As I mentioned in the last Market Trend Report, there are many buyers looking to purchase a home. The low inventory is making it very challenging for many first time home buyers, especially dealing with multiple offer situations and competing with all cash buyers. I recommend working with your Realtor in writing a strategically prepared offer. Lastly, make sure you have a homebuyer’s consultation. The education you obtain from the usually free, no obligation, consult will allow you to make smart decisions and eliminate surprises during the escrow period.

Come be romanced by this 1928 authentic Spanish Revival 3-story home. Set at the end of a cul-de-sac, down the flowered drive past the bubbling fountain, you are drawn into the 2-story entry way, with its old-world charm of a coffered ceiling, crystal chandelier and hand wrought iron railings. Captivating details continue in the step-down formal living room with grand arched windows, plastered crown molding and original fireplace. Be delighted by the adjoining balcony as the perfect place for outdoor dining while hearing the soothing sounds of cascading water from the nearby koi pond. Enjoy mountain views from the formal dining room. You'll be tempted to cook in the large eat-in kitchen designed for entertaining. Venture upstairs to find 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, balcony off the master. Downstairs: a family room, bath, large laundry room, library and spacious game room, (or home offices). Beautiful tile throughout. A long back driveway parks many cars below a canopy of oak trees. Take pleasure in the serene courtyard-like setting that surrounds the pool, with tile mural. Cross the generous bridge that spans a river rock drainage channel, no longer in use, to the lush resort-like yard, that feels like an acre, with outdoor kitchen. Thoughtfully updated.
