It sounds like it's in the Silicon valley. It said near the new Apple campus. That's probably a decent deal.
ETA: Not sure if that's Silicon valley, but near the new Apple campus would make it a desirable area to live.

Location, location, location. If it were a block or two from the beach it would also be that much.

Nope. Totally accurate and common for that area.
Cupertino, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, San Jose, Palo Alto. It's all about the tech and high dollar amounts people are paid.

Good grief. For 1.25million you'd think they could at least move the full, open, laundry hamper out of the photo  |

It probably doesn't matter what the house looks like inside. I bet it's either a teardown, or complete renovation. It's the location that's worth $1 million of that.

That really is the lot value. The house isn't worth anything.
The property last sold in 1993 for $185,00 so the tax assessment is based on that price (not current value). The 2015 taxes for it were $3925. A property across the street with the same house size/property value was assessed $10,392 for 2015 taxes because it is based on a 2007 sale.
ETA When it does sell, the tax assessment will be based on the sale price and could increase up to $20,000.

The 2015 taxes for it were $3925. A property across the street with the same house size/property value was assessed $10,392 for 2015 taxes because it is based on a 2007 sale. But when you buy a house it is reassessed based on what you actually pay for the house and you will get a bill for the difference. If they do a tear down and then rebuild once it is rebuilt they will have to pay on the new house value which will be even more. Eta. Thanks to prop 13 your taxes can only go up 3% a year unless you do something like a tear down. With prices in California going crazy this is one of the few ways people keep their homes when values go up in value to insane amounts. There can also be other special assessments and bonds in the area that get added to your property taxes that are not included in the 3%. |

ocation, location, location. She took my answer. In my area of South Carolina (not near the coast), a million and a quarter would get you an expansive estate on some really nice acreage. |
