A lot to ask--609 Fortress Isle, Alameda, CA

| | Comments (0)
This new listing on the lagoon strikes me as a little too hopeful (MLS #40355668):

Gorgeous lagoon home located on a private and serene cul-de-sac, a quiet South Shore neighborhood. The spectacular view of the lagoon will leave you breathless. This 3 bedroom 2 baths home has a lot to offer. Open House 7/20 1-4PM..

Considering the trouble a neighbor was in not that long ago (I know, it's not an exact comp) and the state of the market these days, $1,199,000 is a tad high ($558 / sqft), even with the spectacular view, considering this is what you're getting:

609 Fortress Isle, Alameda, CA

Public Facts:

  • Single family
  • 5 beds
  • 2.0 bath
  • 2,149 sqft
  • Lot 7,176 sqft
  • Built in 1963
There's no sale history available, so this might be owned free and clear and have some room to negotiate. I wouldn't hold my breath for the asking price for too long, because the holiday season will be here before you know it.


Update 7/27/08: We're bragging a bit, are we? Maybe we should quit shouting and drop the ol' price, eh?
