It looks like the current owners bought this home back in 2005 with a $720k adjustable loan. Their listing price will help them just break even. Open house this weekend on September 12th and 13th from 1pm to 4pm.

My husband actually lived right next to this condominium complex when it was being constructed. He was renting one of the several hundred apartments surrounding this complex. When the homes were finally constructed they were all listed for around $1 million while the apartment buildings surrounding it were renting for less than $1500. I actually went to one of the open houses there and yes, of course these condominiums are nicer than the apartments, but for the most part they fit right into the neighborhood full of 2 to 3 story apartment buildings. It’s not a bad neighborhood, but if you have this kind of money it is probably better to just buy a single family home and avoid the $300+ HOA.

Just when I thought the last little cottage was expensive, I stumbled upon this little charmer. It is in a decent neighborhood of San Mateo, but the owner is asking for over $1000 per square foot for this little hundred year old cottage. There is an open house this Sunday, and I really wonder if there are gold toilets or flooring in this house to warrant this price?

This is a decent sized Belmont home with a pool. The sellers took out two loans that covered 100% of 800,000 from the now dead Greenpoint Mortgage. This means the mortgage alone would have been $4000 to $5000 a month on this puppy. This would be double the price of renting a home like this. Anyway, there is an open house this weekend from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

This one’s financing history is pretty interesting. It was purchased in 2005 with a $509k ARM from Wells Fargo and a $60k fixed loan from Genentech. I had no idea that Genentech gave out home loans. It may be an employee benefit or something? Anyway, this couple is probably just being realistic about the sale price because they first listed this more than 7 months ago. This is a water front home, but the water in question is a man made lake kind of thing. Anyway, there are showings for this home on 2/1 from 1pm to 4pm.

Here is another Burlingame rancher that’s being listed for way too much. Seems like it took just about 2.5 months to sell in 2006. I wonder how long it is going to take this time. Open house is today 1/25 from 1pm to 4pm.
