don't believe so.

Is there any other?

Yes, a 1950 1/1 bungalow.

Touche.

Oh prices - please go down. :(

I am not very interested in buying wooden common-interest structures that are older than 15 years.

The condos above have been reducing their prices. Some of the units are still listed at $550k, but two of the 2br have come down under $500k - the two that are under $500k were previously listed at $535k and $565k(?). These units are in a pretty decent part of Cupertino.

Recent comps:
20680 Celeste $572k 6/15/06
20692 Celeste $560k 4/26/06

@SFWoman,
It's ironic this doofus is the editor of smartmoney.com

What a dumbass.

@SFWoman, loved it, Are there areas at risk? Yes. I'm buying a home, not a property, so my time horizon for growing the value of my real estate is long.

Remember it's not a house, it's a home! ahahahahahahhahahahahahaahahha

I think we should go all mainland Chinese on these morons, a bullet in the back of the head with the bill for said bullet going to the next of kin.

One sad development is that mainland china is slowly moving towards lethal injection from firing squab.

Peter P, man I laughed out loud, firing squab Man, that's funny, especially given your encyclopedic food knowledge.

Oops. I guess this is not as serious as the nuclear detergent in the context of MAD.

@HITB,

You jest, but you're not too far off:

On the other hand, china and much of asia has a very high prevalence of Hepatitis B. You may not want to take your chances there...

@SFWoman,
I'm not a liver/GI specialist, but my understanding is that reinfection can happen and is a real concern. Transplant patients are immunized for HepB, and this is more or less effective, despite immunosupression they receive to prevent rejection. Hep C, on the other hand, is nastier and almost always reinfects the new liver no matter what you do.

*not medical advice*

For a little change, has anyone thought to have a thread about rentals? What factors influence rents like rent control, cost basis / mortgage of the landlord, taxes, maint. etc.. Why didn't all property owners try to cash out like so many condo conversions?

Well, just test the organ for Hep A and Hep B. And TB if you intend to smoke yourself into lung cancer or emphysema.

How does one buy a liver anyhow? I get buying a kidney or even buying eyeballs, but how the heck does one buy a liver (unless you're planning on buying from the Chinese death row).

e.g. “Extnsv Remdl in 2003, newer rack, brazilian lanscpng” :lol:

Professionally antiqued leather exterior, two tone faux finish upstairs and extra cushions available. Comes with a soon to be off-lease Lexus.

Great opportunity to own!* Only three previous owners. Moderate maintenance fees.

* Easement by 5 cats and 2 ex-husbands.

@SFWoman,
Ooops- just realized I didn't answer your question at all. If the donor liver is infected with Hep B, the idea is that the vaccination one had received for HepB prior to transplantation would prevent serious problems. It's not that different than if they unfortunately got exposed to HepB some other (usual) way. I don't know of reports of acute rejection because of an immune response to donor Hep B, either.

e.g. “Extnsv Remdl in 2003, newer rack, brazilian lanscpng”

Don't forget, "carpet and curtains may not match in color."

Professionally antiqued leather exterior, two tone faux finish upstairs and extra cushions available.

This might fit the bill:

skibum,

Would the immune suppressants used for organ transplant cause problems?

Great potential! Needs $20K of remodelling for a true beauty. Extensive work already underway and all preliminary work has been done.

Fabulous income property! Has potential to bring in $5K per month.

Great growth potential!

@astrid,
I believe, to some degree, yes, the immunosupression can cause problems with infection, but nowadays, patients with HepB who get transplanted get vaccinated and treated with antivirals, and this is effective.

Fabulous income property!

Translation: you probably do not want to live in it...

Has potential to bring in $5K per month.

If you find the greatest fool.

I am not sure it that is legal though.

Gosh, I didn't even think of the selling one's flesh angle. I was just thinking of realtwhores overselling their earning potential.

HARM, and other image posters,

If the picture is not workplace appropriate, can you please just post a link instead of the actual image. I am sure none of us reads the blog at work, but just in case. ;-)

M. Cote,

Wow, after your post I don't think I can bear to read property listings.

Got a hot listing in a hot, hot, hot market today via email. Clicking the MLS link, here's the feature photo:

I sure do wish they took a decent picture so I can figure out what's on the Burma Shave signs.

"You’ll probably never look at a “lock box” the same way again either."

LOL! I'm going to be suppressing giggles every time I see a "for sale" sign. And "for sale by the owner"...and "for rent". People will think I'm hyper.

Would realt-whores use the same pictures for business and personal use?

I think I'll buy a couple shares of Estee Lauder to see if OO's HK observations are repeated here.

> Kelly’s grandfather didn’t start Brobeck. Kelly’s

Was Kelley adopted? Since her last name was Phleger and people always called Atherton Phleger her “Dad” and Peter Phleger her “Brother” I figured that Herman Phleger was her grandfather…

> You’re the first person I’ve heard call Kelly smart.

I didn’t get in to a deep discussion about the direction of the UN since Herman Phleger was a delegate, but she did seem smarter that the average hot looking 94123 gal…

P.S. I always heard that she spelled her name Kelley (the way most WASPs spell of Kelly) , but than again my sister and her SF Spinster gossip sources are not always 100% correct…

Uh, not nearly as interesting as 19 year olds but here goes!

Great tale of greed run amok. We rented almost directly across the street from this home after we sold ours. The couple that owned it prior to 8 SEPT 2004 did ALL the work! In fact it's all they did was work. The place looked like a construction zone the whole time we lived there complete w/rented dumpster.

The couple that bought it on 8 SEPT 2004 (Zillow sales history agrees w/my memory) has done zip, point, sh@t! They bought for 269k and are now listing without realtor for $364,750. A $95,750 profit or a 36% return for taking out the garbage?

The open house the "Flip this House" couple had in fall 2004 literally created a traffic jam! I am not kidding. People were actually stopping and checking the house out just b/c there was such a scene. Also notice the listing was done almost 2 years to the day. What a joke. I'm just sick of it.

Oh, they're relocating to a "family property" and will really miss this place. Otherwise I guess they would have asked for more than the 18% a year appreciation they are currently demanding "post peak".

Even though this is miles from the BA I still felt it was a great example of sellers not only abusing the tax code to the "enth degree" but pricing based on their personal designs and financial needs rather than the realities of "Post Peak" (Day 371).

If for nothing more than my own curiosity I'll see what I can't learn about this "family property". What? Did you get a call from an attorney in Vienna just now informing you that your great uncle Morrison B. Tuddworthy the 3rd left you his estate? Totally unexpectedly? What is it that you know now, that you didn't 730 days ago?

I'm surrounded by scumbags! HELP!
