I had a few minutes to kill while my iPhone was being repaired (don't ask), and instead of twiddling my Angry Birds thumbs I picked up the real estate brochure that was on the peeling walnut laminated table in the waiting area.
Apparently the northern California realtor representing this listed property doesn't understand that our economy isn't exactly robust.
Here's what the agent advertised:
- "Cute and funky old cabin" with "a certain magical feeling".
- Built in 1932, the cabin with its "redwood walls...feels like you are in the woods".
- Lot size: 8833 square feet. (That's a whopping 88 feet by 100 feet!)
- 2 bedroom, 2 bath.
- Fun to remodel or great lot for rebuilding."
- "Priced very competitively".
- Offered at $1,499,000.
Let's see what $1.5 million will buy in:
Grand Haven, MI: Five, count them F-I-V-E, attractive homes close to Lake Michigan, the Grand River and Spring Lake. (Grand Haven houses.)
Charleston, SC: beautifully restored 19th century home in the historic district. And since this home is listed at $1,000,000, you can use the $500,000 you saved to buy a really cute mountain cabin in Colorado. (Charleston house.)
Santa Fe, NM: If the desert is where you want to be, how about this fantastic southwest style home with its many vigas, chollas and sweeping views. (Santa Fe house.)
Anyone care to make an offer on that cute and funky old cabin?
