Every year its the same thing. “December is a great time to buy”. How many times have you heard this one? Do you know why you hear it so often? BECAUSE its true!! Yes I know you have gifts on the brain and everything is just so stressful that you cannot imagine adding one more thing to your already overloaded list.Frankly, I don’t care how much you have to do. It istime to get over it and make a smart financial decision.By the time you get around to in 2011, interest rates will have gone up!
While I have your attention, here are a few that I highly recommend:
1) 6500 Hatillo, Woodland Hills. 4 bf, 3 bth, 1473 sq ft. $459,000
This one is a winner. Initially priced way to high at $499,000, this Mid Century remodeled home is totally move in ready. I like it because the floorplan is wide open and the vaulted ceilings make it feel bigger than the actual sq ft. I also love that 1 bd and 1 bth are on the opposite side from all the other bedrooms AND it has a private entrance . You could use this bedroom set up for a rental, personal office or play room for the kiddies. This is not a cheesy remodel –everything is tasteful and fits the house. The back yard is just OK–all grass and very private but nothing to write home about. Perfect for kids though. Also, the placement of the house is ideal–its in the middle of a small cul de sac . Very private. Seriously, at this price you are usually buying in Winnetka, so please get off your butt and see this one.
2) 20748 Burbank Blvd, Woodland Hills. 3bd, 2 bth, 1400 sq ft. $489,000. Pool.
I have included this one in previous posts, but I want to bring it to your attention again because they are still on the market. They did reduce to $489,000 but at this point they are “chasing the market”. Why do I like this house? First of all, IT IS NOT LOCATED ON A BUSY STREET –BURBANK HERE IS SMALL. Now that we have that out of the way, this house has a great open floorplan with a living room and a small family room off the kitchen—typically not something you can get in this price range or sq ft. The house is updated ( although does not currently show well due to owners personal issues). This is the typical 1400 sq ft Carlton Terrace model with vaulted ceilings, fireplace and a master suite with big walk in closet and private bath. The back yard is all pool –but it is super private. The front yard is fenced, gated and has a flat grassy area . Perfect for a kid’s play set etc. At this point, the seller is pretty anxious, so check it out before the new year.
Happy Holidays to all!
