EB Tri-Cities Open Houses May 10-11

The following houses are ones that I consider well presented. They are staged nicely and have curbside appeal. These things have become more and more important with the current glut of houses for sale. Buyers have a lot to choose from so it is very important and beneficial to put a little extra work into the buyer’s first impression. These are all larger houses in typical tract house type neighborhoods. There seems to be far more of these type houses for sale in this area.

FREMONT
43366 Gatewood St – 4/2.5 – $596,000 Sun 1-5
This house is definitely worth checking out. It is in a nice neighborhood in the Irvington district. I especially like the location because it is located in the middle of the neighborhood so it isn’t on any busy streets. And nearby Irvington High School is one of the better schools in this area. This would make a great family home especially with a nice pool. It does get toasty here in the summer.
1518 Shinn Ct – 4/2.5 – $759,950 Sat 1:30-4:30
This house is very well presented. Lots of extras including tons of space. And I definitely like having a pool in Fremont in the summer. Plus, it is located close to the great Quarry Lakes recreation area, one of my favorite places to go for year round walking, running, biking, swimming and more.
40925 Amapola Dr – 5/2.5 – $1,299,950 Sat/Sun 1:30-4:30
I am impressed with this house because it is one of the lower priced ones for the Mission district of Fremont. Schools here are great and the living is good. But this is definitely for a big family.

MILPITAS
2101 Ornellas Dr – 3/2.5 – $658,000 Sat 1:30-4:30
This house is located in a very nice community area with lots of amenities. There are association fees but that usually insures that your neighbors all keep up on the curbside appeal of their homes which is better for future house value, not to mention morale.
920 Cameron Cir – 4/2.5 – $868,888 Sat 1:30-4:30
Very nicely presented home in another great area of Milpitas. I don’t think a lot of people recognize the appeal of Milpitas in that it is close to major freeways so commuting is much easier and more convenient. Plus the shopping around here is outstanding.

UNION CITY
32748 S Folklore Loop – 3/2 – $689,000 Sun 1-5
This is definitely a keeper! Very spacious and in a great area.
3019 Belize Way – 4/3 – $835,000 Sun 1-4
Life in a gated community definitely has perks. You typically have access to lots of amenities, assurance of property maintenance issues, with safety being the prime benefit.
