Gosh, house price in South Bay is rising too fast

https://redf.in/l8yjER How is this worth 2.26M? There was a post complaining about the price of a similar house few weeks ago but even that was just sold for 1.8M (4159 Jan Way)

Inflation?

Meta almanacn OP Apr 24

Inflation is underestimating house price increase , at least in Bay Area

Meta almanacn OP Apr 24

ServiceNow igfhhd Apr 24

Ahh well it’s 6000 sqft. It’s probably land value.

These people complain about the house price while their RSU gains have gone up so much. If you got richer lately, most likely people around you are also richer recently

Meta almanacn OP Apr 24

I am not so rich that I can easily make up 460k difference. I am not sure who can.

Google fnQL05 Apr 24

Exactly. 460k difference means an increase of RSU by 700k to account for tax. You would already need to have RSU worth 1.5 or 2M 2 years ago to be able to afford such growth (except maybe Meta or Nvidia). It's only those folks buying at such prices.

I get that the area is stunning, but that is truly crazy

You clearly have lower bar for what stunning means

I can’t imagine paying 2.26M and only getting 1500 sqft and a 2 car garage 4 bedrooms is nice tho

Apple IamNotOP Apr 24

4bedroom in 1500 means each room is like 100sqft

State Farm bean0 Apr 24

Yup

Lazy listing, not even pics of the interior. Is that common? not in the bay

Meta almanacn OP Apr 24

I think they might have just removed the pictures after closing?

DoorDash RPNine Apr 24

Although it is an attractive home, in this instance, the buyers overpaid by a lot. I know a couple that were bidding in the South Bay but kept getting outbid, they decided to target San Mateo instead, and their broker, clearly dishonest, convinced them to bid a South Bay price in San Mateo, and they immediately won. Of course, their broker didn’t tell them prices are $300k lower in the new area, and for their budget, they could have bid on a bigger house or bid a lot less. Sometimes that happens, especially when you see a house far away from the expensive areas suddenly get an unusually high bid, and I suspect that’s what happened here. People should take note of the buyer’s broker. I would never let a friend use the buying broker on this house for any kind of transaction.

If 99 people think it is worth 1m and 1 person thinks it is worth 10m. It will sell of 10m. Some times you are not wrong, there was just a bigger fool in the market
