[quote=flu]That’s just cupertino. We aren’t talking about other nicer arenas… Atherton, Los Altos Hills,etc…
A comparable place in Santa Clara County to Mira Mesa is currently around $500/sqft….Never thought I’d see the day when a hole-in-the-wall home in SantaClara would be worth more than a place in CarmelV.[/quote]
Exactly, when you start talking about nicer areas, it really shows how out outrageous the prices are up there. It also show how cheap houses are down here, relative to up there.
I would say $560/sq-ft, not just $500/sq-ft. An area that I would consider similar to Mira Mesa would be the western side of Sunnyvale. That’s almost twice Mira Mesa’s $290/sq-ft. 3-5 miles from major work center, good schools, tract homes on 5-6k sq-ft lots. Most are smaller SFR.
