    $ 1,430,000 house down the block from me for sale (pix).....1300 sq ft.

    $1,430,000 ?????

    I mean, ya...I overpaid for my place too, but I thought prices would have dropped a bit by now. The rest of the country is getting hammered. Im not complaining, but looks like upgrading anytime soon is not happnin'

      location location location - Santa Monica is a desirable place to live so people will pay a premium to live there just as they pay a huger premium to live in Manhattan in NYC.

      i think people are nuts - there are beautiful places to live all over North America where 500K buys a dream house for most people.

              None taken, I didnt pay close to that. And I agree....if you spend 1.4 on a house, you better be able to look around and feel like you live in a 1.4 million dollar house.

                  That's a 65 yr old block home, on a small lot for $1,430,000. ....

                  I'm about to sell a commercial/retail building, 14,500 sq ft for just over $1,500,000. The annual rent is $134,000. (triple net, tenant pays tax, ins, maintenance) ... that's a capitalization rate of about 8.75% ...

                  The point I'm making is that to purchase that house for a rental investment you would need to find a tenant willing to pay $11,000. a month plus all expenses for you to get an annual return on your money of 8.75%

                  So what do houses rent for in that area?

                          What a rip off. Why do people even live in California? That exact house where I live would go for at most $75,000. Property taxes maybe $700 a year.

                                  I used to live in Sarasota. Not exactly cheap city and that house would go for at most 1/5 that price. And I'd be maybe 3 miles from the Gulf of Mexico at worst. For 1.5 mill I could a get a house twice that size right on fucking Siesta Key.

                                    that's a cute beach house to rent - $1500 for a week right on Santa Monica beach sounds like a great vacation price to me - beats a hotel.

                                        Even for Santa Monica that is high unless it is in some amazing location.

                                          Seriously, LA prices are getting out of hand. If i was to stay at my place, my rent goes up $355 a month. Currently at $2250 to $2605. If i want to go month to month, its $2785 a month... worst part is its a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in a building that was built in the 1960s.

                                          I have friends that bought places around here years ago before the market boomed and laugh at people now for what they are paying. regardless, crazyness and people with to much money will always drive this market up and up.

                                              I wonder how much my 10,000 sq. ft. home would cost if it was in Santa Monica.

                                                          Well prices are insane over here too, last saw a 1.18 million dollar house in the city center where I live... 4500 sq feet plot of land, house is 3050 sq feet living area, mind boggling.. and the climate sucks over here!

                                                              Amazing.

                                                              That wouldn't cost more than 79 - 85k here, 10 - 15k less if there is no basement.

                                                              But most Northern Wisconsin women are ugly and obese so you have to take the good with the bad.

Not many million dollar homes though were I live. The real estate market and apartment rentals are really affordable.

One right near me was a 950 sq ft 2 bed/1.5 bath condo that was on the market for $828k. I went to an open house there in August and the agent told me I was the only person she'd seen in 2+ hours. So I can't believe theser sellers are going to get anywhere near $1.4M for that little shitter.

                                                                                Houses are just building materials, land has value.

This must be the zenith of being a Westside snob.

If they can get $1.4mil for it, more power to 'em I have neighbors who put their house on the market for $1.2mil knowing they probably wouldn't get it but figured if someone was willing to pay, who were they to turn it down? It's at $800K now. They are in no rush to move and will probably not sell unless they get that. Their biggest problem is that it is by far the nicest house in the subdivision on the largest piece of land. Always buy the worst house in the nicest area
