Most home buyers want a “deal” but buying a home in today’s market can be confusing.  There are two primary pricing strategies:

1) Pricing to sell; there is no room for negotiation.  Sometimes the variation of this is pricing just under market.  The result of this pricing strategy is typically the home selling quickly in multiple offer situations.  Multiple offers often result in the home being sold for over asking price.

2) Pricing with room for negotiation.  This can be a slippery slope for home sellers and often results in their selling for less than what they could have sold for by originally pricing aggressively. This pricing strategy is most apt to present “the deal” for the home buyer.

If you are in the market for an excellent school district, have an appreciation for fine architecture and have a yearning for a very special vintage home on a large lot, this could be your “deal”.

My historically significant La Crescenta listing has now been reduced twice ($165,000 reduction).  This dramatic, one of a kind home, built in 1927 by renowned architects Finlayson and Gerhardt on nearly an acre of land, affords a pervasive old world ambiance. The four bedroom, four bath floor plan includes an upstairs master suite and a sun room presently used as a home office. French doors open to the patio and a large courtyard, making entertaining easy. Character architectural details include a beamed ceiling, archways, and built-in niches. The grounds include a variety of fruit trees, rose gardens, oversized swimming pool and changing rooms with plumbing. Additional features include two fish ponds, plumbed darkroom, and the possibility of further expansion, guest quarters or subdivision.

First time on the market in over 30 years, don’t miss the opportunity to own this unique 1920’s estate sited in one of the Foothill’s premier school districts.
