I listed an upgraded Marin Plan 2 detached condo in Eastwood earlier this morning on MLS. The home has over $200k in upgrades and was built in 2018 by Irvine Pacific. It features 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, including a downstairs bedroom and full bathroom, along about 2,250sf of living space. The home is listed for $1,689,000.

PM or email me if you are interested in seeing it. I will be hosting open houses this weekend on Saturday, Oct. 8th and Sunday, Oct. 9th from 12-4pm.

How come Seller is selling within a year of purchase? 
400K over the Aug 2021 closed price seems like a lot now, At the same time, 1.3M price for when it sold in Aug 2021 seems very low considering how hot the market was back then.

$1.3M, with little upgrades (since buyers put in a lot of upgrades) wasn't that low Aug 2021. I believe that Fresco at Eastwood was around $1.5M at that point. Housing price didn't really start taking off until Sept 2021. Old seller start listing in May 2021 and they went into contract 7/26/2021, so I would say the $1.3M was reasonable for that time.

I remember this because I started getting on the Bluffs and Highland waitlist in Sept 2021 and those homes were still in the $1.35M (Bluffs 1) to $1.55M (Highland 2) range. They are now $1.75M to $2.0M range.

Makes sense. I regret putting my Petaluma on the Market in July 2021...should have waited 2 more months until September to have a shot at atleast 100k more. Also, should have listed with Martin! Oh well, Hindsight is always 20/20!! Never thought 2-3 months could cause prices to swing so much in RE.

When we got on the waitlist in Sept 2021, Bluffs 2 was $1.37M and when we finally got it in Dec 2021, it was $1.48M, so it did go up about $100k in 2 months. And by the time we closed escrow end of May, Bluffs 2 was selling at $1.75M (base price). That's another $270k increase after 6 more months. That's pretty much where it peaked at.

Seller is in contract on a larger new home so it was time to list the home for sale.  They also went through the home and made a lot of upgrades both inside and out so it's one of the nicer upgraded detached condos on the market.

Turnkey properties are still getting good bids in this market so we'll see what happens.

At 250K more, you can get this true SFR in EW -https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/109-Allenford-92620/home/167385405

Maybe true but that home has basically no upgrades from the looks of it and it was a rental property up until the end of July was it was difficult to show hence why the home has lingered on the market like a dirty sock.

Yes, prices really started talking off in Sept/Oct 2021 when inventory levels plummeted and buyer FOMO went up.

Always thought a true indicator of the market is what happens to a Martin listing. If the property sells for less that means the downturn has started. And you know LL will be all over it, which no one is looking forward to :( If the property doesn?t sell? well I don?t want to think about it!

Agree. This one felt a bit overpriced to me. But what do I know. The streets of Eastwood is paved with something special 😉

How was the open house traffic? Any offers yet?

Had 18 buyers show up during both days.  A few seemed interested, including one that got outbid on Tolson.  We are getting an agent show each day which is also a good sign.
