MP I am not sure, but knowing Oakland somewhat, I would not say that place is in a neighborhood  that brings the higher prices. I suspect higher prices would be in areas like the hills,  Crocker Highlands/Trestle Glen, Montclair (or is Montclair in Berkeley?). Maybe something of a crime issue too. Perhaps not a huge crime problem, but something possibly worrisome to a prospective purchaser.Also, though it looks well maintained,it may not have the most up to date kitchen and bathroom finishes, as demanded by people who watch HDTV. In the olden days that would have been fine as most people wanted and were prepared to renovate for their own needs and taste. Nowadays, home buyers, esp. younger ones, don't have 100-150k in cash to do what they want. They are financing so much and have little cash so they want to buy things already done over  to their taste and included in the mortgage, leaving them to have to do only minor  changes
