Elk Grove Ranchette on 2 Acres 5 Bedrooms Plus Casita
Spectacular Elk Grove ranchette on 2 Acres 5 Bedrooms plus casita is on the market in Sacramento County. This property has it all featuring many upgrades. 11840 Gidaro in Elk Grove California is a rambling Mediterranean-style, with views from the entertainment areas and master suite. The outdoor living is incredibly spectacular for those barbecue get-togethers, birthday parties and so much more. The oversized kitchen offers an abundance of space and a walk-in pantry. You can actually see fabulous mountain views from the kitchen. This is one of those wide-open spaces where the dinner party can fit in your kitchen.
When you drive into the rural ranchette subdivision, you cross a bridge that resembles the “Covered Bridges of Madison County.” Then you see the white rail fencing throughout the subdivision. The expansive tile roofing gives a warm appearance across the rooftops. The rolling green pastures and trees with acreage sized lots afford space and privacy. Streets are wide and offer enjoyable evening walks. Further, stars shine brightly and cool breezes in the evening keep the summers enjoyable.
The Casita has a kitchenette and a full bathroom with gorgeous built-in bookshelves. It is a great office or creative space separate from the main home. If you are looking for that rare gem with country living, call to see it today. This rural real estate living is growing in popularity. Buyers are wanting more space in the great outdoors and opportunities to raise and grow your own food. The square footage totals approximately 5,300 of living space, and with two enormous acres and a grand view. List price $1,150,000.
Perhaps buying a solar system on these large homes is a wise investment with some tax advantages, but act quickly. How long will this be tax deductible? I’m looking into this for a 2021 purchase as my home is all-electric. With electrical bills well over $500 a month, my solar could be paid for in 10 years. After a decade, the huge savings banked over the following 15 years would be a nice nest egg. Some of these systems come with 25-30 year warranties, but that’s for another blog.

Newer Elk Grove Home in Franklin Crossing For Sale
10544 Buckland Way, Elk Grove, CA 95757 is a newer home in Franklin Crossing
Although, the Bilby / Willard Parkway area in Elk Grove is one of the hottest neighborhoods in 95757, I’d like to introduce you to something even newer, a home in Franklin Crossing for sale. Unlike the other homes nearby that were built during the boom years of 2003 to 2005, this home in Franklin Crossing was built in 2014. That makes it three years new.
When you think about major components having a life span of 15 to 20 years, it means buying a home that was built in 2003 could need repairs shortly, but that’s unlikely with a 3-year-new home. You’ve got a long ways to go before you’ll have to think about replacing the HVAC or buying a new range.
Great room concept includes the kitchen at home in Franklin Crossing
This home in Franklin Crossing for sale makes excellent use of space. The Sacramento County Assessor’s office shows the unverified square footage at 1,657. If you look beyond the refrigerator in the kitchen, you’ll see another space. You can use that area for a breakfast nook, a home office or a children’s play area, whatever your imagination desires. And look at the gloss on that white tile and the brilliant white grout without a spot on it. Rich chocolate cabinets finish the look.
You will find 3 bedrooms and two full baths. The master bedroom is oversized and very spacious. There are organizers in the closets, too. All of the bedrooms enjoy a cherrywood ceiling fan with a light fixture. So many newer homes have no light fixtures in the bedrooms but this is not the case with this particular home in Franklin Crossing for sale. Look at that luxurious plush carpeting.
Master suite bath features glass backsplash and tiled flooring.
Check out the multi-colored pieces of glass that make up the backsplash in this stunning master suite bath. Of course, you get dual sinks in the vanity with extra storage, but look at the irregular-shaped ceramic flooring. There is a walk-in shower, too, and a window, plus his-and-hers medicine cabinets.
The back yard features a covered patio and a lush lawn. The perimeter contains black bark, ready for your gardening talents.
Come to our open house on Sunday, June 25th, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM, and give yourself a chance to fall in love with this home in Franklin Crossing for sale. 10544 Buckland Way, Elk Grove, CA 95757, is offered exclusively by Elizabeth Weintraub and Lyon Real Estate at $380K. Call Elizabeth for more information at 916.233.6759.
Elk Grove Sellers Who Buy With a Contingent Offer is Becoming the Norm
We just closed escrow yesterday for an evening news anchor and his family. They were able to sell an existing home, rent back for a while and close on another home, and we helped them every step of the way. Further, it was a contingent offer that scored the family the home of their dreams. Now, I know there are potential sellers who don’t believe it is possible to get an offer accepted to buy a home when their own home is not yet sold, but that is a common procedure for experienced Elk Grove agents. The trick is to make sure your home is on the market before you try to buy a home. Make it contingent.
I talk to scores of people all day long who call to ask about buying a home when they also have a home to sell. Each is different, and there is no cookie-cutter solution. I have many scenarios to choose from that will work, it just depends which is best for the client. But I do know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, if a seller needs to sell in order to buy, I’m your Sacramento REALTOR who will get the job done.
In this particular instance, I had sold this Elk Grove seller’s home 3 times. Three times! Flakey buyers. Buyers who get all the way to escrow closing, two days away and then suddenly realize, oh my gosh, we can’t get our money out of China! If I had a dime for every time I heard that excuse I still couldn’t afford an oceanfront home in Maui. Or, they are trying to sell a home but won’t price it in accordance with the comparable sales so we have to cancel them because we want to be in escrow with buyers who will actually close. We lost our first two buyers for reason #1 and reason #2.
But our third buyer stuck. Our third buyer was in a multiple-offer situation with another buyer, too. This was a home with no upgrades, no granite counters, no stainless appliances, no crown molding, nothing really special except the view. We worked out all of the details before the offer was formally presented to the sellers, the amount of the rent back, the duration, which made the entire process that much more pleasant for all parties concerned.
The home the sellers found to buy was also their third escrow. The first two homes, well, after presentation of all the facts, the sellers found some terms?that were unacceptable, and we helped them to cancel. It is not up to us to try to talk anybody out of canceling. If the home is not for them, it’s not for them, next. We want happy sellers and buyers.
Sure, sometimes it seems like we do 3 times the work to get the same results we used to obtain years ago without all of that work, but that’s how the business is these days. We do what we have to do to keep our clients smiling. It doesn’t have to be a pain in the neck to sell a home and buy another at the same time. Not if you’re dealing with pros. I say, bring on the contingent offers, boys, this is where we shine!
About Selling Homes in Elk Grove
There are some things I know about that I do not care to know such as Simon Cowell got his best friend’s wife pregnant and why Aretha Franklin, the beloved godmother of soul, doesn’t quite trust modern medicine, but there are other things I know that carry significance, especially about Sacramento real estate and selling homes in Elk Grove. Now, having an almost 40-year career in real estate, I can tell you that it’s very common for clients to have a different idea of what an agent should do to market their home than what an agent believes is the best course of action.
That’s OK, because I go with the flow. I want happy clients. I want more referrals coming to this Sacramento real estate agent, and unhappy clients generally don’t give referrals. It is the referrals and 5-star reviews that keep the doors to my business open. When I’m selling homes in Elk Grove, I want those Elk Grove sellers ecstatic!
But yesterday I elected to make an exception. A seller asked if I would put a box of fliers on the post outside of her home in Elk Grove. I could do it but it would be pointless. It was good that I took the time to explain my reasoning because the seller agreed. Here are few reasons why it’s not a very good idea to put out flyers when selling homes in Elk Grove:
- The home in Elk Grove is located on a cul-de-sac off a quiet street so walk-by traffic is unlikely.
- We want potential buyers to call us. That’s why my Elk Grove office phone number is front and center on the gigantic For Sale sign, followed by a rider with my cellphone number, and another rider with the cellphone number for an Elizabeth Weintraub team member.
- Kids often swipe flyers.
- My Virtual Agent system attached to the for sale sign gives potential buyers many opportunities to get information. They don’t even have to call an agent or talk to an agent. By calling an 800#, all data is sent as a virtual tour to their cellphones. They can text a code, just like American Idol, and all data is sent as a virtual tour to their cellphones. Or, they can take a picture of the QR code with their cellphone and all data is sent automatically to their cellphone.
- But probably an unexpected reason is the home will be sold by the time we get out there with a box of flyers.
