In 1985 Irene and I lived on Depot Hill in Capitola, seen here in the background where the trees are. We were renters in an 850 sq. ft. house, 2 bedrooms, one bath and small backyard. We were just up the cement steps from the village and beach, prime location. Our landlords really liked us so when they decided to sell they gave us first crack at it. They were asking $125,000. We couldn't come up with the down so we had to move.Today the house is for sale again. We drove up for old times sake and walked through the house we called home for 3 years. The realtor at the Open House probably wasn't even born in 1985 but he listened politely to our little tale like he was dealing with a couple of cute old ladies. We thanked him and drove away. Asking price: $1,039,500.

Guess we should have knocked off the local bank or 7-11. ;-(
You're right. By now we would have already served our time and be back in our little Depot Hill house!~
$1,039,500 .. as in one million dollars? For an 895 sq. ft. house! Wow! I think I like your current house better! You've certainly created a work of art out of it!!!
That's California for you. And it's not 895 sq ft, it's 850 sq ft!
That's smaller than our apartment!
