Anyone has any opinions on this house? Sorry I could not post a link because my work has block all those websites.



The List price seems very nice for that size, even though the back is facing 2 busy streets. I have not been in there (since it's gated) to see if I like that area. But the $/Sq Ft is quite attractive.

I love the 3 car wide garage and the 3 car wide and double deep driveways. May I suggest paving over the front yard and park the 10th car on the new driveway.



The house is listed at a very good price and the lot is over 8,000 sf.



You better hurry before IHO beats you to it.



Walking distance to IHB trivia #14.
 
I put an offer for one of my buyers on the property. The listing agent indicated that he has received over 20 offers as of yesterday evening.

Anyone like the houses in that community?</blockquote>
I actually like Harvard Square except for two things:



1. Don't buy a home too close to the freeway.

2. It's gated.



I know some people like #2 but to me it's a hassle.



The central park is nice and the community is "neighborly". The fact they have 3CWG (3-car wide garage) is a big plus for me.



I will surely fetch more than $655k due to lots of FCBs out there but I wouldn't buy it because it backs Walnut/Harvard (I will never buy a house next to a major street again).



At 3450sft... this will probably get $800k or more (maybe even $900k).

You still have buyers looking? Man... how many people are you representing you homebuyer pimp?



So, uh, what range did you bid in?



I think if you're not close to $900k, you're not in the contest. That Woodbridge home is going to go for $1mil.



Darn FCBs.

I'm working with a handful of active buyers and a few more sideline buyers that I'm working with but the lack of inventory is problem. There's a few strategies that I have proposed to a few of my buyers (think of it as "out-of-box" thinking to find some stealth listings).



Now you know I can't tell you what kind of offer my buyers put in, but nice try.

I wasn't trying to find out their exact bid... just wanted to know what you valuated the property at. Disregarding your buyer's bid... can you PM me what <strong>you</strong> think it should go for?
 
Thanks USC... I hope your buyer isn't an IHBer but at least you used a broad range.



Seriously though... this house is probably worth about $700k and to think it will go for more than $800k range... argh... what happened to falling prices?!? I blame the banks for holding on to those REOs and the gov for helping them do so.
 
Wow, horrible backyard location. That entire multi-intersectional area is just busy busy busy busy. The winning bidder should invest in some double-pane windows.
 
Trees are better for buffering noise as well filtering traffic dust. 2 layers of trees should also shade the south western sun the least desirable orientation.

Unless there is a tree made of sound absorbing concrete, they are pretty much useless against traffic noise. 2 layers of trees with 1000ft buffer between them would help though.



(can you tell I'm bitter about traffic noise?)

You picked a really lousy county to live in, then.
