Holden, Home Buyer in Berkeley

Hi, can I see 5360 Boyd Avenue, Oakland? Thanks, Holden

Asked Tue Nov 11 2008, 16:29 by Holden  -  Oakland  -  Home Buying  -  5 answers
Bob Wegener answered:
Holden,

According to the MLS, this property sold July 16th after 14 days on the market, for $649,000.

Sorry, but it appears you're a little late to this party. Let me know what attracted you to this property, besides the obvious bargain asking price, and I can help you find something similar.

Toni, Home Buyer in Orinda

Has this house been sold?

Asked Mon Oct 6 2008, 13:53 by Toni  -  94563  -  Home Buying  -  1 answer
Bob Wegener answered:
Hi Toni,

Do you have any more details on the property in question? I searched the MLS and the foreclosure & preforeclosure listings, and found no property that matches.

If you can either post more info here or email me, I'd be glad to help.

Houses with foundation issues in Orinda

Asked Tue Sep 16 2008, 16:32 by Alisonf  -  Orinda  -  Home Buying  -  3 answers
Bob Wegener answered:
If your friend really likes the property in spite of the foundation issues, he/she can still move ahead.

Are there any reports addressing the issues? There has to be a number ($$$) to fix the problems if there has already been inspections. Build the fix-it numbers into the offer.

If there are no reports, you can get the inspections done during your due diligence period after you get the property under contract.

Orinda is no stranger to houses "settling". Sometimes the settling is normal over time, and other times it can be a serious problem. An experienced Realtor familiar with soils can help.

If your friend wants the property, there is a price that works. Getting to that price is the challenge. - Tue Sep 16 2008, 17:07
Greg, Home Buyer in California

where do you think a 2500 sq ft house in orinda will be in december?

Asked Wed Aug 13 2008, 22:17 by Greg  -  Orinda  -  Home Buying  -  3 answers
Bob Wegener answered:
Hi Greg,

Knowing only square footage and trying to price a home is crazy. There are so many factors in valuing a home that the only true way to answer your question is by giving a range. The low end would be about $825,000 and the high end is almost unlimited. A completely dialed-in house on a spectacular lot, the spectacular lot being the key, could fetch above $2 million.

As you can see, a lot more information than square footage is needed. To get a more accurate price, more detail is needed. Do you want a house in move-in condition? Do you want a fixer? How important is the lot size and lay-out? Hillside or flat? In what neighborhood?

Another factor is where will the market be this coming December? Nobody knows. You can get numbers for what is happening now, but there is no such crystal ball for December. Orinda does hold up better than most areas.

If you narrow your parameters, you can get more specific numbers related to what is happening now. - Thu Aug 14 2008, 07:46
Andrew, Just Looking in San Francisco

Is the West Oakland real estate a good investment for flipping?

Asked Tue Apr 22 2008, 16:08 by Andrew  -  94607  -  Market Conditions  -  5 answers
Bob Wegener answered:
By "Flipping", I am assuming you mean to purchase, add value, and then sell quickly at a profit. Any area can work for "Flipping", if you do one thing right. What is that one thing? Buy at a good price. The saying goes, "You make your money on the purchase". Figure a price that the property will sell for fixed up within one week of going back on the market. Back up from their to figure the purchase price you must have that builds in the profit margin you require. Use conservative numbers. Good Luck!!! - Tue Apr 22 2008, 16:29
