That's California for ya.

That's relatively close to a typical teardown price in 22101 or even 22043, so what's your point, OP?

Put up some wallpaper and you can sell it for 850K in 22207

Hardly matters if a property has burned down, or never been renovated. It's a teardown just the same.

"Condemned"

Silicon Valley doesn't sound so bad, there's a lot less to haul away before you can start rebuilding for roughly the same price..

The outside of the Arlington house does not seem so bad. Wonder what happened to make it condemned.

Probably hoarders or mold.

It will go well over ask. I'm thinking $1.3. it is way worse here than DC area will ever be. I've lived in both and the Bay area is absolute insanity.

It’s literally three minutes from the Chain bridge.

Here’s $1M in Redwood City: the listing remarks are a must read. “Frosted flamingo shower doors create a marvelous bathing experience.”

That listing is hilarious! At least they have a good sense of humor about the obvious teardown..

Hmm this one is a little surprising but almost no SFH between San Francisco and San Jose are under a million now, so I shouldn't be surprised. This neighborhood is nothing like the one with the burned out house in San Jose - Willow Glen. There is a lot of outreach to that neighborhood (Fair Oaks). But this house could (and probably will be) rented out (flamingos and all!) where as the other one is not habitable.

I mean the burned out house's neighborhood is very sought after. The flamingo shower door neighborhood is the one that has a lot of outreach, similar to east palo alto.
