Shake and Bake

A week ago these sellers had no expectation of moving any time soon, and certainly hadn’t done anything to prepare for sale. But we found the right house to buy, if we can only sell this one.

Let’s get on it!

Tuesday and Wednesday the ceilings were scraped, re-textured, and painted. Thursday and Friday the walls and kitchen were painted (two coats) and the bathrooms were tuned up. The painters stayed until 11pm last night, and came back early today to finsih it off.

Buyers started arriving at 11:45!

Here’s the play by play:

We already received one full-price offer, and others are interested. Richard will be there 12-3pm on Sunday!

Carlsbad Affordable

Here’s our first listing of 2019 that is undergoing a full tune-up in time for open house this weekend – we can move quick but not in a hurry! (John Wooden)

On Sunday we won a bidding war between contingent offers, and one of the stipulations was to get this home on the market by today!

LP = $499,000.

Open 12-3pm Saturday & Sunday!

An affordable way to buy a quality one-story home in Carlsbad! Located at the end of the drive with tranquil views over the valley, this upgraded townhouse has the entire living area at the entry level (2brs&2ba), with only the loft being upstairs and nicely converted into third bedroom. New paint, newer dual-pane windows, central A/C, 2-car side-by-side garage, and one of the largest yards with plenty of privacy! Every comp in Tamarack Point over the last 12 months was higher priced – nice deal!

First Market Test of 2019

I went to the grand opening today of these $2,000,000 tract homes and thought because of the rain that I might be the only one there. Wrong! There were hundreds of people – and this isn’t Carmel Valley – not even close:

Hat Advice

I’d like to think that Kayla has had the best upbringing of any realtor because she got to hear the sage advice from Doug Harwood – here we are in July, 2014 but his thoughts might be even more relevant today:

Repair and Discount

An example of how fragile the market can be these days.

This deck was over-engineered with permits to provide maximum stability for a house that had one minor crack in a foundation block over the last 43 years. Yet it still took a significant discount to procure a sale:
