You'll Never Guess...

Alright, friends. Here's a testament to how crazy California is. Below you'll see a picture of a flier I found in our neighborhood today. It's a house for sale in the area behind our apartments in Van Nuys. It is offered at a certain sum of money. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to guess the figure.

Post a guess in the comments, or e-mail it to us. The one who comes closest (mathematically, not Price-is-Right-rules) will receive a prize. Yes, an actual prize we'll send you in the mail--we don't know what it is yet, but it'll be good!

Multiple guesses per household are okay if you can't agree with your spouse. If you guess as a couple, you'll have to share the prize.

Happy guessing!

(PS--no fair calling "Chuck" to find out, and we don't know what "man xtras" are!)

$1.3 million? I'm always amazed when watching House Hunters on HGTV and they quote prices like that for comps in the area without batting an eye. I take it that we won't be coming to California for Thanksgiving at this house?

Am I "Chuck"? I am not taking a guess at the price, but I think "man extras" would be a urinal...Karlie

oh, I get it. I should have read it first...Chuck's the realtor. I'm vain.

Now I think "Man xtras" is Many extras, but he ran out of space. I am going to quit saying stupid things now...K

First of all, Karlie is still just as hillarious as ever. (Love ya Chuck! :) And second of all, my guess is... a cool mill and a half. Am I close? Or is it rediculously low and we are all way off?? Mare

I'm going to guess $950,000. I don't know why - I just want to put in a guess that's a little different from the other people's! I'm probably way off. Either way, I'm not buying it! Maybe I'll just call Chuck.

I'll go a little lower.... My guess is $785K.

PS. Karlie is so funny. Why doesn't she ever leave comments on my blog?

You know, prices have gone down almost 15% in the past year in Van Nuys? That still doesn't mean they are affordable though! I'm taking the educated guess, and going around the average home price, since this does sound like an "average" home. Though it does have hardwood floors and a guest house. I'm saying it's the "LOW PRICE" of 575,990. Average home price is 460,000 in Van Nuys, compared to 590,000 of last year! Time to grab those hot properties, right?

(Hey, you asked the Realtor® what answer did you expect?) Man Extras in NM would be the BBQ grill, and built in bar in the back yard! LOL

Lexa said...

Wait, is this like the Price is Right? As close as you can without going over? Then Mark says his guess is $1!

JT said...

I am going for $850K. I think that the man extras are like built in tool boxes and CD racks.

Rachel Clare said...

Okay, when are you going to post who won?? :)

My guess is a little late but we just got our computer. I am going to guess $687,599. Just a guess.
