San Francisco's housing market is so dire that this once tiny home built out of desperation after the 1906 earthquake for $50 is now selling for $2.5 million. Take a look inside. The 2,155-square-foot home at 31 Romain St. in San Francisco, California, is on the market for $2.5 million. It's one of the city's remaining "earthquake shacks" built as temporary housing units after the 1906 earthquake and fires that left 250,000 residents homeless. The once tiny homes, now spread across the city, usually sell in the $1 million range. In a hot real estate market like San Francisco's, it's not unusual for homebuyers to cough up the price for historically relevant (see: older) homes before shelling out even more for repairs and renovations. But this one has already undergone a complete renovation, rendering the $2.5 million price tag more reasonable. The home's listing agent, Joanna Rose with Redfin, told Business Insider that when the owner first bought the home, it lived up to its "earthquake shack" name. Now it's a contemporary masterpiece.

lol what a dumb article. Who cares about its history? That house looks great and looks like it has plenty of space (3bd + 3ba) and it has an awesome view. $2.5m seems fine.
Yes!!! I was like dam I wish I had the money...
It’s a pretty cool house actually. Headline seems a bit click baity.
Wait so a 3 bedroom newly renovated house with a backyard and great views in San Francisco is expensive? This tech bubble is crazy!
It's an updated house and isn't in the same condition as the photo... Also bulk of that value is the land.
Only rich people are allowed to buy homes in SF. Soon you need double tech income to make it there
Prop 13 and rent control have a lot to do with this.
