πŸ πŸ’Έ I mean, $2.8 million is a crazy amount of cash just to live in some house, but if it's got 4 bedrooms and a big backyard like that lot does, I guess it's worth it for some people. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I've seen those houses go on sale and people get bids from tons of buyers, so I think the owners knew they had something special going on. Plus, Piedmont is a nice area, lots of amenities and stuff, so if you can afford it, why not? 😊 But for me, I'm good with my tiny little apartment in Oakland, gives me room to stretch out like πŸ€Ήβ€β™‚οΈ.
 
Just saw this news about the $2.8 million house in Piedmont 🀯 it's insane how much people are willing to pay for a "serene oasis" I mean, sure, it's got 4 bedrooms and modern bathrooms, but isn't that just what you'd expect from a luxury home? 🏠 And what's up with the super high price per square foot? Like, is that just because it's in Piedmont or something? πŸ’Έ Also, these big sales are making me think about how the housing market is so... unpredictable. One month we've got $1.35 million homes selling for a steal πŸ€‘ and the next, $2.8 million houses are breaking records πŸ“ˆ Anyone else feeling like this whole thing is just a wild ride? πŸ˜…
 
πŸ πŸ’Έ I think it's crazy how much money people are willing to spend on homes in places like Piedmont. Like, $2.8 million for a 2-story house is just insane! 🀯 The lot size is huge too, and the fact that it sold for over $1k per square foot just shows how rare those prime properties are. It's making me think about how much I'm getting for my money if I ever decide to sell my own place... probably not as much as I'd like πŸ˜…
 
I'm loving this uptick in luxury home sales πŸ πŸ’Έ! It just goes to show that people are willing to splurge for those unique properties with loads of character and charm. I remember when I first moved to Piedmont back in the 90s, it was all about being close to nature and having a sense of community. Now it's like everyone wants to live on a private oasis 🌳! Of course, with great luxury comes great responsibility (and a big price tag πŸ˜…). Still, as long as people are happy in their homes, I say go for it! The market might be crazy, but if you find your dream property, it's all worth it πŸ’•
 
I think this is just crazy! $1,072 per sqft? That's insane! I mean, yeah it's a beautiful home and all but that price tag is like trying to buy a castle . And people are willing to pay it? I get it, Piedmont is like the ultimate luxury neighborhood, but come on. Is this what they're calling a "serene oasis" anymore? It just feels like another day in the hyper-inflated Alameda County real estate market
 
omg just saw that huge mansion sold for 2.8 million 🀯 like who needs that kinda cash lol! anyway i was thinking about how crazy it is that people are paying over a thousand bucks per square foot...i mean i know the area is pretty and all but wow. also just looked up what 5,148 sqft even looks like on google earth and yeah that lot is HUGE 🀯
 
πŸ€” This sale is like, totally expected, right? I mean, $2.8 million for a house that's been around since 1916? That's just crazy! πŸ’Έ It's no wonder the buyer was willing to pay top dollar - the lot alone must be worth a fortune. And 5,148 square feet of land is insane! 🀯 But what really gets me is how these sales are affecting other homes in the area... like that one house on Jerome Avenue that just sold for $1.35 million. It's like, if you want to sell your house, it's gotta be super high-end or forget about it. πŸ πŸ˜’
 
I think it's no surprise that Piedmont is seeing such a high level of interest from luxury buyers πŸ’ΈπŸ . The area has always been coveted for its character and charm, and with homes like this one hitting the market, it's easy to see why 😊. The fact that the sale price works out to $1,072 per square foot is just a testament to the demand for premium properties in the area – buyers are willing to pay top dollar for a piece of the pie 🍰. It'll be interesting to see how this trend continues to shape the local real estate market and what other luxury homes might come on the market in the near future πŸ€”πŸ‘
 
omg, $2.8 million is like... a small island or something 🀣 I mean, who needs that kind of cash to buy a house? anyway, it's not like the sellers are going to be living there, they'll probably just put it on Airbnb and live off the likes 😏 5,148 sqft lot is a good thing though, imagine having all that space to yourself... or not. i'm still trying to figure out what's driving demand in Alameda County - inflation? or just people wanting to be seen at the right schools for their kids πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
OMG, can you believe this house is going for 1,072 a sqft? 🀯 I mean, I get that it's a super old mansion and all, but $2.8 mil is just outrageous! πŸ’Έ Like, what's so special about this place that people are willing to pay almost 2 million bucks per bedroom?! πŸ˜‚ The fact that the neighbors are selling for like half as much just goes to show how crazy the market is right now. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ And don't even get me started on the "serene oasis" - yeah, sure, it's a great view of the neighbor's lawn... πŸ˜’
 
Dude, $2.8 million for a house that's like, 100 years old? πŸ˜‚ I mean, I get it, Piedmont is fancy, but that's just crazy talk! Can you even imagine the mortgage payments on that one? 🀣 You'd be paying more to live in your own house than some folks pay for a whole vacation home πŸ–οΈ. But seriously, who needs that much space and cash when you can just have a decent-sized apartment in Brooklyn and save up for the beach? 🌴🏠 Anyway, it's not like I'm complaining or anything... unless they start raising taxes on houses this expensive, then we're having a problem! πŸ’Έ
 
I don't get why people are shelling out $1,072 per sq ft for a house 🀯. I mean, sure, it's got character and charm, but is it really worth that kind of money? To me, it just seems like a luxury item for the ultra-rich who don't need to worry about their bank accounts 😏. And what's with these sales following each other in quick succession? Is the Piedmont community just getting hyped up or something? πŸ€‘ I'm not convinced this is a reflection of the real market, but hey, maybe I'm just old-school and don't understand the allure of these high-end homes πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ.
 
omg, did you see this? like, $2.8 million for a house! that's insane πŸ’ΈπŸ˜² i mean, i get it, piedmont is a super desirable neighborhood and all that jazz, but come on... what's really going on here? are these people just rich folks splurging or is there something more to it? like, is this a sign of a growing economy or is the gov just pricing out regular folk to make room for the 1% elite? πŸ€‘ i'm not saying it's conspiracy theory stuff, but... have you considered that maybe this sale is part of some larger plan to gentrify the area and drive up prices even more? idk, just a thought 😏
 
I'm not surprised to see another high-end sale in Piedmont! This $2.8 million price tag is crazy for a 2-story house 🀯. I guess it just goes to show that people are willing to pay top dollar for those luxury properties, especially if they're located in sought-after neighborhoods like Piedmont. The fact that the buyer paid $1,072 per square foot is wild, though! That's some serious cash πŸ’Έ. I'm curious to see what other sales come out of Alameda County this year - maybe we'll get a better idea of what's driving the prices and demand in the market. πŸ“ˆ
 
I mean have you seen the pics of this place? It's like a fairytale mansion with that big backyard πŸ πŸ’›. I'm guessing it'll be super hard to find something like that again anywhere else in Piedmont, especially at that price point πŸ’Έ. I'm no expert but it feels like we're getting into a bubble situation where people are just buying up properties without really thinking about the long-term value. But hey, if you can afford it and want to be part of the exclusive club, go for it! πŸ‘
 
🏠 2.8 million for a house that's like, totally normal, right? πŸ˜… I mean, I'm not hating or anything, but $1,072 per square foot is just crazy πŸ’Έ. In my opinion, it's just another example of how out of touch some people are when it comes to what's reasonable in the real estate market πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ.
 
I'm surprised to see another luxurious home get sold in Piedmont 🀯! It just goes to show that people are willing to splurge on prime properties with character. The $1,072 per square foot price tag is insane πŸ’Έ but I guess that's what you get when you're living in a sought-after neighborhood like Piedmont. Anyway, it's interesting to see how the market is evolving and prices are rising. Maybe it's a sign of a growing economy or just people trying to keep up with the Joneses πŸ€‘. Whatever the reason, it's cool to stay informed about what's happening in the world of real estate πŸ’»!
 
The Piedmont neighborhood is really heating up with all these luxury homes selling for top dollar πŸ’Έ! I think it's no surprise that buyers are willing to shell out big bucks for those 5,148 sqft lots – it's a pretty exclusive and sought-after community. The fact that the Oakland Ave house sold for over $1,072 per sqft just goes to show how much people value unique properties with character 🏠. It'll be interesting to see if this sets off a bidding war for other high-end homes in the area πŸ€”.
 
omg this house is literally insane 2 mil is a lot of cash especially considering it's not even a mansion lol think about how many avocado toast bars they could've built with that money 🀣 anyone know if the sellers are some celebs or super rich techies? either way i'm glad piedmont is getting some more high-end love, can't wait to see what other crazy houses pop up in the area!
