Well, a lot has come on the market in Belmont over the past week. We have a few very unique homes, as well as a few east of El Camino Real that have come on. This is week 2 with no new condo listings. Here we go!

1010 Misty Lane, Belmont. Listed by Mary Yeargan of Remax Today. This is a beautiful home on a quiet street where not many homes come up for sale often. Very contemporary floor plan, but can use a face lift. I don’t think this one will sit on the market long.

3210 Longfellow, Belmont, listed by Vicki Ferrando of Intero Real Estate. It’s quite a climb to get up there, but no worries, there is an elevator! Not very often you see an elevator in a home in Belmont. This home is updated, has a nice floor plan and great entertaining space.

2019 Arbor Ave., Belmont listed by Christine Beard of Remax Today. This home has a lot of space, is completely updated, and an open floor plan.

604 Southview Ct. Belmontlisted by Janet Pepe Davis of Carlmont Associates. This home has very spacious bedrooms, nice views, and a good floor plan with a secluded master suite. This home also has a pool.

528 Davey Glen Belmont, Listed by Bryce Cook of Remax Today. This home has a lot of space and great outdoor space for the money. Probably one of the best deals in Belmont right now. This home was on the market previously, but at the new price, it should sell rather quickly.

1424 Sixth Ave. Belmont, listed by Weng Chia of City Life Real Estate. This home has charm and a lot of character and a bonus room.

332 Malcolm Ave. Belmont, listed with Robin Wrigley of Intero Real Estate. This home has a level yard, good floor plan, and is priced just under $800K. For the price and location, I wouldn’t be surprised if this home went with multiple offers. Yes, we are seeing some!

519 Cambridge Belmont, listed with Gregory Cohen of Coldwell Banker, this home is completely updated and has a living room and family room, an open floor plan, a nicely landscaped yard and a spa. Move in ready, and priced right.

520 Chesterton Ave. listed by Justine Ford of Remax Today. This home has an updated kitchen and and a good floor plan, but is also competing with other homes in the neighborhood that came on recently. There has been a sudden increase of inventory on the east side of Belmont this week.

506 Middlesex Rd. Belmont. Listed with Glenn Sennet of Coldwell Banker, this home has a lot of space for the price and will probably go with multiple offers per my conversation with the listing agent.

1105 North Rd. Belmont. Listed with Maria Schuster of Prudential Realty. While not technically a new listing, there has been a major price reduction from $689,000 to $599,000. While not the best location, the price correction should attract attention, however it is a short sale, so any potential buyer will most likely need some patience.

501 Middlesex Belmont. Listed with Tara Jaramillo of Coldwell Banker. This home is about 5 years old, and is completely remodeled from the foundation up! It boasts modern finishes and an open floor plan, plus a lot of space. Shouldn’t last long!

If you would like more information about any of these homes, don’t hesitate to contact us!

2227 Coronet Blvd. Belmont, CA. Listed by Rick Barrelier of Reliance Realty Group.

2406 Casa Bona Ave. Belmont, CA. Listed by Janet Pepe Davis of Carlmont Associates.

501 Middlesex Rd. Belmont, CA. Listed by Tara Jaramillo of Coldwell Banker, Woodside.

533 Seagate Way
Belmont, Ca. Listed by Kendra Wall of Vanguard Properties. This is a Bank Owned Property (REO).

808 Ruth Ave. Belmont, CA Listed by Loren Holden of Alain Pinel Realtors.

1500 Sixth Ave. Belmont, CA. Listed by Dominic Nicoli of Intero Real Estate. This is also a bank owned property.

While Belmont is generally not an area heavily saturated with bank owned properties and/or short sales, it seems as though we are seeing an increase.

The Arbor  Day Foundation has named Belmont “Tree City USA” for the second time now.   The “Tree City USA” program is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation, who set the standards for becoming a “Tree City USA” community.  So, what makes Belmont a “Tree City USA” winner?

 1.  The city of Belmont has a tree board or department.

 2.  The city of Belmont has a tree care ordinance.

 3.  Belmont has a comprehensive community forestry program.

 4.  Belmont also has an Arbor Day observance and proclomation. 

While I have talked to a number of people that are at times frustrated with all the restrictions the city has regarding trees, they do keep our community beautiful, improve our air quality, and help keep property values stable.

We have been asked time and time again by our clients about why we need to do a property inspection and pest inspection before putting their home on the market.   Let’s look at why this has become a common practice among agents.  Suppose you recieve an offer on a property, then get the pest inspection, and the inspection shows about $20,000 worth of suggested repairs.  The prospective buyers will most likely ask for a price reduction, therefore bringing all parties back to the negotiating table, and possibly risk closing the sale.  The other reason property inspections are reccomended to be done up front is for the purpose of pricing the home appropriately.  Suppose a home is priced at a $1,000,000, but there is a severe foundation issue, or drainage issues that may cost about $50, 000 to repair.  Once inspections are done, again, the prospective buyers will likely ask for a price reduction, have the sellers make the repairs, or walk away.  Should they walk away, the risk is that the property will sit on the market for a longer period of time, possibly face a price reduction greater than the cost of the repairs, therefore affecting the sellers net proceeds.  It is also imperative to work with inspectors that are reputable and thorough, and always get additional inspectors out to the property if there are any items in question.  Furthermore, should you want to fix something on the inspection report prior to putting the home on the market, you can.  If you want to fix something once you have an offer, you are obligated to hire a licensed contractor, even if it’s a job that you can do yourself.  That being said, the few hundred dollars shelled out for an inspection is money well spent and can save you thousands of dollars should the property have a major defect that can only be detected by hiring the appropriate experts.
