Capitol Trade Group Meeting

Sandy Vickrey — Thu, 20 May 2010 04:56:41 +0000

I attended the Capitol Trade Group monthly meeting today in Sacramento. I love these guys. We are a group of Realty World franchise owners who meet once a month to promote our area in real estate and brainstorm. Today we discussed the rally we attended in Stockton last month sponsored by Realty World Corporate. They had 4 wonderful speakers which inspired us all. We especially liked Shannon King who shared all her ideas on the latest techno things available to make our lives easier without spending much money. We also discussed short sales and foreclosures. Looks like I have some home work to do.

Positas Road, Winters, closed on Wednesday, April 21, 2010, two days ahead of time! Positas Road is located West of town, just west of where Pleasants Valley Rd meets Highway 128. It is a small private road with about 10 parcels and awesome views. I am sure the new owner will love it up there. The house was 1304 square feet with 3bedrooms and 2 baths and was built in 2001. It sold for $392,000. with a $3000. credit to the Buyer in lieu of any repairs. That is a very nice comparable sale for everyone.

Hope to see you all tomorrow at Youth Day.

30321 Positas Rd is Pending!

It has been a busy week. Positas Rd had two really good offers on it and the sellers finally picked one of them. This home has a beautiful view and I hope the new owner will love it as much as the current owner does. Have a great weekend and enjoy this gorgeous weather we are having.

Progress report in Winters

Well, let’s start with the knee. We have just completed week one. John still hurts and can’t understand why he has to do his exercises. Told him if he doesn’t, he won’t get his mobility back. Bitch.

On the real estate front, Dave and I finally sold 309 Edwards Street! We put this puppy pending last August. Think this is my longest career escrow! Sure hope so. The property was a 3/2 manufactured home. The key word here is "manufactured". That kind of home has its own set of lending rules. We all learned more that we ever want to know about manufactured home on this one. I am so happy for both the Buyer and the Sellers to finally get this done. I want to thank them both for hanging in there on this one! Did I mention the sales price was $114k? Simply amazing as Huell Houser would say.

Finally, we have a new listing in the office! Yeah! It is a nice 4/2 single story in the new subdivision across from St. Anthony’s center. I can hardly wait to show it. I really like this floor plan. List price is $274+-. Shouldn’t last long.

New SOLD comparables

There were two new SOLD comparables in Winters in January. The first one is 1030 Kennedy which was a 3/2 around 1250 square feet and it sold for $209,900, cash. The second house that sold was 114 Riverview Ct. That house was a large home on a large lot built in the mid 70’s . It had four bedrooms and a nice loft upstairs. The master was downstairs, always a plus. It sold for $303,000.

Two new sales in Winters

Sandy Vickrey — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 16:30:08 +0000

Well just in time for Christmas we had two new nice sales in Winters. The first house is at 313 Village Circle and sold for $300. on Friday, December 18. The second house was a short sale at 717 Main Street and also sold for $300k. It was the former model home and had some nice upgrades. I think both buyers will be very with their new homes in the new year! Happy New Year everyone.

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.

Winters, CA market update

Sandy Vickrey — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 04:20:34 +0000

Well, it is Tuesday and that is the day of the week we update our listings. We come both the Solano County and the Yolo County MLS systems for listings. I know it is hard to believe but today there were only 2! Last week there were eight! Of the two listings one of them has two offers pending so it will be gone soon. There quite a few lisitings out in the country but the majority of those are over $500k. When a new listing comes on the market it goes quickly if it is priced right. It will l a great year number wise for sales. Who knows what next year will hold but in the mean time things are good.
