I just learned that, according to various sources, the median home price in Palo Alto, California is somewhere around $2 million.
Those same sources note the median home price in my Zip Code within Palo Alto is a shameful $954,000. My online research also showed the estimated market value of our home is well below the 94306 median.
I am stunned but educated.
I now understand why some people look at me differently when they learn I live south of Oregon Expressway. I can figure out why the flicker of a smile when I note our home is west of El Camino Real is just a twitch.
I am so ashamed.
