My listing located at 3609 Encinal in La Crescenta has not sold. We had back to back open houses and after a month on the market no sale.  This home offers a granite kitchen and an enormous family room. In addition there are solar panels and the owner’s electrical bill is typically just the cost of the taxes – around $20.00. 



So why hasn’t this home sold after a month on the market?  The back yard is not large and the owner had two sheds and a sauna in it.  There also wasn’t any grass. The owner has removed the shedsand patio cover and has installed grass, and sprinklers.

Now the question is timing, when should we come back on the market?  It’s a difficult decision, as the seller wants to move but understands that the first 10 days of marketing is critical, we don’t want buyers or their Realtors distracted.  Labor Day Weekend is looming, back to school, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. 

We have decided to come back on the market on the 20th, it will be open 10-2 on Tuesday, September 21st and again on Sunday the 26th from 2-4. BUT if you want to see the home before it is back in the MLS, let me know and I will arrange the showing.
