Listing in Davis Sells at Remarkable Price for Original Condition
This was the second listing in Davis that I sold for these sellers, and both homes sold with cash offers at outstanding prices. It takes me 18 minutes to drive to Davis from my home in Land Park, but some of the Davis Realtors have implied that because I do not live in the city of Davis, that it is impossible for me to know how to sell a listing in Davis. They don’t believe my 40+ years in the business carries weight, I guess.
I get it that Davis is a close-knit community and everybody knows everybody else, that Davis agents have a certain style of working that might seem a bit outside the norm to us Sacramento Realtors, but real estate principles still apply. Time-tested strategies for how to price a home against the market still applies to a listing in Davis. Fabulous ways to market a home still applies to a listing in Davis. Successful techniques for negotiating a purchase offer still applies to a listing in Davis.
Above all, my sellers did not want to hire a Realtor who works in Davis. I don’t know why, maybe because we both voted for Hillary Clinton for president, but I do know they are happy with me, and that’s all that matters in my world.
Every time we had a showing, I would email each buyer’s agent to ask for feedback. Many of the agents felt the list price was too high to attract an offer. They told me there weren’t enough updates in the home to justify the price, but that’s not what my instincts said to me. It’s not what my comparative market analysis reflected, either. I spied a hot market, with low inventory, and even though the home had a few unusual qualities, it was in the right location.
As you know, real estate is location, location, location. And the buyer who purchased this home certainly felt the value was there or she wouldn’t have bought it. She knows the neighborhood well, I hear. Happy buyer, happy sellers, no repairs or credits, and it doesn’t get any better than that. 545 Antioch Dr, Davis, CA, sold at $725,000.

New listing for sale in central Davis is located at 545 Antioch Drive.
When a new listing for sale in Davis comes on the market, all of the Realtors in town snap to attention. Say what you like about Davis, and you know what some people say, right? That it’s the 1960s gone wrong or the jokes about how many from a Davis committee it takes to turn a lightbulb or, even the worse stuff, like comparing the beautiful, warm community of Davis to a police state during a certain time period, when the facts are none of those things, especially if you live in Davis.
In my real estate office at Lyon, I often hear agents say that if you send your children to school in Davis, yes, you might pay $100,000 more for a home in Davis over Sacramento, but think of all the money you’re saving preparing your kids for college. Davis schools enjoy a good reputation. Plus, the vibrant area offers quaint small town charm near a big city. It boasts the University of California at Davis and the Mondavi Center, what’s not to love about Davis?

This new listing for sale in Davis is a mid-century home boasting single-level living space. You’ll find 3 bedrooms and 3 baths.

Much of the interior flooring is refinished hardwood, as you would expect in a home built in 1964, yes, when the Beatles first came to America. I recall getting kicked out of grade school in 1964 for handwriting the word Beatles 500 times, in a futile attempt to win a Beatles wig through some stupid radio promo.
