Anchor what?--386 Anchor Way, Alameda, CA
Today's Craigslist post is mostly interesting for the click-through experience once you land on the agent's site.
It's not obvious to me what is gained from posting videos rather than seachable, scannable, indexable, Google-findable plain text content, but that's only tangentially relevant.
The property listed in the post appears to be a fairly nondescript 1970s townhouse:
Non-round numbers like $436,500 always raise the Red Flag of Repossession for me, and sure enough this townhouse was bought for way too much money (~$424 / sqft) near the peak of the bubble in 2005, and appears to have been subsequently repossessed and put back on the market for a whole $123,500 less (~$330/sqft), an impressive 22% drop in market value in just 3 years.
Thanks to astute readers who pointed out I already covered this property. It didn't have the video, though...
