(catherine) a house smaller than some studio apartments will probably sell for a ' lot' of money.. that's because the one-bedroom cottage is in the coveted

silicon valley town of los gatos. kron4's maureen kelly shows us this latest example of the bay area's red hot housing market. call it an example of unreal estate.this teeny bungalow at 55 rogers street in los gatos is only 550 square feet...with one bedroom and one bath which from what i can see are both very small and very outdated. it's listed at nearly 860 thousand dollars but there are reports of a bidding war and it's speculated that sale price will be several hundreds of thousands dollars over asking. the real estate listing describes the home has having endless possibilities.....but it's phyiscal structure is far from endless. i timed myself as i circled the home. according to my stopwatch only took 42 seconds to walk around the entire housethe house might be

little but it's sitting on a 10-thousand square foot lot in a very sought after area. i spoke to a local economist who says in the real estate world a property like this one is referred to as a scraper meeting that as soon as this deal closes escrow it's more than likely but that the new owners will have a bulldozer come in and demolish this property so they can build a new one no matter what they end up paying for the old one that's 10,000 ft.2 in los gatos it's one of the most exclusive markets in the bay area so paying 1.4 for land if you're going to build a $3 million house it might make some senseit's a small sized example of a big issue here in the bay area....as the demand of a growing local economy with many high paid workers runs up against the short supply of homes for sale.... and the houses that people might normally sell they're gonna sit sit on it. we're seeing affordability fatigue. where it's making it difficult for someone who might want to trade up to that next house to do so, and if they can't do you sell they're gonna stay put and not sell their house and that causes the inventory problems become a downward spiral. new construction can certainly help that cycle that downward spiral spiral but still were vastly under building compared to the country compared other similar marketswhich is why tiny houses are continuing to sell for big dollars.maureen kelly kron4 news ( ken ) california lottery
