Best of Tour 2.10.2015

BEST OF TOUR

Not to be confused with the Board of REALTORS “Best of Tour” award whereby agents try and coax or pressure their colleagues into signing a petition proclaiming their home the “Best of Tour”, our’s is based upon our personal impression after seeing all of the homes on tour and reporting back to you.

Today’s Best of Tour there were three stand outs:

Belmont:

Belmont’s inventory is still low but this one perked us up. A home on Belmont’s west side under $1,000,000? Ready to move in, this home is great for a first-time buyer tired of renting.

This home underscores why looks can be deceiving. From the outside it looks like just another track home but once inside it is anything but ordinary. From the open floor plan and expansive rooms to the wonderful rear yard. Truly a great find!

If that one is above your comfort zone there’s a home on the water in San Mateo which has been recently upgraded. Best part—you can water ski right from your back yard.

Shiny Penny Tour Day for the Best Bay Area Deals 5.14.2013

You know the market is heating up when agents actually start to list homes at the insane prices some buyers have been paying. We’re not in the business of trash talking overpriced listings but suffice to say there were a lot today—both in Belmont and San Carlos.

But as you probably know we’re here after the Tuesday broker tour to bring you the Best Bay Area Deals, the “Shiny Penney”—the one home that stood out above the rest.

Where we bring you the best of tour each Tuesday.

Today we broke with tradition and found two homes of interest. Both homes are well priced and each offers a unique living setting.

2217 Thurm Avenue is .  They are calling it a 3 bedroom two bath home. What makes this home unique is the setting—you feel as though you are at your own retreat. It sports open beam ceilings which makes the southwestern style motif work so well. Listed by the Gillmartin Goup.

Another home worth honorable mention is the home at 2763 San Carlos Avenue. While San Carlos Avenue can be a busy street, you don’t feel that way when you are in this home. It’s set up from the street on a small bluff and the owners have done an excellent job of orienting the living area so that you feel secluded. Then of course there’s the backyard fireplace and grill that makes for great evening outdoor entertaining. Listed by Premiere Properties.

Best of Tour for May 6th, 2013 – Best Homes From Today’s Tour

Time permitting, we like to spotlight the best home from our weekly Broker tour day. One which we feel is exceptional in one way or another.

Sometimes it’s the amazing view, the fantastic kitchen or the stunning location or landscaping–and other times, it’s about the value.

Today’s Best of Tour in our opinion is the home at 31 Willow Glen Way in San Carlos courtesy REIGN Real Estate.

31 Willow Glen

It offers a great secluded west-side San Carlos location and the home has many opportunities for sweat equity. It’s ideal for somebody that wants to move in to a home today and add more value later my making this diamond in the rough a true gem.

If you can get this home anywhere near it’s listed price of $849,000 one should feel elated they got a great deal.

(Note: No open home time have been posted for this home as of yet).
