Shiny Penny Tour Day - Our Best Homes of the Week

Shiny Penny Tour Wrap

 Our Tuesday tour day produced a few shiny pennies this week. In fact, two made our list for Best Deal of the Week.

The first is a short sale on Lyon in Belmont. It’s listed for only $759,000 and to be in the west-side hills location for that price is a good buy. Of course the banks still need to sign off on the offered price but if you can hang around for awhile you may be able to get that home. FYI—most lots on Monroe and Lyon are only 4,000 square feet rather than the usually 5,000.

 Here are some details:

Beds, Baths:	4, 2|1
SqFt:	1980 (Assessor)
Lot Size:	4,000 sq ft (Assessor)
Yr Built:	1962 (Assessor)
Age:	49 years

 

 

 

Our next home is a favorite of mine on Eaton in San Carlos. It’s sold before, in fact my old manager used to own it. I love the feeling—it’s like you are in your own private resort with a pool and palm trees. The rear landscaping is great and it backs up to the creek for even more privacy.

 

Don’t be fooled by the two bedroom listing. This home was a three bedroom with one room being converted to a den.

 

Beds, Baths:	2, 1|0
SqFt:	1620 (Assessor)
Lot Size:	8,476 sq ft (Assessor)
Yr Built:	1948 (Assessor)
Age:	63 years
Parcel #:	051-294-050
Zone:	R100
Tract:	White Oaks

Best Home Deals March 22, 2011

We’re excited to announce three “Best of Tour” homes from our Broker’s tour on Tuesday.

These homes represent homes we think offer a good value and should get snapped up quickly.

 BELMONT

There were two in Belmont we thought we’re an excellent value. The first one was at 3484 Lodge but since it already has three offers since Sunday’s open house we may as well skip that one. It was listed at $799,000 which is an ex excellent value for the West side.

 
 

The second Belmont home at 2223 Thurm listed by Better Homes and Gardens M. Smith. It’s located right on the border of San Mateo on a pastoral 13,000 square foot lot. The four bedroom three and one-half bath home is nicely appointed and at 2,714 square feet it’s a very good value too.

 

SAN CARLOS

 

We liked 132 Arundel. Looks like a nice move-in condition home with three bedrooms, two baths with 1, 390 square feet of living space on a nice sized 8,500 square foot lot. Listed by RE/MAX D. Roberts

 

1362 Geneva in the White Oaks is a three bedroom three bath home of 1,860 square feet on a tad bit small 4,040 square foot lot but this home looks great and should fly off the shelf. Listed by Coldwell Banker R. Jabeen

 

As always, if you want us to look specifically for the best of tour home for you drop us an email or connect with us and let us know what you’re looking for. We’ll be your eyes and ears on the peninsula.

 

Best Belmont Home of the Week 3.1.2011

Each week we try and give a nod to a deserving home we saw on Tuesday’s REALTOR tour.

We try and choose homes which are new on the market and are priced well for what they offer. To be exact, by "well" we mean these homes will probably not be around for a weekend open house, unless the seller holds out for multiple offers.

Sometimes the homes are bank owned and other times they are homes which have been meticulously cared for. We might even throw in a home which is just really cool but we’ll let you know if we think it’s well priced or not.

So today we acknowledge 932 Anita Avenue in Belmont presented by Coldwell Banker.

What makes this home stand out is the value—and it’s a nice home. Good area, some view, large yard, updated interior, cul-de-sac location and best of all priced at $1,088,000. There are probably agents who would have taken that listing for $100,000 more but we believe this home is spot on and should move quickly.

As always if you see a home--this one or any other that you’d like more information on--we’re here to help and just a phone call or email away.

Best Home of the Week - 1-25-11

Even though we had a normal week with no holidays, and the list of homes to tour this Tuesday was as thick as a phone book for a small town, there really weren't and stand-outs in Belmont. Don't get us wrong there were some nice homes but it appears as though sellers think the market rebounded over the holiday and priced their homes in the stratosphere.

We chose this home in San Carlos because it's reasonably priced, in apparently good condition and is located on a coveted street in the White Oaks.

If you'd like to see this home, be sure and give us a call (650) 508-1441

Best Home of the Week - 1-18-2011

Whenever a holiday falls on a Monday, many homes are not toured on our usual Tuesday tour day. Simply put they miss the tour sheet since the deadline is moved to the Friday preceding the holiday, instead of the usual Monday deadline.

So there weren’t a lot of homes to choose from but we did find this home in Redwood Shores which stood apart from the rest for the value it offers.

Best Belmont Deal of the Week 1.11.11

Tuesday is our tour day and this home was the best deal we found in Belmont. It's located in a GREAT area of Belmont with a nice micro climate. It's hard to beat the west side for $749,000. This home shouldn't last a week.

Belmont’s Best Deal of the Week—September 2nd 2008.

Belmont’s Best Deal of the Week—September 2nd 2008. This home just popped out at us as being one of the best deals we’ve seen in awhile. I'm a little skeptical about the reported square footage but it's still a good deal. Once in the home the upper level flows out to the rear yard and it's all level--a real plus in the hills. There's what is being called a permitted room and bath down in the garage making it a three bedroom if it's really permitted. Anytime a room opens into a garage it's not supposed to be a legal room (Uniform Building Code citing). It may have been permitted at one time, making it a legal non-conforming room. Oh and it had nice views too! 2014 LYON AV, Belmont 94002 (Belmont) $779,900 Beds: 2 bed(s) Baths: 2 bath(s) DOM: 6  CDOM: 6   MLS: 80830339  Property Overview 2014 LYON AV Belmont (Belmont) 94002 Detached Single Family (Class 1) Bed/Bath: 2 / 2 SqFt: 1,761 Lot: 4,000 sq ft Yr Built / Age: 1951 / 57 years Assoc Fee: List Price: $779,900 Sale Price: Sale Date: COE Date: Remarks This spacious approx 1761 sq. ft.
