200 P Street Condos
What You Don’t Know About Riverfront Plaza Condos
If you want to know about Riverfront Plaza condos, you should ask an agent who sells a lot of homes in Sacramento, not just the condos at 200 P Street. The reason is not every agent employs the same principles and techniques when it comes to listing and selling homes. You can take this Sacramento Realtor, for example, who has her own way of doing things that has been wildly successful. It’s hard to copy what I do because every sale is different. The strategies I use are custom for each seller because each seller is unique.
I happen to know a lot about Riverfront Plaza condos, as I sell a few in that complex from time to time. Soon as I put this particular unit on the market, I received a ton of phone calls from agents wanting to show. My belief is any home should be on the market long enough to expose its salability to potential buyers. For example, when I see a sold home with zero days on market, it makes me wonder whether the listing agent had a buyer in his back pocket and just crammed the two together, practicing dual agency, without any regard to bringing the seller the highest price possible.
How could a unit sell for the highest price possible if it wasn’t on the market for a long enough period of time to allow other buyers to submit a purchase offer? Zero days on market is not enough time for some internet website services to receive information about the condo for sale. It certainly is not enough time to download into Zillow or Trulia or Realtor.com. Some buyers will never get a chance to find about Riverfront Plaza Condos if they can’t even find the condo for sale before it goes into pending status. That’s doing a grave disservice to the seller, far as I’m concerned.
My last Riverfront Plaza condo closed on the last day in May. It had been on the market for 6 days, which was excellent exposure in our tremendously hot seller’s market. You never really have to worry about price. If it’s priced too low, buyers will bid up that price. If it’s priced too high, nobody will bid at all, and it will sit on the market for 100 days, or more. The bottom line is condos sell for market value, for the price the market is willing to bear, providing it has exposure.
My sellers placed a very attractive price on their unit. It had quite a few updates and improvements but still retained the older carpeting in the family room, and the bedrooms were not really updated. We poured over the comparable sales, examined the square foot costs for remodeled units that were similar, and decided to place a very attractive price of $359,000 for the two bedroom, two bath condo. Also, for some reason, the public records show the wrong square footage for many of the 1,448 square foot condos. But they are 1,448 square feet because I know about Riverfront Plaza condos.
Our condo sold at $370,000. With multiple offers, and we pushed the price even further. If you’re interested in hearing more about Riverfront Plaza Condos, please call your Sacramento Realtor Elizabeth Weintraub at 916.233.6759.
Remodeled Riverfront Plaza Condos for Sale in Downtown Sacramento
When I stopped at the Riverfront Plaza Condos last night to attach my lockbox to the lockbox rack, I was astonished to see so many lockboxes hanging on the pipe. We have 3 Riverfront Plaza condos in all of MLS on the market, and one of those is a pending sale. It means agents might have abandoned their lockboxes or forgotten they were there. I believe the number of condos in that project is around 91 units. Yet, so far this year only one Riverfront Plaza condo has closed.
This is a delightful community, with a lot of amenities. A pool, spa, tennis courts, workout gym, and conference center, for starters. Riverfront Plaza Condos are located close to downtown Sacramento and across from the Crocker Art Museum. Visitors and residents enjoy art installations scattered throughout as well. You’ve also got underground parking, and security through the lobby.
At the moment you will find two condos for sale in Riverfront Plaza Condos. One condo is listed by another brokerage at $494,500 (per square foot cost of $272.60) at 200 P Street, D-13, and there is my listing next door to it, D-11, featuring fabulous upgrades at $359,000 and a per-square-foot cost of $247.93. Which seems to be the better buy?
My new listing is a two bedroom, two bath in a wonderfully shaded building, way to the left of the lobby, the D Building. It’s a popular building for having close access to the tennis courts but far enough away from the noisier activities. The condo has been extensively remodeled. The sellers opened a kitchen wall to create a great room. Custom cabinets, stone counters, stainless appliances, ceramic flooring; it’s stunning and impressive. All of the baths have been remodeled. Hand-painted tiles, one-of-a-kind vessel sinks, roomy spacious walk-in shower in the guest bath and an extra deep soaking tub in the master suite.
You need to fully experience the beauty of this home in person. The sellers are artists, and there is a spiritual connection, an energy, if you will, to that condo. It’s not just the gorgeous Middle Eastern artifacts (reflective of living overseas) and tremendous amount of concentrated thought to its improvements that are evident; it’s the way the home makes you feel: relaxed, comfortable and serene. You are wrapped in natural earth-inspired upgrades, similar to being in a forest when the only sound you can hear is the wind gently tossing tree tops.
