[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't do mid-century housing here. That's a flyover country phenomenon.[/quote]

Nope.  Your ignorance is showing.   [/quote]

Darling. I have lived in this area for 20 years. I know of what I speak. Don't you presume to call me ignorant, for when you pointed that finger at me, three pointed back at you.

OP, mid-century homes are simply not coveted here, so there aren't that many. People buy mid-century homes, tear them down, and build new.

[b]I realize that bizarre fetish for mid-century homes that began in California about 5 years ago[/b] eventually found its way to Kansas are whereabouts, but around here, colonial is king. Brick colonial. Craftsman is popular too. The only mid-century homes that exist are the shitshacks that their owners can't afford to tear down.[/quote]

Eichlers have been in California for ages, not just 5 years ago.  If you haven't looked at Palo Alto real estate lately, you should.  A tiny, not particularly attractive Eichler in Palo Alto probably sells for at least three times the selling price of an Ashburn McMansion.

I'm not sure what to make of these "shitshack" threads on DCUM.  Is this board full of people who have never seen truly expensive housing?  The prices you see for small, old houses here are nothing compared to the prices and the housing stock you would find in Silicon Valley.

OK, thanks, Ms. Google.   :roll: [/quote]
