That comparison is ridiculous, have you been to Palo Alto? It's a mansion neighborhood like Atherton. A better comparison would be with San Jose or San Mateo that are like, normal cities. Still way more expensive than Austin but it's nowhere near the price of Palo Alto or Atherton.
- exdsq 5y agoI live in Palo Alto and love zillowing random houses on my walk to Starbucks. Record for most expensive town house on a normal residential street is $19m. It’s insane.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoZillow and Redfin and trulia estimated values are clickbait. Only look at recent sale prices and comp sales.
- bradknowles 5y agoYou have to go well east of San Jose in order to find what I would call a “normal” city in the Bay Area.
- handmodel 5y agohttps://www.trulia.com/for_sale/San_Mateo,CA/ https://www.trulia.com/for_sale/San_Mateo,CA/ I think that's fair but the nonetheless the only houses on here in San Mateo for under 600k are about 600sq ft. Even 1200sqft homes are 1M+ Where do you think married mid-level engineers are going to live? For 500k in Austin you can choose between brand new 1300 sqft homes or older 2500 sqft homes.
