Well there are two new listings around $220k and less in Winters. The first is owned by my friend and located right across the street from the high school. The spent all of last week painting and installing new pergo and carpet. He also planted new lawn in the backyard so it is all fixed up now. It is a 3/2 with a one year old HVAC system. I hpe this sells quickly for him. The other house in on Edwards Street over by Waggoner School. I am sorry to say I have not been in this one yet. I have seen it in years past but not lately. That is on e my to do list. I like to make sure taht I go in every house that is listed in Winters. I will keep you posted.

Cheap, cheap, cheap is gone, gone, gone!

Well the listing on Jefferson sold for cash. I don’t know the sales price but I do know it is pending. It really needed a lot of work and cash was the best bet. The previous owner had removed a lot of the sheet rock, looked like they might have been thinking of doing some rewiring. The kitchen was also a do over as they say. The nice thing was that the other houses on the street had been updated and really look nice. I am sure all the neighbors will be thrilled when this house is fixed up. This should help their value.

Whoa! Have you been waiting to buy an investment property for under $100K?! Well, here is your opportunity. 808 Jefferson just came on the market and is definitely a project. Some of the sheet rock has been removed and I would suggest you do some rewiring. This is a home for a conventional buyer as there is no stove and there are a lot of holes in the walls and work to be done, be sure to bring your tool box. The first thing would be to secure the house as not all the doors close. If you have been looking for a great investment buy, here you go! Give me a call at 530-681-8939.

From tsunami to snow in California!

Tuesday night I came home and turned on the news and found out about the tsunami in Samoa and that there was a tsunami watch for the entire coast of California! Yes, all those images came back of the tsunami that hit Indonesia back around New Year’s a few years ago. So, I immediately called my son, Jack, who lives in Monterey a few blocks from the ocean. He and his buds had already been down to the beach to check out the wave action. Had to tell him the activity wasn’t going to get much bigger until 9PM. Then at 10:45pm that night the phone rang. No one calls me at that hour except my daughter, Devon! She goes to school at Sierra Nevada College at Incline, NV. She and her friends were at school working on a paper and it had started snowing! Can you imagine, Sept 29 and the first snow. She was very excited. So that is what is happening on the east and west coast of California at the end of September. Now we are on to October, happy first of the month!
