This is the US version of Switzerland...its a great place...period...unfortunately...only for the wealthy......
Is that an Apple Tv built into the wall.
$11,995,000
What a douchebag (Eddy Cue), why not $12,000,000.
I really don't get that $5000 lower than 12M, there's no reason.

That's how pricing often works in real estate (and even beyond)?Is that an Apple Tv built into the wall.

Pretty common in the US. It is referred to as "odd pricing" or "just-below" pricing. There are all kinds of psych studies showing it works. That is why you often see products in the stores priced at $3.98 or $10.99 for example.
I understand it works for "cheap" items like food, not for expensive houses like this one.
I should have qualified that with in US at least.

It's like that for everything essentially. Just a standard/mentality type of thing when it comes to pricing (high or low) in most instances. Even gas (as in gasoline) goes for let's say $3.29 and 9/10 per gallon, I mean it's not just 29 cents, but 29.9 cents, and yet they still won't just call it 30.
Gasoline is something else, same here.
Food too is different, sometimes a supermarket has only cents profit on items, I understand the pricing there but not for very expensive items like boats/cars/houses.
Similar type of mentality basically. Someone seeing $1,995,000 gets a somewhat different initial emotional reaction than if they see $2,000,000, even though they are effectively the same essentially. Similarly it can also can help get the house in front of people's eyes as some will have searches set up with an upper limit, so let's say using that previous example, those who have a search of up to $2 million might not be shown the listing that starts with a 2 (or more).
It's not really to say that it's somehow more "correct" or "best" or anything like that, more that it's just how it's often done (again, at least in US, or California at least) and that in some scenarios there can be some reasoning that can apply to it, even beyond the "it's just how it's usually done".
It's just one colour after a bushfire.
Not my taste either, but I must say they did a nice (expensive) job.
Fits in well in the surrounding area.
Lake Tahoe was absolute heaven last time I went. 32˚F, a decent blanket of snow everywhere except on the roads.

It's not! I only went here for hiking day and night and driving around. Also, they somehow have good Mexican food, unlike the entirety of the Bay Area (yes including Mission in SF).
I don't know, as someone in their early 20s, the Ponderosa was my first thought too.
I'd draw from the landscape. There's more than just dreary browns out there. It's a stunning setting.

"cheap" and "expensive" are relative terms. One man's expensive is another man's cheap. Where you might see something for sale for $20 or even $200 as "cheap" another guy might see something for $20,000 or $200,000 the very same way.
Beautiful looking location, but... I’d probably have to bulldoze the house and start again!
