With the extremely high cost of land, the new owner probably would have torn the house down anyway.

I got a 10x20 greenhouse with a rotten cover, that I’ll sell for $50,000

That is probably the lot value — that is expensive in CA.

If I’m not mistaken, it’s easier to get permits for a “remodel”. Leave one upright in place and build the rest of the house around it — that’s a remodel, not new construction.

Yep. I knew a guy who did that in La Jolla. He bought a house and tore down everything except one wall in one room. It was a remodel.

Not a big deal, really. We sold our old house for about this much and it was a tear-down. And nowhere near Silicon Valley. Not even in the same time zone.

Yes. In Silicon Valley is apparently worth at least $138 per square foot.

Yup. You get to “grandfather” the house under more generous rules for setback, square footage, etc if it is a “reno” instead of “new” construction.

And you can get your tax right-off by allowing homeless to squat in your backyard!

My family just sold a 3/2/2 in San Jose for $700K. After seeing this, I’m thinking we should have held out for more.

The Census Bureau says that when income figures are adjusted for statewide cost of living California is the poorest state in the country.
