it's worth 400,000 but i've been surprised over things that have gone on over the last few months, stuff that i didn't think was going to go for what it did, did. >> the home will likely have to be completely rebuilt. realtors say the home would likely still cost less than buying a move-in ready home in the same area. you have to be up for the challenge. >> there you go. prime land, i guess. still ahead on "today in the bay," a crucial victory at candlestick park, the niners keep their hopes of winning their division alive for another week. what the players say made a huge win sweeter. >> every win for the 9ers is crucial. we're looking toward the bay and a smooth drive over the san mateo bridge. some issues on the peninsula side and also the east bay.
