Web Pointers Want to see for yourself just how intense the Silicon Valley real estate market is? Go to www.mlslistings.com. You can search by city, the type of house you're looking for, and your price range. You'll be lucky if $1 million snags you a three-bedroom, two-bath rancher in hot spots like Palo Alto or Menlo Park. With multiple bidders desperate, properties often sell at a hefty premiums to their list price. Want to know how much your house would cost in Silicon Valley? Go to Coldwell Banker's Web site at www.coldwellbanker.com/FRAMES/TopFrame.asp?Item=info. A calculator will tell you that a $750,000 house in Chicago's Lincoln Park, for example, would cost $1.5 million in the Valley. You can also reach the calculator from Coldwell Banker's home page by going to ''Information Booth,'' then ''Home Price Comparison.'' Use Palo Alto to compare with your home region. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ BACK TO TOP |
