New Listing: Elk Grove One Story Home on Large Lot by Morse Park
9916 Montedoro Ct, Elk Grove, CA 95757
This Elk Grove one story home hits all the right “must have” buyer buttons. For starters, well, it’s a one-story home, which are far more popular these days than multi-levels. It is also situated on a quiet cul-de-sac away from the main streets on a really big lot, almost .28 acres. The sellers have maximized the space in the yard, too, as there are many different places for activities. Aside from gardening beds, you’ll find a raised platform for a table and chairs, in addition to a covered patio and a separate play house or hobby room with lights.
When you walk into the Elk Grove one story home, you will know immediately, OK, within 3 seconds, that you want to buy it. The view of the formal living room includes a formal dining room off to the left and straight ahead the separate family room, which features another dining area and the kitchen, all the way to the beautiful and lush back yard. It’s a special view.
The home itself is extremely special. Right now it is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home but it came into this world a four-bedroom home, when the sellers asked the builders, K. Hovanian, to convert the extra bedroom into a formal dining room. Which is why the dining room features a built-in buffet where a closet would ordinarily be located. A person, if she so desired, could put a wall up and close the dining room off, turning it back into a bedroom, but it’s really better suited as a dining room.
You will love the family room and updates in the kitchen, especially the hanging pendants and pre-rinse faucet. There is an island, and newer ceiling fans throughout, including crown molding in many rooms. The vaulted ceilings make the home appear even larger than 1,878 noted by the Sacramento County Assessor. Haven’t you always wanted to buy an Elk Grove one story home?
Most of all, you will adore the back yard and all of the possibilities it presents. Come to our open house on Sunday, May 14th from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Yes, it’s Mother’s Day but we all do what Mom wants on that day and, trust me, Mom wants to go to an open house in Elk Grove!

Home Pricing Strategies for Selling Homes in Elk Grove
Home pricing strategies vary depending on the type of marketplace.
Because I list and sell so many homes in the Elk Grove area, I get a lot of calls from appraisers asking about home pricing strategies and what happened during our offer negotiations. It’s a good thing I am organized. I keep all of my offers and notes on each in a separate spreadsheet just for reference. There is no way I can pull this stuff out of my memory. I’m lucky if I can recall the name of the street. The calls from appraisers generally center on how to substantiate the sales value without enough comps.
This is a serious issue, not only with homes in Elk Grove but throughout the Sacramento Valley. I am constantly suggesting to appraisers that they look at the big picture. At the end of the summer in 2005 we had more than 10,000 homes for sale. Today, about 1,600. Huge difference. To add insult to injury, we have more than 1,700 pending, which means if we didn’t take any new listings we would sell everything in Sacramento County in about 25 days. Home pricing strategies are important, but demand outstrips strategy.
One of my clients in West Sacramento who is getting ready to put her home on the market called yesterday to chat. She wanted to know if we should employ home pricing strategies suggested by an agent at an open house. I told her to stop talking to open house agents. Most of them are buyer’s agents, not listing agents. But I also realize open houses are a religious experience in California. The guy suggested she price her home about 1% below market value.
Hello? 2012 is calling and they want your Obama bobblehead back. That was a good pricing strategy 5 years ago but not today. If you price a home below market, you won’t get as high of a price as you will if you price it at market or slightly above. Buyers for the most part don’t know how much homes cost. They see only what other sellers are asking and base their opinions of value on that. The frenzied demand accelerates those expectations. Prices are going up.
Out of all the home pricing strategies available, the best for this particular market is to be slightly ahead of the curve. Because buyers will pay a fair price plus extra if your home is desirable and the price is reasonable. You don’t have to play games with the pricing or try to be sly. Go to market value, and consider pushing it a hair. The worst thing that could happen is a buyer won’t bridge the gap and the appraisal will come in lower. But buyers will offer more.

Remodeled Lake View Home in Laguna West
9200 Bearint Way, Elk Grove, CA offers a view of the lake from Master
I love this street in Laguna West and this will be my third lake view home in Laguna West that I’ll sell on this particular street, I don’t know why. It’s not like I target sellers in this area or go looking for them, but they find me because I sell a heck-ofalotta homes in Elk Grove. And I truly do love this street. It’s called Bearint. I have no idea what it means. Perhaps it’s a famous Sacramentan or sport’s guy. Yeah, that’s probably it, a sport’s guy. So, I would not know.
You will notice the community the minute you drive into Laguna West. For starters, there are trees framed and planted in the street in front of each house. Of course, the lake is right around the corner, too, and you can see views of this lake from the Master bedroom retreat. Imagine tapping the keys of your laptop early in the morning and watching the sunrise creep over the lake. It’s really beautiful. Plus, you get lake access with the house.
This lake view home in Laguna West has 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Yes, before you ask, there is a downstairs’ bedroom with a bath. Also a formal living room and a separate formal dining room, with a lovely chandelier. The kitchen is open to the family room, and has been updated. The cabinets are a yummy dark chocolate. All the wood cabinets in the home and railings, including the open second floor rails, are dark wood.
Counters are granite, stainless appliances, and ceramic floor in the kitchen. Except for the bath and first floor bedroom, the rest of the flooring is hickory wood. Very sheik. There are also newer light fixtures, a pre-rinse faucet, and pendants hanging over the kitchen island. Laundry is off the kitchen. Attached is a four-car garage, and a pull-through with a gate to the alley leaves room to park a boat.
You won’t be disappointed when you view this stunning lake view home in Laguna West. Come to our open house on Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 PM on March 5th, 2017.

Realtor Presents Affordable Elk Grove Halfplex for Sale
Front view of Elk Grove halfplex 6303 Kilconnell Dr
This Elk Grove halfplex is one of three at the moment for sale in the Elk Grove ZIP of 95758, but it is the only halfplex west of Franklin. The other two halfplexes cost $100K more+ and they are situated in Laguna, whereas this beautiful halfplex is located in the popular Foulks Ranch neighborhood of Elk Grove.
The seller originally purchased this halfplex as an owner-occupied residence for her mother, but the home is now rented to a lovely and cooperative tenant who is moving out on or before Halloween.
High ceilings create a sense of spaciousness in this Elk Grove halfplex
Along with the curvy architecture over the doorway and contemporary wall cutout, you will notice the ceiling in the living room is unusually high, probably 12 or 14 feet. It features a ceiling fan with a light that is most likely remote controlled, and the flooring looks like real hardwood, even though it is not.
The dining area is a breakfast nook nestled by the bay window in the kitchen toward the front of the home. There is a large kitchen, with a refrigerator, electric range, dishwasher and modern chocolate cabinets.
This Elk Grove halfplex features a large fenced yard with a patio.
Each of the bedrooms in this Elk Grove halfplex allows for outside access to the yard through sliding doors. There are 2 bedrooms and the bath is updated. One bedroom faces the enormous back yard, and the other bedroom faces a side patio. The yard is fenced, so you can have a dog, if you like. Plus, there is a bonus shed at the back of the property line for storage.
We call the attached garage a one-and-one-half tandem, meaning you could fit 2 tiny cars or one and a half regular-sized vehicles. Or, you can just park in the driveway like most people prefer and use the garage for its intended purposes of laundry and storage.
6303 Kilconnell Dr is exclusively offered for sale by Elizabeth Weintraub at Lyon Real Estate, 916.233.6759, at $199K. Open Sunday, Oct. 2, 2016, from 2 to 4 PM.
