Blogging fatigue.

I must admit, my blogging enthusiasm got lost.  Plain old writer’s block, I guess. Or a lack of inspiration. I became another statistic in the blogosphere. Tragic.  So much to say, particularly in this market, yet poof…gone when the laptop turns on. Even my top 5 became a challenge.

Well, I’ve heard enough from the peanut gallery so I’m  back. The top 5 will resume next week along with more in the way of content.   Frankly, I’m not all that keen on wordpress so if you have suggestions, I’m ready to hear them.

Top 5 Real Estate Buys Week of September 1, 2008

Hi there! Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday weekend. School’s strating and it’s back to business. There’s alot of inventory to be had right now and fall is approaching. Sellers don’t want to be on the market through the Holidays. So if you’re serious about making a purchase (bank owned properties in the lower-end micro-markets in the County are moving  especially fast right now), get on it! You have the advantage. Here’s the week’s Top 5. Have a great week!

1) 231 Windsor Drive San Carlos. This is a lot of house for $799,000 in San Carlos. Great street in woodsy Devonshire canyon.  It’s a 3/2 with great bones, hasn’t been on the market in 50 years. Well taken care of.  Talk about tree equity! This is a great buy; you already know how great the San Carlos schools are and this neighborhood is well over $1 million in the way of comps.  Listed by Ellen Scardigli of Cashin Company.

2) 318 San Carlos Avenue, Redwood City. This is one of those first time buyer dreams come true. AT this price you can skip the condo and go straight to a single family home.  This is a wonderful neighborhood just off of Woodside Road. The home is a 2/1 (and a small interior square footage of 780), nicely maintained and move-in ready. You can even walk to most of your shopping destinations and there are parks close by. The lot is under 3,000 square feet. It’s a short sale subject to lender approval. At $499,999, it’s definitely worth considering. COndos can be higher, and a lot more difficult to sell down the road. Listed by Raul Vildivia of Hogares Realty.

3) 2880 Hosmer Street, San Mateo. This is a bank-owned property and it’s really a great deal. 9,000 square foot lot, pool, 3/2. 1500 square feet. Interior needs an update but the amount of home you’re getting for the price is  pretty remarkable.  $649,000. Located close to the Foster City border. Listed by Alex Lehr of Lehr Real Estate.

4) 916 Timothy Lane, Menlo Park. This is a fantastic home with character built in 1939. Located in Flood Park, a very well-established neighborhood west of 101 and one of the last affordable areas left in Menlo Park. It’s priced VERY well at $899,000. The neighborhood comps are higher and will continue upward as more of these homes are bought & remodeled. Menlo Park Schools also buoy value as I always tell you. It’s a 3/2, 1440 square feet, with a generous, tree-studded 7,000 square foot lot. This is a winner; go see it. Listed by Arn Cenendella, Coldwell Banker.

5) 2947 San Juan Boulevard, Belmont. This home is in need of some updating, no doubt. But at this price, you can afford it. The home is move-in ready (you’ll want to do the bathroom first), 3/1, 1010 square feet. Expansion is possible and the lot is fantastic. Woodsy street in the canyon of the Belmont hills. Great school district and the elementary school is very close by. Lot is 6745 square feet. Mature oaks everywhere. Great investment; neighborhood comps at well over $200k higher. Listed by Haifa Khoury at Re/Max Today.

Top 5 Real Estate Buys in San Mateo County, week of August 18,2008

Hi, gang. here is the week’s Top 5. Hope you enjoy them. Lots of good property to choose from throughout the market these days. Summer’s going to be over soon and sellers seem to  in a VERY negotiable mind set. So for those buyers who are being passive…STOP IT! If a home is listed too high (and those on this list are not…that’s why I include them here), talk to a trusted real estate professional about the realities of the neighborhood’s numbers and it’s nuances. Then MAKE AN OFFER! I’m here to help if you need me. As always, have a great week. Oh, and so long Bay Meadows. we’ll miss you.

1) 1636 Maddux Drive, Redwood City. This home is beautifully remodeled, in a wonderful neighborhood, and sits on a big, inviting 10,000 square foot lot. White picket fence included! It’s a 3/1 (you could add a bathroom later if you needed to). Interior square footage is 1020 (feels bigger), and the improvements have been done well. This neighborhood comps MUCH higher and is VERY popular among buyers. The list price of $819,000 makes this home even more inviting. It will sell fast so go see it.  Listed by Liz Daschbach of Cashin Company.

2) 2743 San Carlos Avenue, San Carlos.  OK, when you drive by this one don’t laught at me. It’s a junker. But there’s some good investment return there! This is a bank owned property, listed at essentailly dirt value. It’s on a nice sized lot in San CArlos where schools are excellent and your real estate investment is secure; especially at this price, $629,900. If you are a contractor or a buyer with a contractor, ready to do a remodel, get on it! There will be a few offers submitted on this one. Listed by Michael Ames, Patriot Properties.  

3) 1134 North Court, Belmont. This home is a generous 1400 squre foot 3 bedroom/2 bath. The interior is a bit dated and, well, there’s really nothing architecturally exciting about it. BUT, it’s in Belmont, a great community with great schools and stable  property values, and it sits on a fantastic 11,000 squre foot lot. The list price of $745,000 makes this an absolute steal. Comps in this neighborhood are at least $200,000 higher. Check it out. Listed by Samira Chaloub of Re/Max Dolphin.

4) 1969 Palm Avenue, San Mateo. This is a post WWII bungalow style home with a bit of charm! Kitchen’s been remodeled and there’s some great interior & exterior updates that have been added. Needs a little love, though. It’s a short sale, priced at $599,995, in a neighborhood with an average sales price of over $850,000. And  no, you wouldn’t need to put much money into it. Great neighborhood, popular among young families for years. Listed by Steve Mogavero of Intero.

5) 251 Hedge Road, Menlo Park. This one made the list last week, but it’s such a great deal, it’s going on again. Seriously, people. Are you paying attention? Flood Park is a great neighborhood with nothing but upside, especailly if you get in at this price. Menlo Park Schools, in this case Encinal, ensure your investment.  It’s already updated where it counts (ok, the colors could use a change), but who cares! Have fun with the paint after you take advantage of one of the best buys in Menlo Park. Listed at $739,000 by Mary Tan, Coldwell Banker.

Top 5 real Estate Buys in San Mateo County, week of August 11, 2008

1) 370 Hillview Avenue, Redwood City (Mt. Carmel). This is a  bank-owned property (still somewhat rare for this neighborhood). Not much from the outside; paint is dated, iron fence is a bit….tacky, but it’s on a huge lot, has some 1920’s charm and it’s on a FANTASTIC block. Get your contractor and make an offer becasue this will go FAST. The current home’s stats are almost irrelevent but here you go: 3 bed/2 bath, 1190 square feet. Lot is 9,000 (mature fruit trees, too). $635,900 (be pre-approved, have your deposit ready, and move fast… as with all bank owned properties). Listed by Bruno Baldini, Century 21. 

2) 3901 Christian Drive, Belmont. This home needs some more updating, but at this price you could likely afford it and see a nice return on your investment should you ever decide to sell. Belmont schools are all good and resale is a snap. Located up Ralson, close to the intersections of 92 & 280. It’s a spacious 3/2 of 1660 square feet. 6633 square foot lot. Nicley maintained and move-in ready. Cute! Listed at a very competetive $899,000 by Scott Miller, brokerage unknown (from the 408 area).

3) 727 East 5th Avenue, San Mateo. This is such a cute 1927 California bungalow in a great neighborhood adjacent to the new and exciting downtown San Mateo (seriously…go hang out there sometime). Neat as a pin, 2/1 1190 square feet with a lot just shy of 6,000 square feet. Nicely landscaped, remodeled kitchen. Great home. Listed at $685,000 (nice) by Rip Miller of Alain Pinel.

4) 251 Hedge Road, Menlo Park (Flood Park). This is one of Menlo Park’s oldest neighborhoods and it’s enjoying a rennaisance. Older homes being bought up quickly and remodeled. Throw in the outstanding Menlo Park school district, and you’ve made a VERY smart real estate investment. This home is move-in ready and well-maintained. Slightly dated cosmetically but who cares at this price. Its a spacious 3/1 rancher with a nice 5500 square foot lot. Listed at $739,000 (you better hurry), by Mary Tan of Coldwell Banker.

5) 2621 Hopkins Avenue, Redwood City (Mt. Carmel). Lots of great buys in this neighborhood lately; this one is no exception. It’s a 1940 classic stucco home, lots of original detail, at 1280 square feet. 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths. Tons of character you can play upon and owned by the same family for 50 years.  The best part is the 7500 square foot corner lot. Located within walking distance from Stafford Park, and if you are not familiar with the charm & popularity of this neighborhood, take a drive around. It’s a mid-Peninsula favorite. Listed at $725,000 (wow…) by Jamie Jones of Intero.

Top 5 Real Estate Buys in San Mateo County week of August 4, 2008

Hey everyone! Here’s this week’s Top 5. I’m getting some great feedback about this list, including agents who want to be included. Please note, that I choose these properties based upon my own expertise in market valuation (I’ve been issuing valuations to the banks since 2004, as well as working with buyers & sellers). I don’t use it as a tool to advertise my favorite colleagues.

Enjoy; feel free to contact me for more info or questions, and, as always, have a great week!

This one is no exception. It’s  a large classic California bunglaow built in 1925. 3/2, 1930 square feet (an addition was done about 30 years ago which is why the home is so large).

Top 5 Real Estate Buys in San Mateo County, week of July 28,2008

 

Hey I’m back. Had to take a week off. Did you miss me?  Here are this week’s Top 5. Remember, this is just my opinion based upon the investment potential. I perform price evaluations for several  of the banks on a weekly basis so I am VERY aware of comps & current values up and down the Peninsula and in all of its’ micro-markets.  And if it seems that many of them are fixers…well, they are. On the Peninsula, that is where your investment return will materialize at the moment. I’m here to help if you have questions or need assistance. Have a great week!

1) 1817 Hopkins Avenue, Redwood City (Mt. Carmel). Hurry if you want a shot at this one. It is a rare REO (bank sale…not a short sale) in one of Redwood City’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Listed at $819,000. That’s low. It’s a 3/2 classic California Bungalow built in 1925. Lots of great architectural detail. Lot is a large 8255 square feet. Hopkins is a little busy but that does not usually deter buyers in this neighborhood. Listed by Michael Ames, Patriot Properties. 

2) 1525 Greenwood Avenue, San Carlos.  The White Oaks neighborhood never loses any steam and this property is priced really well. It’s a 1030 square foot 2/1 (yes, it’s small but that’s how this neighborhood is…most folks add on later), with a 5040 square foot lot. Great location, walk downtown, walk to White Oaks Elementary. Kitchen & bath have some updates and the place is cute as a button. Listed at a very competative $759,000 by Eddie Azzopardi of Realty World.

3) 50 16th Avenue, San Mateo. Hayward Park is such a cool neighborhood. Older homes, lots of character in the architecture. This one just got a price reduction and it’s a great deal. 1922 bungalow, 2/1, 1010 square feet. Expansion ability on a 5880 square foot lot. Some mature trees dot the property and you can walk to San Mateo’s booming downtown. This is a good one! Listed at $695,000 by Nathan Nunes, Prudential.

4) 1433 Sanchez Avenue, Burlingame. Listed at $1,099,000, this remodeled bungalow is really a good buy. Price just came down; go get it! It’s in the Easton Addition neighborhood which is HUGELY popular among buyers. A 2/2, 1590 square feet. REALLY cute; remodeled kitchen, lots of built in cabinetry & original detail from the 20’s. The lot’s 4,00 square feet, small, but typical for the neighborhood. Comps are always high here.  Listed by John Clifford of Clifford Real Estate.    

5) 3808 Vineyard Drive, Redwood City (Farm Hill Estates). This is a nice big split level home in the hills. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, hardwood floors, meticulously maintained. Also has a huge lot of almost 8,000 square feet. Move in and do some updates. You’ll be glad you did. This is a great neighborhood and Roy Cloud School is the best. Ask any Redwood City parent. Great investment potential. Listed really well at $998,000 by Phillip Watson of Prudential.

Top 5 Real Estate Buys in San Mateo County week of July 14, 2008

 

Hi guys! Here’s this week’s top 5. By the way, I have to comment on how sales activity has suddenly come to life…buyers finally seem to be getting off the proverbial fence. Glad to see that. Lots of good inventory out there. These are my current picks. As always, if you need more information on these or any other properties on the Peninsula, I’m here to help.

1) 1620 Cordilleras Road, Redwood City (Emerald Hills). This is a recently remodeled rancher and the owner did a great job. 2008 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. 10,000 square foot lot with a pool and cute cabana in back. The price is excellent $1,350,000. I sold a home just up the street a few months ago  for much more and the comps in this neighborhood are unbeatable. great buy. Listed by Glenn Sennett, Coldwell Banker. 

2) 1024 Northwood Dr. San Carlos. This is a chance to get into San Carlos for less than many condos. And it’s a great neighborhood. Many San Carlos families have started here. Located in Laureola (East side of San Carlos) it’s a 1948 Murphy home (a style popular in the post WWII era..cement slab; no termites)! A 2/1, 820 square feet with a big lot and mature trees.  The San CArlos schools will always ensure your investment. Skip the condo…listed by Claudette Wood of Alain Pinel.

3) 156 27th Avenue, San Mateo. Listed at $775,000 this is a good opportunity in a well established neighborhood of San Mateo. A generous 1680 square feet, 3/3 with a lot of 6600 square feet. You can really turn this into something great. Not much to look at now, but such  are the opportunities in Peninsula real estate. Listed by Jerry Girouard of Girouard Properties.

4) 2000 Valparaiso, Menlo Park. This has made the list before…so let’s try it agian! Hellooo? This is a coveted Menlo Park neighborhood and  many comps are considerably higher. What are you waiting for? It’s fully remodeled. 1120 square feet, 3/1 and a spacious lot over 8,000 square feet. You can always add a bathroom. Really, $1,149,000 is a fantastic price. I can show you comps if you don’t believe me! Listed by Tom Le Mieux of Coldwell Banker.

5) 912 Larkspur Drive, Burlingame. This is a steal. I like this neighborhood; though some think it’s too close to Rollins Road….so let them miss out. $768,800 (nice) 2/1, 1160 square feet. You could add on; and you’re buying in Burlingame. Can’t really lose on this one. Listed by Gary Coulter of McGuire Real Estate.

Top 5 Real Estate Buys in San Mateo County week of July 7, 2008

I’m a day late, I know…thanks for the notes asking me where the heck this week’s picks are.  Glad to know you’re all coming back regularly! So here it is…enjoy. And remember, for more information on these or any Peninsula properties, or to view them, I’m here to help!

1) 2330 San Carlos Avenue, San Carlos. San Carlos Avenue has seen many home sales in the last several months. And even though it’s one of the busier streets in town, it’s become VERY popular among remodelers. This home is priced perfectly at $689,000 I think, and there’s nothing but upside in San Carlos. The schools continue to buoy value here. This one is 1020 square feet, 2/1 with an expansion-accomodating lot that is over 7,000 square feet. Move in ready, walk to the elementary, middle, AND high school (Carlmont) from this home.  Listed by David Young of Coldwell Banker.

2) 2787 Bristol Way, Redwood City. This 3/2 is a remodeler’s dream; 1390 square feet, a 6300 square foot lot, good bones, freshly painted, nicely maintained.  Move in ready, on a great street close to the Alameda. Was in contract but buyers couldn’t perform so it’s back on the market. Lucky for you!  At $825,000 you can’t do much better in this part of Redwood City. Listed by the Caton Team at Prudential in Redwood City.

3) 1055 Berkeley Avenue, Menlo Park. Flood Park, like the Willows, is a great neighborhood and still under $1 million to start. That will change soon enough. Values continue to appreciate west of 101; I price homes for the banks every week up and down the Peninsula, and this neighborhood is healthy. Eventually, all the original homes will be remodeled, but until they are, there are excellent deals to take advantage of. And, like San Carlos, the schools in Menlo Park are known to be outstanding.  This home is a post-WWII, 2/1 bungalow of 950 square feet. BUT the lot is over 10,000 square feet,  complete with mature trees. Quite an opportunity at $765,000. Listed by Athena Chilicas at Coldwell Banker, Woodside. 

4) 3212 Adelaide Way, Belmont.  A Belmont home with a flat lot? Believe it! This is a classic California rancher in an established neighborhood in the Belmont Hills. The schools are great in Belmont and values trend up here. It’s a 3/2, 1700 square feet on a 6,000 lot (did I mention it’s flat…)? The interior is a tad dated but that’s easy to change. Besides, keeps the price right at $1,039,000. Listed by Haifa Khoury at Re/MAX Today.

5) 3914 Leona Street, San Mateo. ok, THIS is a steal. Wooded lot, pretty generous floorplan (1300 square feet, 3 bedroom, 1.5 baths), and bay views. Located in Westwood Knolls (along the Alameda de las Pulgas, southwest of Hillsdale shopping center). Listed at $818,000. That’s a great price, people! Needs some updates but the sellers spent some money on new carpet, paint and countertops. The schools serving this neighborhood are Laurel Elementary, Abbott Middle, and Hillsdale High. All are excellent and will ensure your investment. Listed by Michael Young of Michael Young CO.

Top 5 Real Estate Buys in San Mateo County week of June 30,2008

There are some great real estate buys in San Mateo County right now. And at this point in time, buyers should  be very agressive in making offers!  Fence sitting is not wise and you could miss out.  Each week, I feature 5 properties that I think buyers should consider. They will not always be right for everyone, and I  try to cover several price-points and property types.  I  base my criteria on neighborhood comps & historical value trends, the neighborhood’s long-term investment potential, and the home’s long-term investment potential. Now more than ever, I encourage buyers to see beyond the obvious. Remember that neighborhood trends are changing, and “deals” are relative. The best “deals” are homes that need some improvement.  If you want a home that’s fully remodeled, you will pay top dollar! Remember, you can contact me if you need more information about these homes, neighborhoods and/or other available listings. It’s what I do…

1) 31 Kenton Avenue, San Carlos. This is a classic post WW II home on a woodsy street in San Carlos. These are the homes that sprouted up all over when San Carlos had it’s first real growth boom. 2/1 1020 square feet with a good size lot. You can expand and will likely want to. But  $675,000 in this neighborhood? That’s a FANTASTIC investment. Cute, clean, move-in ready. Update to your heart’s content.  Listed by Helen Cross of Coldwell Banker.

2) 1653 Carleton Ct. Redwood City. Woodside Plaza is and always has been, a great neighborhood. This listing is a deal. $819,995. Seriously, it doesn’t get better than that. The home is a 4/2 with 1460 square feet AND an ample lot at 6700 square feet. Kitchen is updated. The exterior is not much to look at but you’ll be adding your touches, anyway! Go see this one. Listed by Diane Rothe, Coldwell Banker.

3) 758 Arnold Way, Menlo Park. Ah, the Willows neighborhood. I love this area and it is  one of the last bastions of affordability in Menlo Park, west of 101. Homes here are being bouht & remodeled. Comps are well over $1 million and the Menlo Park schools will ensure your investment. The existing home is a 3/2, 1380 square feet. Generous 7,000 square foot lot. A smart buyer will scoop this up fast. Listed by David McKeever, Coldwell Banker.

4) 136 15th Avenue, San Mateo. If you like older homes with some architectural detail, here’s a good one for you. It’s a 1927 bungalow 3/1 1280 square feet. Beautiful hardwood floors and a nice sized lot you can work with. This neighhborhood (Hayward Park)is full of stunning remodels; one of my favorites. Drive around and take a look. Listed at &799,000 by Richard Williamson of Re/Max Today.

5) 108 Brook Street, San Carlos. This was the first street I lived on as a child in San Carlos and it’s still idillic. A cul-de-sac with an annual block party…what more could you ask for?  The home is a perfect starter and priced well at $729,000. 2/1, 770 square feet with expansion potential. White picket fence, rose garden, the works. Adorable. Listed by Janet Pepe Davis at Carlmont Associates.

The best “deals” are homes that need some improvement.  If you want a home that’s fully remodeled, you will pay top dollar! Remember, you can contact me if you need more information about these neighborhoods and/or their available listings. It’s what I do…

1) 1330 Hull Drive San Carlos. I’m not sure why no one is recognizing the value in this one. It’s on a street that’s full of remodels and the school is great.  A 3/3 at 1660 square feet, terraced decks in back; 6500 square foot lot. Bit of a view, too. It’s priced ok at $949,000 but it’s sitting. Comps are good here; appreciating, too.  So make an offer! Listed by Rebecca Ballesteros of Silicon Valley Capital.

2) 331 Lexington Way, Burlingame. This home has some great character, as most in this neighborhood do. Tree lined streets, lots of kids. Walkable to downtown Burlingame. $899,999; REALLY excellent pricing. It’s  a 3/1 (one baths were typical in pre WW-II homes; you can always add one), beautifully maincured yard. Go take a look at this one and buy in Burlingame…as you know, always a great investment. Listed by Mike Roberts at Coldwell Banker.

3) 170 Warren Road, San Mateo. A favorite neighborhood of home buyers for generation; San Mateo Park is beautiful. And home values are stable/appreciate year over year. This neighborhood is full of fantsatic homes from the  1920’s-1930’s with the kind of architectural detail that makes me swoon! This home is a good buy at $1,100,000 and has some amazing touches to work with. Move in ready, just needs your touches. 1500 square feet, 2/2, with a private yard, perfect hardwood floors, built ins…amazing.  Listed by Peggy Greene of Coldwell Banker. 

4) 508 ALameda de las Pulgas, Belmont. Yes, this house is on the Alameda, but it’s so charming and the lot is great at an ample 8,000 square feet. I think the price is pretty reasonable at $969,000. Moreover, I bet that price is a bit negotiable. It’s a 3/2 of 1500 square feet. Private feel and some great architectutral detail inside from 1941 when this neighborhood was the woods. I like it. Listedby John KIng at Keller Williams.

5) 920 Round Hill Road, Redwood City. OK, before you look it up I’m warning you…this one is all about the investment opportunity. It’s pink (likely grandma’s house), but it’s a nice rancher with good bones, 1600 square feet of remodel fun! And it’s the Roy Cloud School neighborhood so there’s your return on investment over time! Really, don’t let the pink paint throw you off. $998,000 is a good price and it’s been on the market for a bit so there’s some wiggle room, I would think. Listed by Marc Roos of Intero.
