Berkeley Homes Sold: One Happy FSBO As Others Sell Under

Berkeley homes sold data for the weeks ending July 27 and August 3 are listed below.

Worthy of note is 2815 Park Street (pictured above left), a 4/2 “lovingly restored” 1930s home with garage opposite San Pablo Park in West Berkeley. It went on the market as an FSBO in May priced $660,000. It sold the following month for $683,000 making one very happy seller no doubt.

28 Oakvale Avenue (pictured above right), a 3/2.5 in the Claremont, sold for $1,350,000, 3% under its $1,395,000 asking price. Although in a grand location, the house needed some work

2440 Prince Street, a 2/2 Victorian in the Elmwood (which I flagged up in May) sold for 4% under its $799,000 price tag. I’m not altogether surprised because, although this is a great, kid-friendly/walkable neighborhood, $617/sq ft for two bedrooms is a lot to pay, particularly in the current climate.
