There are 121 active listings in La Canada. 6 of them are new:
4393 Chevy Chase last sold in 1993. It is in a good location on a nice lot. The house will be open Sunday from 1:00-4:00. 4947 Revlon last sold in 2006 for $885,000. It is on a corner so the yard is on the small side. 348 Baptiste was leased last year for $3600 and is now on the market for sale. It backs up to the water company. 1703 Verdugo last sold in 2003 for $775,000. It is a lovely home on a nice lot. The challenge is the location. 549 Paulette is completely renovated with views. The only drawback is the steep driveway, but it is definitely worth seeing. I shows beautifully and all of the finishes add to the charm. It is a one level home with a finished basement. The large backyard features a pool. The house will be open on Sunday from 2:00-4:00. 463 Richmond is one that has been off and on the market. It last sold in 2004 for $1,850,000. It was listed in January 2008 for $2,695,000. Then it was put up for lease. It didn't lease. It was staged and re-listed with another agent for the same price. It was finally pulled off the market last July. It is now on again for $300,000 less. We will see if the new price overshadows the location behind commercial buildings on Foothill.
3 homes went into escrow this week in La Canada:
4453 Rosebank last sold in 2006 for $669,000. It took 2 weeks to sell at the new low price. 1050 Stratford was listed in 2003 and again in 2004 for $1,475,000. It did not sell then. This time around, it came on at an incredibly aggressive price ($323 per square foot!) and had 16 offers. It is in escrow well over the asking price. 4536 Rockland sold as unfinished, bank-owned construction in 2008 for $520,000. It was completed and listed in March for $1,295,000. They had one reduction before going into escrow.
2 homes closed escrow this week in La Canada:
5055 Westlope was listed at the end of March and sold quickly. It just closed over the asking price. 5444 Castle Knoll is a lovely renovated home that was originally listed for $1,675,000. It reduced once and sold for the new price.
Things are slowing down as we head into summer. Houses that do not sell will either reduce or go off the market until fall when sales volume historically picks up again. Next week, we are adding a new feature to the blog...a printable open house list sorted by location to make your Sunday home touring easier. Have a wonderful weekend...
