Very Small Sausalito POS
This may be the smallest one yet. This Sausalito POS is 528 sq ft (the lot is smaller than most houses at 1,045 sq ft!), 1 br 1 ba, built in 1948. Asking $650,000. That's $1,231 per sq ft. LOL! Just enough room for you and your dog and maybe a plant. From what I hear people are being forced to buy smaller houses in Marin than they really want due to rising interest rates so this one must be really, really desirable.

Wow. I honestly wouldn't give $25K to own this.
My old 1-bedroom apartment in Cotati was bigger than this.
It's the red door... it say's, "Someone important lives here".
A really short postman must deliver mail in that part of Sausalito--or perhaps that door is for your pet snake. Snakes like small, enclosed spaces; a perfect habitat.
After you drop $650K for an ongoing experiment in cabin fever, you'll gaze longingly at the outside world like a caged animal's fleeting memory of the open wild. Cooking ramen on your hotplate kitchen as the walls of your home constrict under the darkness of night, you'll count the joys of home ownership; why did you ever rent?
For someday, by saving those pennies on ramen, rice cakes and Dinty Moore stew, you may be able to move up in the world. A whole 2 bedrooms and 1000 sqft could someday be yours; you'll no longer sleep in the same room as your snake.
I've taken craps bigger than this house.
This could be a doll house, a garden shed, or a snake hutch (as previously mentioned) maybe a lawn mover shed, maybe a place for your tools..
Marinite would you kindly post when this house gets sold. You have posted a lot of sh** on this site, but this one to me is the most financially offensive...I would be ashamed to pay that...tell me this house is at the bottom of a shifting hill off Bridgeway...

So somebody paid $1100/square foot in 2004 for that tool shed.
Bargain!
After figuring in inflation and transaction costs - will they get $580,000+ for it now?

reskeptic, you should be writing the description for these POSs. You're a wordsmith.
I just googled it. Frank Howard Allen RE lists it as sold for $615K.

LOL...thanks, and sure: I'll be happy to humor myself on these PoSs. When you find a few new ones, send the facts my way.

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No losses anymore I want them to turn black
I see realtors walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of investments and they’re all painted black
With flowers and my deposit both never to come back

Sold!
My question was answered by yet another greater fool - who continue to appear with some regularity, it seems.
You must check out the Hamptons house on this blog: http://overvalued.blogspot.com/
Even Fido & the pupppies would WANT an independant APPRAISAL on that one
Trully amazing that there are still buyers out there who haven't gotten the memo.
I mean jeez, it's been all over TV , in the papers, on the radio, in the magazines.
It's not like it's some huge secret that housing is crashing!
Why in the heck would somebody pay 615K to squeeze themselves into that place NOW?!??!!!
what kinda drugs were the buyers on?? was this under duress?
Robert Cote...Brillant! I definitely think the Stones need to change those lyrics if they ever play Marin.

Well, they haven't yet. In fact, more than half of the POSs that grace this blog have not sold yet.
a few trips to home depot and a credit card limit of about 10,000 and you could make one of these yourself...
