Now I'm trying to sell it for $464K and it seems to be getting some interest, but you guys down there (except for New York, LA, and some other really premium places) pay less than half to get a much bigger house with all the same or better finishes.

And you have better weather generally - least in the lower half.

Why do I live here again?
much of the Bay Area/silicon valley is as bad or worse.

my house 1711 square feet, was an absolute dump when I bought it about 10 years ago for $460k now the same floor plan (1960's subdivision) just sold for $800k, the problem is that the wife wants a $1.6m house in a fancier town up the road and it would not be as impressive as most of the houses in this thread
