2559 Edgewater Dr, Santa Rosa - Reduced

If you're not familiar with the Northpoint community in Southwest Santa Rosa, you should take some time to drive over and take a look. This is a newer development that was built by Pacific Mountain Partners which included single-family homes and townhomes. This particular home is the largest townhome floorplan which features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. There are pluses and a few minuses here, but overall, it's a pretty good value and these homes were well built and included nice standard features.

One of the big upsides for the townhomes is the HUGE garages. This is a 3-story unit and the entire first floor is a garage. It's tandem, but widens out once you get past the door for a really nice area. This homeowner turned part of the garage into a bar/rec room. A small back yard is also part of the deal, but it is only accessible through the garage. This particular plan has all 3 bedrooms on the 3rd floor, which is nice if you have children and want everyone on the same floor together. Other features include a separate living room and family room, dining room and nice size kitchen with a substantial island.

This townhome was originally listed at 499K, but the price was recently reduced to 485K. If a single-family home is more your style, take a drive around the neighborhood as there are four or five of these for sale right now as well. For only 30K more than the townhome, 2743 Desert Rose Ln just came on the market for 515K.

910 Cedarwood Lane, Petaluma - Price Update

The subject of my first post was this little Petaluma house near Lakeville. I felt the home was overpriced and should be listed around 519K to be competitive. It looks like they just lowered the price to 513K, which is still $473 a square foot, but more realistic and reasonable. The home appears to be in good shape, so now might be the time to make an offer.
