Wewa, good point. I was a bit suspicious about the claim too.
Nothing against people living in Sunnyvale, but unless you put in tons of marble bathroom, marble countertop, marble floor, marble swimming pool, I just cannot fathom an average 30-year-old Sunnyvale tract home going up from 800K to 1.4M in one year. Impossible.
juju, here's the link for you buddy:
When do you plan to cash in your fortune? I suggest you wait until spring. You'll make enough money to earn half of the Bay Area.
Best wishes, dude.
I mean to buy half of the Bay Area. Soon, we'll all be renting from trolls like juju.
In their own minds, of course.

juju is back! I still think that the name sounds like a food item.
Soon, we’ll all be renting from trolls like juju.
And live under a bridge?
I am happy that we have a dedicated juju-troll-buster. Thanks brightc!
Well, juju must be busy closing the purchase of another 5 units from Cupertino "Villa" recently. If history repeats itself, we shall watch juju paying his condos off next year, when each unit hits $1 million (Iraqi dinars!)
In the native tongue of the Tabuktu tribe, juju = sweeten pig feet.
Troll,
The house looks like a POS, but according to you, the $1.4 milion is a good deal. Wow. Such wisdom. Such streetsmart (not).
I checked on the listing date, and apparently, that POS you call "house" in Sunnyvale has been listed since 05/04/05. Yup, you heard it right. May, 2005. More than six months ago. Where are the multiple biddings? They must be on Thanksgiving vacation early (in May).
In contrast to what you think, I do have $1.5 milion in my bank, and $10 milion more from my GOOG equity. If you ask me nicely, I might buy that barn, tear it down, and build some trailers for you to buy. I may even get thanks from the Sunnvale residents nearby for cleaning up an eyesore in their neighborhood.
I see trolls coming here more often than usual. It must be lonely waiting inside an open house while no one bothers to pay a visit.

I believe at some point, an invitation was made to trolls. What was I thinking?
I welcome everyone including trolls, except when I feel like deleting for no apparent reason. Hmm... :)

I have been a casual reader of this website for years. In fact, I’ve exchanged some e-mails with patrick around 2003/2004 regarding the “impending†housing crash he predicted. Since that e-mail, the median price in Santa Clara county have roughly doubled. Luckily, I did not listen to him and and made a purchase on a sunnyvale properly for $799K. It is currently appraised at $1.4 mil.
What is the psychology behind trolls? What do trolls taste like?
