fricking palm trees are a bitch to maintain if you can’t get access to the backyard with a bucket truck.

I ain’t climbing all those shitty palm trees back there.

if you can afford the house, you can afford to pay someone else to do that

When I used to go to Stanford games, I would walk by a real estate office in Menlo Park on my way to Peet’s Coffee. Back in the late 80s and early 90s there were many listings in the $400k to $475k, including Palo Alto, which seemed really expensive to me at the time. Now those homes are selling for millions.

The POS 1500 sq ft house my parents bought for for 9k in 1956 is not even in Silicon Valley proper, more like the edge of it.
Zillow estimate is $1,731,600.



Why haven’t they sold it? That is a POS property as you said I’d be happy to cash that in.

Amazing to think how lucky boomers were to grow up when they did. My parents bought property in MT during Covid that has already gone up 100%+ in value in a few short years. Nothing like a 173x return though

Houses (and other property) are only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.
My parents had several “mistake” Beanie Babies that are said to be worth top dollar. My sister was all in on making money till she found out that you needed a buyer at the high price before they were worth anything.

Great theory.

But in the real world, where the majority of Americans are underwater in debt, palm tree maintenance costs don’t cross their minds.

Neither did that astronomical interest rate on their Tahoe.

You’ll learn one day.

That's a Eichler type mid-century modern home. Very common in pockets of the San Francisco Bay Area.

First thing I noticed was no pool. Good guess on it being covered, but some fancy cover with grass.

Pools can be a positive or negative selling point obviously, but I’d pass on this one if no pool.
