You could probably roast some wieners from a good distance.

This is one of the tallest single-family homes in the U.S. It's a former water tower in Surfside, California. It's perpetually for sale because no one wants to be in it during an earthquake. Current asking price: $5.5MIL.

That is GORGEOUS!!!

But I don’t think I want to be in there for an earth quake, either!

I would buy it in a flash.. Not afraid of heights, or earthquakes.
My problem is I'm a little short on kash.
I think that house is overpriced by $5,499,980 .
All I have is a Double Saw in my pocket.

Cool looking house, but I could not be bothered with the stairs.
Price is a bit OTT for my taste too - though as the average West Aussie house is now round $500,000 not as scary as a few years ago.

There's an elevator.

Or stairs for those who prefer them.

I'm not afraid of heights, but earthquakes - yes. I'm very afraid of earthquakes. It was originally built in the 1800s and renovated in 1985. I'm sure it's been retrofitted for quakes but just looking how top-heavy it is and knowing what happens to all that wood in a quake... ack!

It's mainly used as a vacation rental.

We bought our house for 125 thousand has 3/4 of a acre.
5 bedroom has 2 bathrooms.
Worth 325 now they say.
We live in tiny town. Never going to sell for that.

That's what I figured, too. Do albino peacocks even exist?

Years ago, I saw one in a small, private zoo in the midwest. He had a dark-beige-and-white pied hen with him. There were more, but those were the only two I could see well. They were about the coolest birds I've ever seen!

Housing prices are crazy. My roommate bought the house we live in in the 1980s. It cost $50K. Zillow says it's worth $260K but that's a little difficult to believe as this is a high crime area now.

OTOH, there's a 2bd/1ba down the street that's a renovated meth house and it sold for $230K last year. I'm pretty sure it's a rental now. I wonder if they told the new tenants it was a meth house?
