4/4/14 – AmCan Napa Tour Update

Great couple of days for touring in Napa and AmCan.  There were a few homes on the Napa Brokers Tour yesterday that really stood out:

• 60 Hoffman Ave – I absolutely fell in love with this home! Listed by Kelli Marchbanks with Coldwell Banker @ $399,000. 2 Bed,1 bath home @ 864± sqft. Massive yard with an artist studio and/or office – it has electricity running to it. Both the front and back yards are landscaped. The inside is light and airy with hardwood floors, and the kitchen has a gas range with breakfast nook. Close to Oxbow. It’s available to show from 2-6pm today (Friday) or there is a Public Open House on Sunday from 2-4pm.
• 441 Monroe St – I hate using the word charming, but it’s difficult to describe it any other way. Listed by David Hobaugh, also with Coldwell Banker for $429,000. 2 beds, 1 bath, 1,016± sqft. This home is ready for you to move in. Hardwood floors throughout. Quintessential downtown Napa home built in 1948, just a short walk to Fuller Park. This home is also open on Sunday from 1-3pm.
• 2952 Pinewood Dr – Single level, Browns Valley home! Listed by Melanie & Michael Mutters with Bradley Real Estate @ $550,000. This house feels much bigger than the 3 bed, 2 bath, 1600± sqft that it says in the tax record. Home is on a corner lot with updates throughout; has an open floor plan making it great for entertaining. This home shows really well and is open tomorrow (Saturday) from 3 – 5pm.

Today was tour day in American Canyon, and with tight inventory, it was good to see that there were 3 homes available to be shown today:

• 103 Reed Dr – listed by Kip Clark with Chatoff Properties @ $289000; 3 bed, 1 bath, 1024± sqft. Great location, close to shopping and Hwy 29. Perfect starter and/or investment property. It looks like there will be an open house this Saturday from 1-3pm.
• 26 Pelleria – Listed by Henny Gho with Eagle Vines @ $549,000; 5 bed, 3 bath, 2746± sqft. This is a short sale. This is in the Via Bellagio area. Close to the High School. Large home with open floor plan. Expansive back yard with lots of potential. Highlight has to be a wrap-around, walk-in closet.
• 98 Oakstone Way – Also Listed by Henny with Eagle Vines @ $579,000; 5 bed, 3 bath, 3003± sqft. Without a doubt, this my favorite home on the American Canyon tour today. It has a covered entry, office in the front to the left as you walk in. Open floor plan, wonderful backyard for entertaining complete with a built-in, wood burning fireplace that can moonlight as an over…or is it the other way around?? Sweeping master suite with jacuzzi tub. Around the corner from Silver Oak park, simply a gorgeous home.  I’m hearing that there will be an Open House this Saturday, but I have not been able to confirm that. This home is really worth the look.

As ever, if you are interested in seeing any of these homes just give me a call (707.853.0797). Most (but not all) of the homes need 24 hour notice.

1/9/14 – Napa Tour Recap

Happy New Year! The Napa tour was off to a great start today with a few unique homes that have either just come on the market or came on over the holidays. Even though it’s the first tour we’ve had in almost a month, with school still out for another week, a lot of the homes that we’ve been hearing whispers about in December will hopefully start to pop up.  Either way, there were a couple of homes that really stood out.

The first was 1720 Spruce Street (MLS# 21327236) listed by Cynthia Turnbow with Coldwell Banker – Brokers of the Valley at $503,000.  This is a 2 bed, 2 bath home at approximately 1133 square feet. The lot is about .15 acres and it has a second…something in the back.  It’s not exactly a second unit (no kitchen, bedroom, bathroom) but it is insulated and has a floor.  It makes for a great “man cave,” artist studio or even small office.  The home was built in 1950 and feels like it – in a good way.  The kitchen is a little small and the wood cabinets have a retro feeling, but all of that is part of the charm.  This is home is in one of my favorite parts of Napa, just off of Jefferson.  There is likely some imagination needed to make this your home (in particular the area right behind the garage) but I feel like this is a great price and great buy.

The other home that really struck me was 36 Miwok Ct (MLS# 21400196) listed by Aida Morgan with Coldwell at $765,000. 3 beds, 2.5 bath, 1953± square feet, sitting on 1/3± acre, this home has it all, but you really have to see it. Beginning with the brilliant blue front door, this home just welcomes you in. Off to the left is the main entertaining/family area with an open floor plan designed to keep people circulating. The fireplace in the family room faces the kitchen so even the chef can feel like part of the crowd. The bedrooms are modest and comfortable. There is a medium size pool and two large raised garden beds in the garden. Located in the desirable Browns Valley, this home just sparkles with anticipation at entertaining family and friends.

As always, if you’re interested in seeing these homes (or any others for that matter), or if you would like a free market analysis for your home, don’t hesitate to contact me: (707) 853-0797

September sees slow down in Real Estate Sales

The Napa Valley Register reported a slow-down in real estate sales for the month of September on Sunday.  Drawing from information found on Bay Area Real Estate Information Services (BAREIS), the Register reported a decrease in home sales from 155 to 139. In addition, there was a decrease in median sales price from $460,000 to $445,000.  Of particular interest, there is still extremely light inventory in the Napa Valley, which is still driving multiple offers on properties for sale.

In addition, there hasn’t been the traditional fall bump that the industry typically sees this year.  With interest rates as low as they have been, and the California Association of Realtors predicting a 1 percent increase in the coming 6-12 months, many in the industry see buyers coming back.  Most real estate experts expect rising home prices to continue over the next 2 years, although not as fast as it did in late 2012-2013.  The market has seen a stabilization in home prices over the last couple of months; coupled with historically low interest rates, this is a great time to buy.
