Today's riddle: What do you get when you cross an angry cow with an angry sheep? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Four-bedroom house in Saratoga goes for $4.7 million (mercurynews.com) — A four-bedroom home on Blythe Court in Saratoga just sold for about $4.7 million, or $1,745 per square foot, highlighting the city's still-hot housing market. Nearby recent sales on Glen Arbor Court, Veronica Drive, and Ione Court show similarly high prices, giving Saratoga homeowners and buyers a clear snapshot of current neighborhood values.
2. How much did the 10 most expensive homes sell for in South Bay, reported in the week of Aug. 3? (eastbaytimes.com) — Several Saratoga properties ranked among the South Bay's priciest recent home sales, including houses on Michaels Drive, Westview Drive, McCoy Avenue, and Verde Vista Lane closing between about $4.2 million and $5.4 million. With 128 regional sales averaging $1.9 million, these Saratoga deals underscore just how competitive and expensive the local market remains for buyers and sellers.
3. Review: Rock legend, now 82, still feisty, fun and totally unfiltered (keenesentinel.com) — Roger Daltrey's recent solo concert in Saratoga gave local fans a raucous, two-hour mix of Who classics, solo material, and sharp-tongued banter that felt very different from a standard arena show. At 82, his voice remained strong, the crowd handled the famous "Won't Get Fooled Again" scream, and his playful jabs at rock legends kept the Mountain Winery audience laughing.
4. As Netanyahu ally tours Bay Area, some Israeli expats push back (jweekly.com) — Ron Dermer, a close adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, recently spoke at Congregation Beth David in Saratoga, where about 15 Israeli expats protested outside with signs criticizing Israel's government. Their pushback reflects deep divisions in the Israeli community ahead of Israel's October election, with many Bay Area Israelis debating Dermer's role and even planning trips home to vote.
