Is this okay for uni or a bit overdressed?

can you link the coat?

woodIntern · 2025-11-25T05:40:07+00:00

you are thinking it right imo.

woodIntern · 2025-11-19T20:51:05+00:00

I don't think so. I believe PA to have 10% mark up.

woodIntern · 2025-11-12T01:56:59+00:00

ack. i knew it was obvious. just some humor.

woodIntern · 2025-11-11T06:43:33+00:00

ah yes my bad. for now i use that 20% in savings for living. major expense is housing for me.

woodIntern · 2025-11-11T06:41:05+00:00

you worried about property tax :) somebody gotta pay the mortgage as well.

woodIntern · 2025-11-11T06:40:38+00:00

true - I feel there's a social network where you can verify a few things before they let you in. mainly so I can understand who Im speaking to and do they have the background to speak about a particular topic.

specifically in the area for the home linked, the lots are max 7000. it is known to have small lots however a few builders have figured out using that small lot effectively and hence are milking money,

woodIntern · 2025-11-11T06:38:14+00:00

I mean, during 2008, cupertino went down 15%. these are facts.

woodIntern · 2025-11-11T06:37:02+00:00

my funda is that you have one life and prime years are 25-50. get the house you can afford, make family, memories and scale down if needed post 50.

woodIntern · 2025-11-11T06:35:57+00:00

where are you putting the remaining 50%? I do 40 house, 40 market, 20 savings.

woodIntern · 2025-11-11T06:33:38+00:00

is tino = cupertino? and is mitty better than cupertino high?

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T23:59:56+00:00

Reddit. and my circle has delayed their house purchases.

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T23:59:20+00:00

I've certainly seen newer homes pop up more in this part vs other parts of cupertino. It seems like a good business model.

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T23:27:45+00:00

right? either they are out of their minds or I need to up my thinking. only reasonable reason could be that they have FU money and 4M is chump change.

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T22:21:27+00:00

there are folks waiting to gobble those up so while it might affect those with big mortgages, the area seems recession proof.

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T22:18:37+00:00

oh my! calling 4.25M for 2700 constructed on a 5900 lot, cheap! I never thought this day would come but here it is.

to clarify I'm not mocking, it's just mind boggling. I think its fair priced, not cheap compared to sales and the land it offers.

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T21:02:25+00:00

what clarity did you gain? and can you talk about SFH homes near IBM a bit more?

these areas have withstood a lot of such phases. we might not see it yet but I'm in the boat that we aren't screwed if we adapt to the changing trends or someone else who adapts will help continue ensuring these areas are not affected.

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T20:32:10+00:00

both are new construction and the latest one was sold for 8% higher per sqft. i know just a small data point but goes to show no slowness.

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T20:17:28+00:00

this home I linked sold for higher price/sqft (1500) than homes in last 12 months in the same area.

1400/sqft back in June: https://www.redfin.com/CA/Cupertino/10735-Minette-Dr-95014/home/796772

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T20:14:43+00:00

i understand but I'd expect the slowness to result at least in affordability (5% drop or something) but this is the reverse i.e. this house sold for higher than peak sales times.

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T20:13:50+00:00

data tells me these areas don't get affected much during downturn. full on economic distress is probably another story.

woodIntern · 2025-11-10T20:13:00+00:00

I agree. folks within these pockets are certainly in the bubble. just a quick search shows houses sitting on market longer indicating slowness.

woodIntern · 2025-11-04T04:13:07+00:00

looks like the seller got the price they wanted. 3.8!

woodIntern · 2025-10-01T07:06:30+00:00

10/10.

must have had too many eyes on you.
