Pending Sale on Thanksgiving Day is Not Unusual
It is not unusual to have a pending sale on Thanksgiving Day, but there are years it doesn’t happen. This year, though, for some reason, buyers seem to be rather active over the holiday. If we are really lucky, it will carry through Christmas, and maybe we’ll sell a few more houses on Christmas Day! You know, my favorite day of the year to buy a home is Christmas Day. Best day ever. Everybody is in a good mood, and it’s hard to say anything negative about the warm fuzzies that circulate on that particular day. Complete strangers yell out holiday greetings and hug you. Maybe it’s the eggnog.
Whatever, I love selling homes and especially making a pending sale on Thanksgiving. I know, people criticize and smugly blither: why are you agents working on Thanksgiving? But hey, what is the big deal with answering a call? My husband went to the airport to pick up his brothers from Chicago and, during that time, I contacted the seller, and we signed the counter offer. This is a seller I personally know. She is the mother of a former agent on the team. We used to go out to lunch when she was working. I wanted nothing more than for her to sell to a nice family.
And voila. The counter offer had appeared suddenly in my email signed by the buyer on this very special day. It wasn’t what she had been expecting at first, nor what her daughter wanted, but we worked through it. We were a bit astonished that the buyer quickly accepted and we had our pending sale on Thanksgiving Day.
Not only did I thoroughly enjoy visiting with my brother-in-laws, but it was the icing on the cake for the day. Especially since we had no cake. Just a mince meat pie and my husband’s mother’s special apple crisp. Was a nice way to round out the day.
2729 Via Villaggio, Sacramento, CA 96854 is presently pending at $349K.
If you look closely at the photo you will see me in a Cub’s t-shirt in the mirror.
Amazing Home in a Gated Community in Arden Manor Sacramento
Are you a first-time home buyer hoping to find an amazing home in a gated community in Arden Manor at an affordable price? Look no further. Homes in the Villaggio gated complex do not come up for sale very often. All around this neighborhood, you see so much new construction. Developers are building $750K to $900K homes in Arden Manor. When the seller bought this home in 2005, it offered a gated community in the middle of an older, established neighborhood. Today, that community is revitalized with many remodeled homes and quite a number of upper-end luxury homes. This is an excellent opportunity from an investment or long-term hold point of view. You will love the price, too.
The first thing you should consider when buying a home in a gated community in Arden Manor is parking. You don’t have to be rocket scientist to figure out the garage is a one-car. However, look at that space in front of the front door. What is that? I’ll tell you what that is. It’s a carport. And then over on the left-side of the house is a bricked yard with space for two more cars. Yes, you can park a minimum of four cars at this home. More, when we figure out how to stack them on top of each other.
You can’t see the home in this photo because this is shot from the street (Jonas). The home is located all the way at the end on the right, nestled in the evergreens. It’s a very private location. Not only that, but it’s one of the largest lots in the subdivision. The last two homes on the right are set back from the street with a much larger area of street in front. Nobody has verified this, but the seller thinks the property line for each of the houses runs to the middle of the street. If that is true, that definitely makes her particular lot much bigger than the others at .0933, according to the Sacramento County Tax Assessor. That could be wrong, though. Although most of the other lots are .06.
Check out the entertainment space. This room is around the corner from the sheltered entrance. Beautiful oversized ceramic with variances add drama to the travertine around the fireplace. The owner of this home has impeccable taste, wouldn’t you agree? Look at those oversized Hershey’s Kisses on the floor in front of the fireplace. Perfect accessory, no?
If you haven’t guessed it by now, the first floor of this home is for entertaining. There is a half bath around the corner by the entrance, but the rest of the layout is kitchen and family room. Of course, the cabinets are a beautiful maple, and all of the black appliances stay. Over on the left is the area the former owners used as a dining space, but our seller prefers a table in the middle. What do you think? Middle like this? Or dining area in the corner?
Last year the seller painted to keep everything fresh. All of the rooms are the same color for consistency. You will find three bedrooms and two full baths upstairs. The seller uses one of the bedrooms as a TV room and it offers a balcony as well. This is a photo of the master bedroom at the back of the home. You will love the master bath, complete with a separate shower and a soaking tub.
Plenty of time in the day to relax outside. There are many areas around the perimeter of the home to curl up and read a book, due to its remote location. Much of the exterior was remodeled by the seller, including the pergola, patio surround and walkways. It’s a place you really need to see in person because it’s even better than the photos. Why not come to our open houses on Saturday and Sunday, both from 11 AM to 1 PM, September 29th and 30th? If you can’t wait, here is the virtual tour.
