There goes nothing--517 Taylor Avenue, Alameda, CA
A little bird told me the new listing at 517 Taylor, a West-End bungalow on a stretch of tightly huddled-up homes, might be a foreclosure (MLS(r) #40368965). The specs are bleh:

It's a large home for a 2+1 floor plan, but the lot is small (most of them are on that block of Taylor), so $349 / sqft is a bit high, especially considering the last sale amount (presumably the balance of the loan in default that's being foreclosed upon):
Update 11/26/08: Dropped to $519,900.
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,615 sqft, 3,772-sqft lot, $563,900

I didn't find any other sale information anywhere. What I did find is that 517 Taylor is or was the address for a flooring business--I doubt the warehouse was there, so it was probably a home-office/administrative address sort of thing.
Historical home sale price (1): $324,350 Prior sale date: Jul 31, 2008
I get the feeling this will be priced around $499,000 before you know it.
