Oh wow. Looking at the pictures, the home is remodeled tastefully, located in a cal-de-sac, and 1-min walk next to the new elementary school and park (both important to starting families).
I guess for first time buyers, start look at condos or townhouses to get exposed to the local market — even homes in undesirable locations are being snapped up like hotcakes in this market, was hoping folks would leave those for first SFH buyers.
Which brings me to ask another question to those who are much experienced with the SD market. All things being equal, how much less should a Single Family House (SFH) be, each valued independently, versus a SFH which does not carry those unchangeable characteristics:
1) Next or close to a freeway (noise issue)
2) Located on a double yellow line neighborhood (traffic issue)
3) Zero lot line, red colored curb, in front of the house (no parking in front of the house)
4) No driveway (gotta use your garage for parking your car, lose storage use for garage)
I understand each person would value the above characteristic very differently based on their needs, just looking for some directional / general guidance.
