West Menlo Park
January home sales in west Menlo Park got off to a hot start this year with particularly strong activity near the Alameda/County side of town. A charming 3 bedroom home on a 5512sf lot on Lucky Ave sold last week with 17 offers. As I blogged earlier this month, a new construction contemporary home on Orange Ave not only introduced a new style to the neighborhood, but a new price point as well. It sold for $3,050,000 ($1,089/sf)! And patience paid off for the owners of 1351 Sherman which was originally listed on 10/20/13 for $2.450m, withdrawn from the MLS on 12/9 and re-listed last week for slightly less at $2.398m. It sold in 3 days and rumor has it that it went above asking. In total, 19 Menlo Park homes went into contract in January as compared to 12 homes last January.
If you’re thinking about Selling, there is a pipeline of Menlo Park buyers in all price categories so it is an excellent time to evaluate your options. Please contact me if you’d like to discuss in greater detail.
