That means in the high cost areas we will be back to $729,750... yahoo! Don't forget the mixed use buildings with four residential units and four-plexes can go as high as $1.4 million. SF and surrounding counties this is your chance to move some of those mixed use and larger four unit buildings.  Also remember it can be anything before the renovation as long as it is 1-4 units after the renovation.  That means it could be a warehouse - turn it into four units... maybe Live-Work units.
