Welcome back--1813 9th Street, Alameda, CA
In the continuing "maybe it wasn't such a good idea to buy an overpriced property we can't afford" saga, today we (re)introduce 1813 9th Street, a small, unassuming house at the north end of 9th street. The specs are unimpressive:
I'd personally describe it as "blends in with the elements," which I suppose is curb appeal for the privacy-minded.
At $375,000 ($380 / sqft) it is significantly overpriced, but considerably less so than it was the last time it sold:
I really hope the idiots who approved those loans, and the idiots who signed their names at the bottom, really enjoy the financial ruin they so richly deserve.
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 986 sqft, approx. 5,220-sqft lot, MLS(r) #40370885, $375,000Good curb appeal and desirable area are all in the eye of the beholder.
GOOD CURB APPEAL, HARDWOOD FLOORS, [...] WELL-PRICED HOME IN A DESIRABLE AREA.

That's right: somebody paid $558 / sqft for that nondescript little box in a nondescript neighborhood.
