SubscribeTales From the Front – The World of Palo Alto Area Real Estate 10/16/09
October 16, 2009
Today was re-tour day in Palo Alto. When the price of a home is reduced, or the listing agent is trying to generate some interest in a stale listing, they “re-tour” it, or have it on broker’s tour again. Today we visited three great properties that are looking for new owners and are on tour following price reductions.
First up was a Crescent Park contemporary at 1012 Forest Avenue, listed by Alan Dunckel and Derk Brill of Alain Pinel Realtors in Palo Alto. Since there isn’t an actual Alain Pinel at that office, if you ask for him, you will be connected to Alan Dunckel, who is a nice guy and a good agent and his name is close enough. They have just reduced the price on this home from $2,395,000 to $2,195,000. Not bad for a 4 year old home in that neighborhood. It will have an open house on Saturday and Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30.
Next we moved a little South to 2145 Emerson Street in equally shi-shi Old Palo Alto. This newer traditional home is listed by Lisa Liu of Alain Pinel Realtors for $2,095,000, down from $2,295,000. At 2248sf on a 5000sf lot, it’s a cozy home, with great details, and great natural lighting. Open Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30.
Saving the best for last is my Intero colleague David Troyer’s listing at 75 Coronado Avenue in Los Altos. This new home is 6721 square feet on two levels on a 14233sf lot. Using modern Craftsman architecture and high ceilings, even the basement feels open and spacious, and it has great finishes and details throughout. Normally shown by appointment only, I’ll be there this Sunday from 1:30 to 4:30. Please stop by!
If you would like more information on any of these or other homes for sale in the area, send me an email, or call me at 650-450-0450.
Have a great weekend!
