31 Northwood Commons

Chico’s prettiest and best kept condominium neighborhood is where my newest listing is!! Northwood Commons has been a personal favorite since I started selling homes here in 1979, I must’ve always wanted to live here, beautiful grounds, pool, spa, tennis courts and now that the landscape has matured its very private! This new listing is cute, colorful, and a hard to find interior lot.  Check out the photos and call me to see in person, its been lovingly cared for and updated by the current seller and priced at $229,000 for this 2 bed/2bth home!

This crazy market

Everything it seems I have read in the last two days contradicts the thing I read before, what is this market doing? Where is it heading?? Buyer’s are nervous but at the same time anxious to take advantage of these low interest rates and prices.  Seller’s aren’t happy if they’ve bought in the last 7 years, a few are ready to make a change even in this market knowing they’ll pay low on their next purchase.  What seems positive is that the buyer tax credit looks to be extended and hopefully the program enhanced to include all buyers! Also positive is that in spite of all the predictions of higher rates the interest rates are staying close to 5% which really helps out buyers of all properties!

My 2 listings at Wendy Way and Waterford Drive sold very quickly still proving the market under $235,000 is strong in Chico CA! Buyer’s are willing and expect to compete for decent homes in that price range. 
Keep any referrals coming, I appreciate it and look forward to helping more buyers and sellers these last few months of 2009!!!

1106 Wendy Way FINISHED!

Well almost anyway! Cleaned, and ready to show.  Bathrooom looks great, except plumber hasn’t set toilet, sink, shower fixture, oh well.  Flooring is done, new doors, new door hardware, new windows, new baseboard, new window, all new casing, new garage door and opener, landscaping looks great, in fact it all does to us!
Left to finish- plumbing, staging, some painting, some trim and now repainting fireplace AGAIN! First is was “Cut in the mustard”- to French’s, then Mountain trail Moss, very pretty but after tiling the fireplace hearth it doesn’t match so now I’m going to move to cocoa or chocolate.  The fireplace tile and grout got lost in translation so to speak?? Husbands and wives don’t always agree is a good domestic way to put it!

$229,500 is the price, come check it out, its cute, has a HUGE yard, shed and ready to move in to!!
