Would you be interested in a house in San Jose? I bought my house in 1964 at a cost of $19,900. 3 bedrooms, 2 baths upstairs, living room, full dining room, kitchen, large family room and 1/2 bath downstairs plus 2 car garage. I added on 2 bedrooms upstairs for an additional $7,000 in 1970 for a total of 2,066 sq. ft. According to Zillow it is now worth $772,475. BUT, Zillow did not take into consideration that in 2001 I added on a 300 sq. ft. addition downstairs with full bath, for an additional 300 sq. ft. Interesting, the cost of the 300 sq. ft. room cost $27,000 -- exactly the cost of the whole rest of the original house. I wonder what it would be worth now???
