My Typweriter ,is brokne--1127 Broadway, Alameda, CA

If a baker is willing to spend time and effort on presentation for $2 pastries, you'd think a Realtor(r) would have the decency to do the same when the price tag is 201,000 times that. But evidently that's not the case. 1127 "BROAD Way", represented by an illiterate, spastic baboon by the name of Wilson Stephens of "WS Investments" (I wonder if he's the WS), has the following specs and unfortunate description:

2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,300 sqft, 2,590-sqft lot, MLS(r) #40404977, $402,000

Lovely Home in ALameda, Move in Ready w/ Bright ,light and Airy open plan.Hardwood floors, tile in Bonus rm.

Mr. Stephens might be the only person in the English-speaking world who can't spell "Broadway" properly.

That medium-sized house on a little lot is priced to sell, assuming the inside isn't wrecked, and its open house(s) will probably be "mobbed", to use the vernacular. It's still way too much money for such a boring house in a high-traffic location with practically no lot, but there's a fool born every minute willing to catch the knives thrown by even greater fools:

You read right, some bright bulb got themselves a Christmas present 3 1/2 years ago for $675,500 ($520 / sqft) and promptly proceeded to lose it, to nobody's surprise. They apparently tried to get rid of the house in March 2007 and had the gall to ask $699,500. It'll probably sell this time around, since the asking price is 43% off and flirting with reasonableness, but lower Broadway sure feels a bit crowded these days.
