Mid-Peninsula Open Houses: February 9/10

Open House season is starting to ramp up, now that the holidays and Super Bowl have danced their last dance. I found almost 40 open houses being held in Redwood City this weekend, and I am sure that is not the whole picture. San Carlos and Belmont are only showing 9 each, which seems low, but I am sure that will change as Spring approaches.

Today will focus on the $800,000 to $1,000,000 range in the tri-city area.

Redwood City
2813 Roosevelt Ave, 2/2 $ 819,000 Sat/Sun 1:30-4:30 New listing. Very handsome remodeled home on larger corner lot. Last sold 2004 for $635,000.
531 Hillside Rd, 2/1 $ 849,000 Sun 1-4 Small Emerald Hills home on 1/3 acre, listed last Thanksgiving.
63 Oakwood Dr, 3/2.5 $ 895,000 Sun 11-3 No info available

3786 Jefferson Ave, 3/2 $ 899,000 Sun 1:30-4:30 New Listing, across from Roy Cloud School. Good price.
1276 Fernside St, 4/3 $ 899,000 Sun 1:30-4:30 New Listing. Trustee Sale.
1571 Union Ave, 4/2 $ 899,950 Sun 1-4 Near Woodside Road Safeway, this is a larger home that has been enlarged and updated. Seems slightly overpriced.
505 Saint Francis St, 3/2 $ 925,000 Sat/Sun 1:30-4:30 New Listing. Oversized (corner?) lot off Jefferson. Updated, but also may be slightly overpriced.
633 Alameda, 3/2 $ 929,516 Sun 1:30-4:30 Winner of this week’s Odd Price Award. Listed over 200 days, it has had 5 price reductions (original list $1,097,516).
443 Birch St, 3/2 $ 989,000 Sat/Sun 1:30-4:30 Charming, albeit hideously painted, Craftsman near Sequoia High School Definitely overpriced.
4108 Jefferson Ave, 4/2 $ 999,000 Sun 1-4 118 days on market, with only one reduction, which occurred last October, just two weeks after listing.

San Carlos
1125 Walnut St, 2/1 $ 849,000 Sat/Sun 1:30-4:30 Long on market (184 days) with no price reduction.
1009 Walnut St, 2/1 $ 859,000 Sat 1-4 Sun 1:30-4:30 On the market a month, this house is far more charming than the above listing. Drawback is the # of bedrooms, as many families move here for the schools, and typically have more than one child. Good starter home, if you can start that high.
256 Fir St, 2/1 $ 859,000 Sat/Sun 1:30-4:30 No info available
210 Sycamore St, 2/1 $ 899,000 Sun 1-4 New Listing. Bi-level home on large (upsloped lot). Again, two bedrooms slow to sell in this town.

Belmont
3307 Bay Ct, 3/2.5 $ 899,000 Sat/Sun 1-4 Contemporary cabin in the hills on the market 22 days.
68 Edgewood Pl, 3/2.5 $ 968,888 Sun 1-3 This is a 5-year-old SFR attached development off El Camino. I reviewed a home in this complex last year and was impressed, however, I think this is priced a bit too high.
