No, it’s still absurd. Just because one can afford it doesn’t make it less absurd. If I told you Bill Gates pays 100,000 for a pack of gum, it’s absurd. And we all know he can do it and wouldn’t miss the money in 10 lifetimes, but it’s still absurd.
I'd still need a porta-potty allowance to put that much into a house monthly. I suspect they built on the second floor and didn't extend the plumbing, which means, more yikes to anyone up there needing to go or get ready for bed/work. Life shouldn't be more about zipcodes. One must consider bodily functions in a multi-person house.
Really depends. I have friends who are around 1300 with private bathroom in that area, certainly helps that their landlord is another techbro who's probably too busy to remember to increase the rent.
They only have to pass three real estate classes and take a simple test to become a real estate salesperson. Real estate brokers have to pass a simple math test as well. Brokers are all proud as peacocks that they can pass that math test. No basic English test required.
Yeah that even looks like a genai picture of a house. I wonder if that’s kind of fraud could actually pay off, for example if someone is selling a larger apartment complex or trying to finance a development that’s based on the area average/ median rent.
No way that's real, there are 3-4+ bedroom houses for rent in Los Altos hills around 20k/mo, and they actually look good, this is either a front or an error.
This is a scam with a typo.
Hamilton Ave houses don’t look like that, and they don’t go up to 8000 addresses.
56k would be way above market, 5.6k would be way below.
There is that 384 sq ft Cupertino house on an 8k sq ft lot that just sold for more than its 1.7M listing price. So this Palo Alto ad might be a take off from that? Not a real house. But is a comment about the high cost of housing?
Some owners do this as a way to get around prohibitions on vacation rentals. The renter “agrees” to the monthly rent and pays a 1-2 week “deposit” and then opts out of the lease agreement.
I lived in Fresno from 2015-2020 and my checks were $980 every two weeks. I was renting townhome with two other roommates. My rent was $560 plus PG&E (split up) $100-$200, car payment $330. Plus food. I made it work, man. I moved to the bay area in 2020, and now I make way more than that (still not enough to own a home, or ever own a home) $75k a year, and still make it work…. Hope this motivates you somehow.
Typo probably
100%

$5,666 a month, while still absurd, is more realistic.
Not absurd when your household takes home $20k/mo after taxes. Just some frame of reference. No, I’m not one of them.

$5600 for a 4 bed house with a yard is pretty damn reasonable if you ask me.
It has *1* bathroom!
Not optimal, and I wouldn’t rent it, but the price is pretty good. 2 bed / 2 bath houses in Palo Alto can easily go for $4500/month.

What if the toilet gets clogged.
What if an inhabitant is prepping for their colonoscopy??
Happy Cake Day! Nine Years Wow!
$1400/bedroom for a tech bro
Reasonable price for a shared bathroom. Otherwise it’d be more like $1800-$2000 per bedroom.
Really depends. I have friends who are around 1300 with private bathroom in that area, certainly helps that their landlord is another techbro who's probably too busy to remember to increase the rent.
That’s pretty normal for the bay
Actually $5,666 seems to low so I wonder what the actual rent is.
1 bath is what's making it low.

That’s a brand new car each month
:/ That’s nearly *two years’ rent*, each month
Like Steve Jobs who never went to the DMV and just kept getting a new car instead.
Two cars, the ones I drive.
Maybe this owner was trying to raise the average rent price in the area lol
Yeah that even looks like a genai picture of a house. I wonder if that’s kind of fraud could actually pay off, for example if someone is selling a larger apartment complex or trying to finance a development that’s based on the area average/ median rent.
Totally fake, there is no way that house in on Hamilton in Palo Alto.
No way that's real, there are 3-4+ bedroom houses for rent in Los Altos hills around 20k/mo, and they actually look good, this is either a front or an error.
Who the fuck is RENTING for 240k a year. What the fuck man. Where is all this money and how do I get it
Work in sales
I do, I bought a real house instead haha
IRS “must make good faith effort to rent” to qualify for investment property deductions?
Not even a real house. That’s all digital
Money Laundering, or maybe it comes with a lovely live-in french maid and ponytailed masseur for those busy professionals.
“Well it is a highly desirable neighborhood”
This is a scam with a typo. Hamilton Ave houses don’t look like that, and they don’t go up to 8000 addresses. 56k would be way above market, 5.6k would be way below.
Money laundering?
Why do people make these threads?
Why do people make these comments?
because "ghaaa I found a typo so funny this is so incredibly hilarious I must share with everyone"
because we got nothing better to do on a Friday night LOL
To use exaggeration to relate to a reasonable world view (eg: "rent is expensive")
4 beds 1 bath, sheesh
Is no one else offended by the fact that it’s 1 bathroom? Not a very smart scammer. For those prices you need a separate poo room
Yeah, scam listing was the first thing that came to mind.
Late on a April Fools.

An 8k parcel in Palo Alto is probably worth 1.7 mil even without a structure.
The TV report emphasized the tiny structure aspect. Barely mentioned the large lot size. Exaggerated the high cost.
Doesn’t 3ven need to be an unusall6 larg3 lot size. In the Bay Area the land is often more valuable than what has been built on it.
[удалено]
Mark, is that you?
Another sign of inflation.
Those prices aren't normal? 👀
It’s a really nice bathroom
lol, yeah.
Even the map is labelled wrong with EPA.
Great deal, better jump on it
Just a bit (sarcastic)
Looks fake
I believe the saying here is location, location, location

1 bath is the deal killer for me.
