PALO ALTO (KPIX 5) — A home a realtor says may be infested with rodents is on the market in Palo Alto with a staggering asking price.

The home on Middlefield Road neighbors when it went on the market for $1.8-million.

“We thought it would possibly go for $650-thousand, maybe $700-thousand.  Then when it came out originally for $1.6-million, and then they raised it to $1.8-million, we were like, I’m kind of dumbfounded,” neighbor Dave Ashton said.

The house is so bad that prospective bidders can’t even go inside to take a tour.  Part of the house is being held up by wooden posts.

“It’s obviously uninhabitable,” Ashton said.

Debbie says if the home’s eventual new owners plan to bulldoze the house and start fresh, they will likely have to add nearly $1-million on to the price tag.

“I think it might be infested with like rodents, and it’s hard to even stand in it for three minutes,” Wilhelm said.

The seller received two offers Tuesday, and Wilhelm says it sold to a group of investors.
