Interesting South Bay FSBOs – Yes, FSBOs Are Back
After a dry spell in which very few FSBOs were posted, there are now several on Craigslist.org that look interesting enough to write about! A series of posts complaining about realtors inappropriately flagging Craigslist ads suggest that foul play may have been afoot. It will be interesting to see the number of FSBO sales tracked over time against the number of FSBO Craigslist ads to see if there is any correlation.
All speculation about the resurgence of ads aside, here are some of the FSBOs that looked the best. First of all, this one is slightly overpriced at $775K, but it is tough to beat the commute location of 1952 Bohannon Drive in Santa Clara. A 3/2 with almost 1750 square feet, it has a hot tub, room for an RV or boat, and two patios. It is also a single story home with reduced Santa Clara utilities, making it more cost effective from that standpoint.
A quaint little cottage in the Santa Cruz mountains complete with white picket fence is listed as an FSBO this week – for $517K and nothing down, you can own 1/3 of an acre and a 2/2 home located at 25111 Soquel San Jose Road. The second bed and bath are located in the garage, which is separate from the main house.
Yet another one worthy of note is a 3/2 condo on the fairway of the Boulder Creek Golf and Country Club which would be perfect for retirees who want peace, quiet, and golf. The views are beautiful, and Los Gatos or Santa Cruz are each only 30 minutes away. The condo itself has a one car garage, and the complex has a pool as well.
