Carol Lloyd’s Surreal Estate column on SF Gate today covers the world of predemolition sales.

“That’s right — this sale is taking place at a 4,000-square-foot home in Portola Valley, a sprawling 1950s ranch house that was remodeled only five years ago and slated for demolition this month. It features a gleaming granite and oak kitchen, hardwood floors, three new tile and oak bathroom vanities and old-growth redwood siding, among other things. And all of it — from the subfloor to the roof gables — is available at bargain-basement prices as long as you’re willing to write a check, rip the stuff out (or pay someone to do it) and cart it off.”

I guess this would appeal to the do-it-yourself-er in all of us…

The best part of the article is the list of recycled resources at the bottom. My favorite is Ohmega Salvage in Berkeley…
