Hey See This New Listing: Remodeled Home in Foothill Farms
5901 Meghan Way, Sacramento, CA 95842 is for sale at $180K.
My new listing hit the market yesterday, it’s under $200,000, and it’s a remodeled home in Foothill Farms. That’s all you really need to know but I’ll give you the rest of the details. The living room has laminate flooring that looks like real wood, and crown molding. You will also note an oversized stained glass front door and a ceiling fan.
The seller is a house painter by profession, evident by some of the two-toned rooms. You’ll find ceramic flooring in the kitchen and dining area, an updated kitchen with granite counters, newer cabinets, stainless appliances, and plenty of storage space. Seller says the refrigerator can stay, but you’ll need to ask for it in the purchase contract.
One thing you need to know about this new listing and the remodeled home in Foothill Farms is it is a short sale, and not just any ordinary short sale, it is a Freddie Mac short sale with two loans. This means it will take a considerable amount of time to negotiate, perhaps 90 days. So enter that time frame into your equation for buying a home. If it works for you, then this might be a good time to buy a home in Foothill Farms.
The home features 3 bedrooms and a remodeled bath, with ceramic floors and a new vanity. There is also a big back porch that is enclosed and presently used for storage. Of course, the garage holds two cars and is attached. The seller will remove the above ground pool in the back yard.
The main thing this home needs is to repair or replace the siding. For that reason, it probably will not pass inspection for an FHA or VA loan. But if you’re willing to fix the siding prior to closing, and that can generally be arranged during your 30-day escrow period after approval, you could probably use a government loan to buy this remodeled home in Foothill Farms.

July 4th Weekend is Blazing Hot for a Sacramento Real Estate Agent
Blame it on the weather. It’s been so hot in Sacramento this week — temps over 100 degrees — that people have reluctantly chosen to sit under a ceiling fan or inside an air-conditioned space, over venturing out into the city to do one’s usual activities. As such, perhaps the July 4th weekend of lying on the sofa, wiping perspiration from one’s brow and contemplating the ceiling is what has generated such an influx of calls to Sacramento real estate agents.
It’s as though the thought might have suddenly dawned on potential sellers that hey, we have a home to sell and, it’s not on the market or, it’s on the market and it’s not selling, time to find a new agent. Because I don’t know what else could have stirred up this sudden and intense listing activity.
Ordinarily, right around the July 4th weekend, business slows down. People go out of town. They visit with relatives — stuff their faces with potato salad and hot dogs — or they go shopping, whatever, they’re not calling real estate agents. But this 4th of July has been anything but quiet. Heck, usually I go out of town for the 4th of July but since I celebrated my 61st birthday in Sausalito last weekend, I figured I can’t be gone two weekends in a row. My phone didn’t ring much last weekend, and even my email was relatively quiet, given the 300 or so emails I receive every day. Email is the bane of my existence but, as a Sacramento real estate agent, it’s necessary.
I can handle the extra business, though. Last year, there were times my inventory consisted of 70+ homes. I had to buy a whole bunch of extra lockboxes. That influx of business caused me to be even more organized and to develop more systems to efficiently manage my operations.
People often think that selling real estate is all about sales. To be really successful, one must think like a small business owner; and it’s a different mindset that is combined with a strong sales ability. I’ve got 3 wonderful agents who support me as my team members, and their livelihood is in my business plan as well. Together, we operate like a well-oiled machine. Focus.
Which allows for the occasional hiccup flow of unexpected business. I don’t want any client to wonder if I’m too busy for them because I will make the time; I treat every client like they are the only client I have. You know why? Because if I don’t, someday they could be the only client I have, and that would be a sorry state of affairs for this Sacramento real estate agent.
Look for a bunch of new listings from this real estate agent on Monday. If you need to buy a home in the four-county area of Sacramento and are having a tough time, call Elizabeth Weintraub, at 916 233 6759. We’ll put you into a home.
