The great Gold Coast mansion sell-off--1711 Palmera Court, Alameda, CA
A house on Palmera Court was for sale for ages a couple of years ago, and I don't know if it ever sold. But today, a new Palmera Court mansionette appeared on the market (MLS #40337069) for a price that might actually get it sold, $1.15M:

The specs are appealing, except the lot is a bit small:
List Price: $1,150,000
ZipRealty will give you up to $6,900 cash back.*

Off the top of my head I don't remember a single time in the past 3 years when so many high-end Gold Coast homes were for sale at the same time. We have three homes on St Charles, Mr Big on Hawthorne, this home, 1600 Dayton (MLS #40315927) as well as the more ordinary (and I suppose less-Gold-Coasty) 909 San Antonio, 2049 San Antonio and a bunch of others.
There is no sale history for this house, so I suspect it might have been owned by the same person for ages with a ton of equity (perhaps 100%), hence the realistic price. Good job pricing nice homes right. Let's see how it goes(and please post some pictures soon!)
