How much does it cost to live next door to the Brady's?

More on my morning walks...

Depending on my route I occasionally pass by the famous "Brady Bunch" house. I think this might be the most famous house in my area. The house was used for the exterior shots, but all the actual scenes from the TV show were filmed on a lot. The current owners added the tacky fence to keep the tourists at a distance.
I discovered the house next door to the Brady house is for sale. I had to find out how much it was! I figure it's a good way for me to gauge what the Brady house might be worth.

So what does it cost to live next to Mike and Carol Brady?





$1,349,000

OMG!
Granted, Michigan sucks right now and that house wouldn't sell here today. BUT ... a few years ago, when Real Estate was going well, that house would only sell for about $250,000 on a GOOD day! Probably more like $220K-235K

Ouch! Or is that cheap for California?

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!! Is that what real estate prices have fallin' to? Man, I am never gonna own a home in Studio City without AT LEAST three incomes. Hello Mormon conversion!!!

I stumbled across The Brady house a couple of months ago while surfing the net. Come to find out it's two blocks from me. Looks like I'll be looking for a house next to where The Munsters lived. How do I get to 1313 Mockingbird lane?

Nancy, The prices here never stop shocking me, even with the real estate slump that we are going through.

Shell, I guess it's cheap for some here (like the head of a studio)...outrageous for others (everybody else).

bdub - I think the Munster's would make great neighbors! They are Texans. Check it out here http://www.munstermansion.com/main.html

I'll take it!!!

Of course...they might have to come down a little on the price...only about $1,200,000.
Think it's a possibility?

Yowzah..that's a lot of mulah for a not so "wow" house, although I do like the stainless appliances. Seems like your hood is up to NYC prices, though you do get a bigger bang for your buck, like being able to claim that Florence Henderson flirted with Barry Williams right next door!

Er... I'm a civil servant... I can't even walk in the same neighborhood, let alone buy there.
