Trading off rain for high property prices
A colleague of mine in Redmond had this to say earlier this week:
sanaz’s space: and why am I feeling blah…
ready to start my week on an energetic note but feeling kinda blah… well maybe it’s because it’s been raining for 29 consecutive days in seattle!
Seattle sure is beautiful in the summer - but it sure is dreary in the fall/winter/spring.
However, there are certain positive tradeoffs to living in Redmond. For example, you probably won’t find an ad like this:
First, it should be clarified is that this house is actually in East Palo Alto, and not Palo Alto. Very important distinction.
Next, the best deal on the SF Peninsula.” is actually a pretty reasonable price. Just look at some of the other photos from this listing. It has a pretty big yard! And all the windows seem to come with free bars! Woot!
Just last october, a place down the street sold for $700k! (2362 Poplar Ave. $700,000, 1,010 SF, ) I’m surprised this is still on the market at that amazing price!
So… Rain or this?

Hi Denis,
