Thanks for a glimpse into your home and neighborhood, patb. I’m a little bored of watching SD real estate, it is nice to spend some time thinking about another area for a change. You’ve got a great looking home there and you’ve done a fine job with the remodel.

As Jim the Realtor used to say (and probably still does), if in a month’s time you:

– are getting offers, you’re within 10% of the market price

– are getting people through but no offers, you’re within 20% of the market price

– are not getting any lookers, you are at least 20% overpriced

From personal experience and watching other properties, I think these are excellent yardsticks.

Fees/Freehold, OK/CA, garage/carport, good school/poor school, pool/no pool, the yardsticks above take all of that out of the equation and get directly to the point: how much cash are buyers willing to yank out of their wallet to buy your specific home?
