Traditional home sale prices hit new low in Kings Deer

2011-03-21T13:45:00.000-07:00

For only the second time since 2004, a Kings Deer home over 5000 square feet that is NOT a foreclosure, has sold for under $500,000 (less than $100/sf). The first time was in 2008 and it was a divorce/financial distress sale and the home had been on the market for nearly a year. The most recent sale was in December 2010. The home at 710 W Trumpeters CT built in 1997 has 5 beds, 4 baths, 3 car garage and 2.5 acres in the trees. According to the listing agent, it was in beautiful condition and the cash buyers got a great deal. It sold for $490,000, setting a dangerous precedent for future traditional home sales in the neighborhood. This sale was a corporate relocation, so the sellers were incented to sell it quickly in order to take advantage of their company's relocation assistance package.

Woodmoor Home Prices Continue to Decline

2010-08-30T12:40:00.000-07:00

Home prices in the Woodmoor area are still on the decline, as we move into the slower time in our local real estate market (fall). The kids are back in school and showings have slowed down significantly. This gives buyers greater bargaining capabilities as fewer buyers are competing for the same homes.
