After being on the market for six months, this property finally dropped its price by $455100.  That is a significant price reduction and perhaps it will accept some bids now?  The price per square foot is way below the market price for the neighborhood, and the house looks quite decent.

That picture makes it look like a very small house with a false wall. It doesn’t exactly scream million dollar home. Here are some comparable data from Redfin that shows a couple troubled homes that sold recently in the neighborhood:

$607,670 720 S Delaware St
Sold on Jun 25, 2008 ,0.23 miles away, 5 bd / 3 ba 2,033 Sq. Ft.

$835,000 718 10th Ave
Sold on Apr 10, 2008 0.32 miles away, 2 bd / 2 ba 1,959 Sq. Ft.

So basically at $598 per square foot, this home is still overpriced for its neighborhood.

This home still has an assessment above $1 million but it is under its sale price in 2004.  Inflation adjusted it is under the 2003 price. It is fairly large and is only 11 years old.  You would think that they would post a few pictures of the property at this price point, but nope, all we have is the street view photo.

At first glance it seems like this condo has very low cost per square foot, but then if you took a look at the HOA you will see why.  The fees are $660 a month!   The condo is at a very good location at the heart of San Mateo downtown, though.  This is open on July 27th from 1 to 4 pm.
