Then the interior and exterior cleanup are completed. Let’s not forget the windows have to sparkle. The yards need to be greened up and bark, tree trimming, and fence repairs are.so important to the curb appeal. The staging and then the photography session are scheduled. Last, the keys, showing instructions, pest and roof reports, as well as the natural hazard report disclosure. A review of final pricing, the showing instructions, and the keys.
These properties are high in demand. Priced just under $600,000. Stay tuned to the blog for the street addresses when they go live on the market. The sellers are lovely people and have done a great job getting all the vendors paid and keeping the yards watered.

Sac Beer Week Celebrated at Selland’s Market Cafe on Broadway
Pastrami is not a thing I long for, do not dream about, never buy at the grocery store, but it was our intended purpose yesterday to visit Selland’s Market Cafe on Broadway in Land Park and consume pastrami. Man, I remember when Selland first put out reports that it would build another Kitchen in that location on 10th and Broadway. We were so excited. That’s one of our favorite restaurants, and the only reason we don’t go there more often is it’s a hassle to get a reservation and a longer ways to drive.
When we heard it was coming to Land Park, we were besides ourselves with giddiness. Yes, we could crawl home if we had to. We could finally throw caution to the wind and enjoy those wine flights without one of us having to be the designated driver. But then, none of that came to pass. Selland’s Market Cafe was deemed a better fit for the demographics of our neighborhood. Home of the dinner for two with a bottle of wine for $25.
Generally, the lines are long and the parking lot is insufferable. You can’t even pull out on 9th. You’ve got to head the wrong way into Midtown. So perhaps this is more a Midtown restaurant than a Land Park dining spot. But with the prices of homes in Land Park lately, who can afford to eat out anyway?
My husband heard it was a celebration of pastrami and a pale ale yesterday. He chose the Nice to Meet You pale ale, while I selected the more aptly named pale ale for my age, Memory Upgrade, and we’re not talking about computers. The pastrami is house made, and so utterly tender it fell apart in pieces. My entire sandwich pretty much disintegrated. Plus, I had no fork just two steak knives, for some reason.
Sauerkraut and pickles fell onto my plate, along with the sauce. I just used my fingers to clean it up, and then handed my plate to my husband who finished off the little pieces. No photo because I was too busy eating.
And staring at those modern houses that were recently built on Yale Street, which face the freeway. Cool design. Awful location. The last 3 that sold this year closed between $620K and $629K. As a top Sacramento Realtor I had to ask the question of who would buy a home facing the freeway like that? But I know the answer. Today’s Millennials, LOL. Interestingly enough, all 3 buyers for those homes were represented by out-of-area agents. Perhaps they came from the Bay Area where freeway noise is considered a good location.
Yet, I have this perfectly good Land Park listing at 709 7th Avenue, a few houses away from the freeway wall on Santa Buena. Yes, come see this two bedroom, two bath with a bonus room at $399K. Which is open today, May 20th, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Come on by. Hey, you can’t hear a sound inside this adobe built home.
Tip: a good time of day to stop at Selland’s Market Cafe is after the lunch rush and before the dinner crowd arrives. We were there around 2:00 PM. I also recommend the Memory Upgrade pale ale. It’s from San Francisco, a hazy pale ale from Barebottle Brewing Company. Creamy. Just the right bite of citrus.
Buying a New Home in Land Park Sacramento
When I talk with people I haven’t talked with for years, they often ask if I am living in the same home in Land Park, as though the first thing they would do if they were selling 100 homes in Sacramento year after year would be to buy a new home. Not because I need a new home, mind you, but because I could. They ask I suppose because my existing home is not a mansion nor an estate, and that’s what they would buy. It’s just a plain ol’ single level home, around 2,000 square feet in Land Park.
It’s not located on a premiere winding street in Land Park and there is no view of William Land Park. There is no second or third floor. No marble floors with floor-to-ceiling columns. No four-car garage. No pool in the back yard. There is nothing all that remarkable about our home in Land Park. It suits our needs, and we’re happy with it.
But people are still astonished that we haven’t traded up or built our own mini-mansion because it’s something that most other people would do, I guess. I think buying a larger home is one of those items on a list when people play what one would do if one won the lottery. A larger home means more to clean, higher taxes and more crap that could go wrong. But that’s me. I’m also over 60 and less inclined to move again. My husband echoes that sentiment.
Fortunately, my clients often think differently and they might move every 5 to 7 years. I met with clients a few days ago who buy homes dirt cheap, remodel them and move up. It’s called buy, fix up and sell. There’s nothing wrong with that approach and, in fact, it’s a method I used myself over the years. We all have our different dreams and things we reach for. And that’s OK.
I dream of travel. I love to see new places, encounter different cultures, meet new people who can’t understand anything I say and vice versa (and I’m not just talking about the South). This morning I received a digital version of the Four Seasons magazine and was sidetracked for a while, reading about gourmet street food in Singapore, Budapest theatres and how to get a free night in Langkawi.
But a new place among Land Park homes for sale is not on the horizon for us. Our present home is just fine, even though we’ve lived here forever. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in Land Park, please call Elizabeth Weintraub at 916.233.6759. I know just about every inch of my leafy neighborhood.
