sesame street

One of these things is not like the other one...



I read something that prompted me to look and see what is available in Beverly Hills, and found this 3 bedroom/3.5 bath beauty for $2,995,000. It is on a half acre (21,825 square feet), and basks in warmth and sunshine year-round. And, you might bump into Salma Hayek whilst looking over the asparagus and arugula at the Atelier Market.

So, maybe you can't get a Green Card, and need to settle for something in Vancouver. There is always V738247 in Shaughnessy for $2,888,000. On a 16,748 square foot lot, 3 bedrooms, with 2.5 baths, it basks in sunshine and relative warmth for about 100 days per year. And you might bump into David Emerson whilst having your BMW lubed.

...one of these things is not the same (although the prices are so close).

Things are still way out of whack here folks.

Then there is this one, just steps from the Beverly Hills Country Club. A Wilshire Boulevard beauty for a cool $1.349 million. (Oh, it is a condo/co-op with one bed and bath, but still...)

What are we thinking here?

The one in Shauuuuuughnessy has what they call "in suite laundry". Bo. Nus. No more hiking in the rain to the laundromat for me.

The BH home was built in 1952 and probably is pretty average but it is much better than the POS in Shaughnessy. Wolfe is not a great street to begin with but the price seems high for lot value given the nature of the market.

Has anyone seen this article over at MSNBC yet??
