If it wasn’t already, now seems like the exact moment California’s housing crisis got way out of hand.
A 384-square-foot “house”—which, let’s be honest, is less than half the size of an average one-bedroom apartment in the country—is going for $1.7 million in the South Bay suburb of Cupertino.
For those prices, it better come with a fancy pizza oven or an Apple Vision Pro because that’s equivalent to an eye-popping $4,400 per square foot.
The listing describes the property as “cozy,” which is fair, although “tight” might be a more apt description. The front door opens directly into the kitchen, which notably does not include an oven or a range and is directly linked to the bedroom, which is connected to a covered outdoor patio.
Suddenly, one step out the backdoor reveals why the property yields such a high price tag.
There’s an empty 7,841-square-foot lot, which provides ample room for redevelopment opportunities. A “powerhouse of possibilities” awaits for any buyer who pays the right price, the brochure says.
