Psst--1238 Versailles Avenue is back
You may remember the heinous failure of the auction scheduled a few Fridays ago for 1238 Versailles. Looks like they're trying a real listing again, listed at $1,395,000.
"Live where you work"? How many people who can afford a $1.4M house work in Alameda?
"Only the second owners"? Let's do a little math. "After 25 years" means the house was purchased in 1984. Since it was built in 1854, the previous, original owner was at least 150 years old when they sold (assuming they were at least 20 years old when they bought the house new). That's another seriously old seller. The weather on the island must be very good for one's health and longevity.
Oh, and it didn't sell at $1,395,000, and nobody bid on it at the auction even though it started at $595,000. So what exactly makes you think it'll go this time around?
