As "J in SM" noted in the comments section of my last post, this house here sold in a very similar fashion to 1615 Ashland.
Long term owners, 3 bedrooms, old construction, listed for $1mm and sold quickly for over list price.
In comparing the two, I think I like the Ashland house better -- but I haven't seen either in person. The Ashland house has a smaller lot, but it seems to have a lot more character and an interesting looking backyard setup. I think Ashland wins for location but I could be totally wrong on that since I don't know the area as well...This house on 30th seems better for someone who wants to do a major remodel or new construction since the lot is bigger.
Spring selling season is here and good properties priced realistically are selling quickly. I think it is somewhat telling that both of these last two properties had long term owners...it is a lot harder to sell something which was purchased in 2005 which you are now underwater on.
I was wondering if anyone thinks the new district policy of recalling all LAUSD students back from SMMUSD is going to effect the RE market.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the SMDP, all 1,200 current SMMUSD students now on permits would have to go back to their home schools in the LAUSD in September.
NO WAY anyone wants to go back to Mar Vista or Venice once they are in the SM school system.
Do you think we will see a big bump in sales?
No.
ReplyDeleteAshland is the better location as you surmised. I thought it would have gone for more than the house on 30th. I don't know either house so am only guessing. This shows the continuing strength of the SM market in general.
