Great video and story on Yahoo! today and the headline caught my attention…

Most Expensive Fish
A Tokyo market set a new record last month, selling a tuna for $396,000. The giant bluefin weighed 754 pounds…

So that got me thinking, this tuna is as big as a house and costs as much as a house…so what really gets you more, a bluefin or a house?

$396K house — Current Coldwell Banker Listing

So I did a comparison with the tuna against a $395,000 property in San Diego, CA…You decide for yourself.

Compare:	Fish	House
Location:	Pacific Ocean	Pacific Beach, CA
Beds/Fins:	2	4
Size:	12 sq. ft.	1,134 sq. ft.
Proximity to Water:	already in ocean	5 blocks to ocean
Represented by:	Tsukiji fish market	Darlene Allen Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

I vote the house, and I’m a big sushi lover. Sorry fish. San Diego is beautiful. I get a house and the water.

This is really a great scenario to showw customers. I like sushi also,but I think you'd get more use out of the house or condo.
