So why did this home sell for so much over asking when other similar homes languish on the market or sell for less?
Its not about finding EVERY buyer. It’s about finding the RIGHT buyer. So who was the most likely buyer for this home? It wasn’t downsizing Seniors…why? because it was two story and there was no bedroom on the first floor. It wasn’t a buyer concerned with Feng Shui because the front door opened right onto a stair case. It wasn’t for a buyer who wanted a pool. It wasn’t for the mid-century lover: this is a timeless Monterey Colonial with a traditional feel It wasn’t for a buyer looking for the open concept. It’s about identifying the special attributes that would appeal to buyers and make them stand out. |
It was perfect for buyers looking for the excellent South Pasadena school district.
It was for buyers looking for a totally fenced in yard, offering privacy and a safe play space for children or pets. It was for buyers with a need for the newly finished ADU with a brand new kitchen and bath. It was perfect for buyers who needed a separate home office with a private entrance. It was perfect for buyers who needed a separate space for visiting relatives. Separate 3 car garage! Car buffs anyone??? The main house with 2628 sf offered 3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms with extra 432 SF in detached ADU. |
