Each week, Embarcadero Media takes a look at home sales activity along the Midpeninsula in the communities of Atherton, East Palo Alto, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Menlo Park, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Portola Valley and Woodside. Home sales are provided by California Resource, a real estate information company that obtains the information from counties’ recorder’s offices. Information is recorded from deeds after the close of escrow and published within four to eight weeks. Here’s a look at home sales activity between Aug. 24 – Sept. 11 that was made public the week of Oct.5.

The new (or prior) owner of 801 Hermosa Way in Menlo Park appears to have leaned on Apple and Google and Zillow to block viewing the house from street view. The satellite view and the crowdsourced mapillary view show something far larger than 2BR ( Zillow says it is 3BR. Even that seems too tiny).
Given it sold for $5.8M two years ago and now $18.3M two years later, something is up. My guess is someone is starting to buy up several pieces of property into a larger single compound like Zuckerberg did in Palo Alto’s Crescent Park several years ago.
