Oakland: Selling Above Asking
Well, I don’t believe in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny anymore and lately I wouldn’t believe in homes selling for above asking in the Bay Area either. Especially in Oakland, as the Town has taken a hard hit with hundreds of foreclosures and sellers in “good” neighborhoods taking large losses. But I found a couple that sold above asking (published in SFGate’s most recent edition). And I mean, just a couple; well, actually, three. Here they are:
1348 Trestle Glen Rd. 3bd/1ba 1739 SF Sold for: $989,000 Asking Price: $959,000 (Trestle Glen Area; pictured right)
1551 Excelsior Ave. 2bd 1060 SF Sold for: $605,000 Asking Price: $579,000 (“Lower” Glenview)
6841 Elverton Dr. 2bd 2989 SF Sold for: $1,335,000 Asking Price: $1,295,000 (Oakland Hills)
