Parsad Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 The home next to Warren Buffett's house in Laguna Beach is for sale. Any boardmembers have $13M laying around?

SFValue Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I am pretty sure he sold his house back in 2004 or 2005 For those that doubt his ability to time the markets or think he did not see the housing debalce coming ja ja... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calonego Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 He had a house there he bought in the '60s I believe, then he bought an adjacent house for guests. I believe he mentioned selling the adjacent home at an AGM 3-5yrs ago (he quickly figured out the replacement cost of the home, backed it out of the sale price and figured out the price paid per acre of land, which was rather irrational).

woodstove Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 The market value of my house (owned a long time) is less than what it would cost to rebuild. So my land value is negative, I guess. For some strange reason, my neighbour does not agree with my arithmetic, and refuses to accept my offer of $1.00 for his land. Even though the calculation shows he would be the net gainer on the transaction. Perhaps we can set up a derivative to value everything properly. He can then take the profit into his annual bonus.
