Thanks again. Almaden area is awesome - I'd love to buy a house there or near Los Gatos, but housing prices have gotten even more ridiculous here recently. New townhomes built about 5 miles away from Los Gatos in Cupertino are going for $2.3 million... it's insane.
Yep, the second house I had built (in a subdivision) near Coleman & Almaden Expy, I paid $33,000 for (3 bed, 2 ba, 2,000 sq ft). That was back in 1971.

Now, Zillow tells me that it's worth $1.4 million. Hell, I couldn't afford to go back and buy the first house I had built in CA. .........

That one I paid $21,000 for, brand new (1300 sq ft) in 1968. Yep, $1 down for earnest money and using the GI bill for financing. Zillow says it's worth $850,000 now.

Ahhhhh....... the old days ......
