Update on the house that I reported on a few months ago: a ruin with rotting floors, non-functioning bathroom, extensive water damage, on the market for $599,000. To refresh your memory:
Last week, I found out that the selling price was $973,250.
Yes, you read right. There were 13-18 bidders on a court-ordered sale, according to two real estate agents I've heard from. The house is in North Berkeley, a couple of blocks from ours.
I'm astounded. I'm faint. How can it be? Who wanted this house that badly?

Also--pictures soon from the New York City trip, especially of Wave Hill, the estate 25 minutes north of Manhattan in Riverdale. I was so entranced with the artistry of the landscaping that about a third of my photos are of that. Here are a couple:
