What is a fair price for Saratoga in CV?

[lepetitangel]

Thanks SD Realtor for your fair comments.

We saw another home in Bordeaux today and overall it’s a great house but asking for $950K (on Deer Park Way). We feel like it’s still over-priced and have no glue how to submit a low offer and expect the seller to accept.

Also how useful is zillow? We thought zillow usually over-estimates the houses’ values but it seems like zillow is giving me much lower price than what the seller is asking for.

Again this house we see on Deer Park Way is asking about $350/sqft.

My observations have been that in the 2500 sf range, the $350/ft is pretty much the market. It seems the stuff that more routinely goes for down towards $300/ft are some the larger homes. (the larger homes in Ashley Falls area come to mind.) There are some exceptions for particular neighborhoods. Like the Lago Di Grata area. Those two dogs (I guess SDR flipped one of them) in there seemed to bring down the prices. I have a friend that will be listing his momentarily, and he’s hearing about $30 less per sq/ft than he was expecting. And the tiny little San Raphael development next door is lower.

But without weird little exceptions, most of CV in the 2200 to 2800 size range are most always +- $350/sq ft, and often higher unless there’s something wrong with the property, like noise due to proximity to the freeway.

Am I wrong here?

(And I have no idea about the Saratoga development. I don’t know any of the development names. I’ve lived here almost 10 years and I don’t even know what development I live in. Probably Carmel something-or-other :))

I would agree with you SK in your analysis above. That dog treated us well though man… lemme tell ya. The previous owner was a total deadbeat, running a flower shop out of the home and his brother was the listing agent. Besides the tramps next door all the other neighbors were very happy with us buying the home but it took quite awhile to get the deadbeat out and plenty of dollars for lawyers.

***********

lepetit I will be pretty darn surprised if Deer Park gets 950k. Do not see it at all. Classic case of sellers in denial. Anyways comps in the subdivision seem to be sprinkled. One at 890k and one at 899k, one at 885k and one at 850k. and one at 830k. The one at 830k would most likely illustrate sdrs post. That was about being able to find a deal by being patient but acting fast when you need to, the buyer did have to overbid. That was a great deal ppsf wise at 315k.

Anyways you can have your agent write a lowball offer and shoot it in. Nothing ventured nothing gained right? The probability is high that the sellers will punt especially because the remarks indicate a contingency on the sellers finding a new home.

You are correct, that is pretty much the market. I’m not talking about meeting the market, I’m talking about beating the market. A well qualified buyer, who knows what they want and is patient can beat the market. I never said it was easy or that anyone could do it. In markets like that , you want to be that one. That is my point.
