I know this agent.

Of course. Are wages cheap there too? Wages in Fremont are enormous.

No I live in a wealthy suburb of Philadelphia. My house is worth 850000 and its 3 times the size of the one in the post with a half acre.

Tim used to be good friends with my son, and he would come to my home. Tim later became a Real Estate agent in the same area I serviced as a Real Estate Broker. I sold a lot of these modest priced homes in my career. Today the price seems staggering, yet it has always been staggering. What if you had a dozen of these homes as rentals?

I am retired but sure miss the action.

6 percent fees on this home is how much? Cut it in half and Tim grossed that sum.

Geez. You could throw a rock out the window and hit your neighbor's house.

No thanks. I'll keep my little three bed two bath shanty on 100 acres of trees and hills.

And there is no guarantee the person buying would get to know any neighbors.

I have never researched prices in PA. I went to Philadelphia once or twice but did not see the homes. Spent time in downtown Philadelphia but sure am no expert on that city at all.
I also spent time in VA and in the Norfolk area saw very large homes on maybe 5 acres per that were priced pretty reasonable at the time.

Fremont CA used to be 5 small towns. Decisions were made for them to become one city, called Fremont with the small towns called districts.

This is the trend for that area of homes.

 

[Concerned American]

Because nobody wants to live there.

I knew a girl who lived in SF over 20 years ago in a converted storage room behind a garage. She was renting it for about $2K/mo. Prices have always been high but I've always believed that there's a limit.

I think that is pretty much the trend everywhere--prices just aren't that level.

 

[Mr Natural]

Jobs there are high paying. Why do you think prices go up if nobody wants to live there?

Never mind.

 

[Concerned American]

Do you realize I was talking about Cupertino and Saratoga prices?

Tracy is cheaper since it takes a long time to get to work in say San Jose or close to SF. I also sold homes in Tracy.

I was very clear about 100 miles. Of course Cupertino, San Mateo, and many other places IN THE BAY AREA are comparable in price but MUCH closer than Tracy.

It seems that is not the correct address though it could be on Mahoney St. Now, ponder the taxes of $1838 per years being over $27,000 for the recent seller. Prop 13 saved many people from being forced to sell their home. The new taxes are not immediate but will definitely skyrocket.

By typing the address into www.redfin.com and Google Maps (street view) I captured these images. Redfin's in particular is the exact same photo as the OP's down to the painted garage door, shrubs, and porch furniture.

They are similar, but the more expensive is larger and different colors. Both homes are much larger than original. Originally, they were about 1600 sq ft.

I did Real Estate for years.
Part time of course
Teaching was my primary job
But I’m a go getter
Always looking for an edge

So FO with you thinking you are in any way above me.

Signed

I was full time. Real Estate sales was my only job for many years. Next since my license permitted it, I did appraisals in my spare time. Later the feds demanded all appraisers have a federal license and I got that. I was so qualified the Feds issued me the top license. I learned it was highly profitable, so I added appraisals to my business. When I was only a Real Estate Broker agent, I was studying sales for years. I learned how to help customers. And be honest. Honest Brokers never have to say I am sorry.

Were you ever in the Mortgage business? I also spent my last year's in that business. I had staff at my, offices.
How many agents have you hired? I lost count.

So, you want to pretend you are my equal? Do you coach Winco?

I hired part time agents. They were not good producers.

Try this coach, you were a full-time coach and teacher. What would if a full time Real Estate Broker alleged he was the coach of winning teams?

Come to think about it. For 3 years I sponsored softball teams that were fast pitch. My first team I was ignorant of the game. I watched closely and asked lots of questions. My last team I sponsored 2 years and the team ended up #2 in the nation and they had a super high winning average. I had a manager who understood the game, but the team was kind to me in explaining things.; Did you ever have a team that was #2 in the nation as I have had?

My team was Granada Realty

Twenty teams including 15 regional champions descended on Tahoe City on Labor Day Weekend for the 1978 ASA Nationals. The host team, Perata, playing on their home field at 6,300 feet, was tagged as one of the tourney’s early favorites.

But after winning over 50 games and five tournaments in the ’78 season, the luck of the draw wasn’t with the Perata squad. A tough first-round game pitted Perata against Granada Realty of Fremont, the tourney’s eventual runner-up, and after being tagged with a loss in their opener, the Tahoe boys never recovered, going 1-2.

“The draw really hurt us,” says Perata. “We were a California team but playing out of Nevada. They usually don’t put two teams from the same state against each other in the opening round.”

S&K Rigging of Arcota, Illinois, won a 6-2 championship game over Granada. The title game was played at North Tahoe High School because “unseasonable” rain and snow that hit Tahoe City that weekend made Conners Field unplayable.

Talk to JGalt ...... he has 200X the acreage.

Me, I live in a Gated Golf Community, 2 Pools, $1500 HOA per YEAR, which includes Free......Golf, Road Work, Pool Usage and Water.

Not bad for $1,500 Per Year......Imagine NEVER paying for a round of Golf or a Monthly Water Fee beyond the $1500 YEARLY HOA.

Tell me I'm Wrong.

Geez. You could throw a rock out the window and hit your neighbor's house.

That is Awesome.
Congrats to you and your Family.
Not many have this ^^^^^.
