It has been a big week for listings in La Canada real estate, typical of this time of year. We have had 12 new listings:
Hilldale is a good condo alternative. Mellow is a great price for a 3 bedroom on a quiet street. It has good living areas and an open kitchen. I've heard that they had multiple offers by caravan Tuesday. Beulah is not available for showings until Sunday so I have not seen it, but I LOVE the location and think it is a great price. Susie Goddard will have that open on Sunday from 2-5. Knight Way is re-listed by MacGregor for $24,000 less than the old Re/Max asking price. We'll have to see what the market will bare. 4855 Grand is my listing and my unbiased opinion is that it is a fabulous home. Truly turn-key in that everything has been redone or replaced. I'll be there Sunday 2:00-5:00 with the Mocha Kiss iced coffee bar. I have not seen Alcorn as it has not caravaned yet. Chehelem is a re-list with the same agent. I haven't seen Harter either so I cannot comment. Hill street is in front of Doug Drummond's listing and that is all I can say about it. Berkshire is also Doug's and is an incredible property. I have not been inside the house but it is clearly a land sale for someone who desires to build an estate. Flintridge is one of those properties that comes along every decade...a beautiful remodeled classic home on and acre and half. The guest house is charming and the grounds are amazing.
We had no homes go into escrow this week. Leads me to believe that we will have several next week because I know of a few that are in negotiations and this is the prime buying season, even in this market.
We did have 4 La Canada home close escrow:
The most notable was Alveo. Darling home on a great street. It needed a bit of cosmetic upgrades but the house was in overall good condition.
As I write my 4 year-old son is in his room crying for me. It's way past his bedtime (9:51) and he sounds like a slowly leaking balloon, hanging on but loosing steam. It is a battle fought nightly, as he is convinced he needs less and less sleep than the average preschooler. I, on the other hand, need more sleep than the average mother of a preschooler so we have reached an impasse. "I wan youmama...I waaannnyouuuu..."is what I can hear right now. I suppose I deserve this, given that I gave in last night and let him watch the Disney Princess Cake Food Network Challenge with me at 9:15. But he is slowing down. I can hear the last gasps of alertness. No words are emanating from under his door now. He is reduced to moaning. I'm holding my breath..."Mooooommmmy!" Nevermind. I'm going in. Please call me if you have any questions about real estate.
