472 Miller Creek Road

What is the deal with this house? It has been under remodel construction for years.

Initially, when it was sold I thought the guy was going to flip it, but it has been YEARS since then.

Any ideas Marinwooders???

Marinwood Market Has Hit Bottom!

Yes, it's true - I think the Marinwood market has hit the bottom - We can only go up from here! If you are waiting for the worst day of the Marinwood market, you probably missed it - But don't worry, there are still good deals to be had.

Why do I think Marinwood has hit the bottom? Both 500 Miller Creek Road and 104 Blackstone went into contract within 2 days of being put on the market - That is a sign my friends!!

SHORT SALE - Sad to see this great house back on the market as a short sale again - Buyers paid $874,000 for it back in 2006 - Then put it on as a short sale at $799,000 this past summer, but it didn't sell. Now it's back on at $599,999. Remember, with short sales, the price is not set until the bank determines what they will accept.

This is a nicely remodeled, big house with a huge, flat lot - It's right on the corner of Queenstone and Miller Creek, which is great if you are a hiker - Unfortunately, it's right at the bus stop and stop sign so you get a lot of traffic noise here too.

THIS IS NOW A SHORT SALE!!!!!!!!!

Cute house, good price - Very close to Cobblestone VIP - This house should go quick.

It definitely needs a new kitchen, so whoever buys it should start getting quotes once escrow begins so the work can be done before moving in!

15 Valleystone Drive

Sold for almost 100K under asking - OUCH!!!

-----------------------

Nice big house, with nice finishes right in the Blackstone Valley - Only a few houses from the Blackstone Valley trailhead, which is great if you're a hiker (although there is probably some parking traffic during the day).

The problem with this side of Valleystone is it backs up to the hill, so you are blocked from southern exposure, making the backyard small and the inside of the house dark. Another funky thing about the house is the bonus room, which takes up half the garage - A word of wisdom for everyone out there - Don't mess with / convert your garage!!! Buyers don't like it.

We put this deal together off the market - Our clients really wanted to be in this area of Marinwood - The area I call 'Cobblestone VIP' - Apparently, this is now THE area of Marinwood to be in - Even more so than Quietwood.

The rumors are true; our clients will be making this house bigger and better - When this house is complete, Cobblestone VIP will be even more appealing than it is now.

I can't believe this sold so quick and for so close to asking!!! Proves there is no logic to this market!!

Why is this remodeled house, that is not a short sale or foreclosure, being sold for only $599,000?... Cause it's right on the corner of Miller Creek Road, Marinwood Avenue and Blackstone, meaning the back of the house is the Marinwood freeway off ramp - Basically, you get all day road noise and traffic! For buyers who want a remodeled home at a good price and don't mind being near traffic, then this is your house!

**WITHDRAWN FROM MARKET**

Cute house on Quietwood, bordering the shortcut path, but on the north side of the street, meaning it doesn't back up to open space.

Has what appears to be a late 80s / early 90s updating throughout - The weakest part of this house is the backyard, which is dominated by a brick-patio pool. Pools are nice, but not when they take up the entire backyard! I think it's priced right, especially seeing as it's on Quietwood... although it's a little far from the Quietwood hub.

Within 16 days this house came on the market and closed! It was an all cash deal and the house was priced right - Buyers purchased it as a rental - Seems Marinwood is a more appealing place to park money than the stock market! Word on the street is the VIP Cobblestoners aren't happy about this staying a rental...

This house has been on the market FOREVER - Originally a regular sale (Started at $649,500 with W), then a short sale and now a bank owned property. The house needs to be completely gutted and it's on a busy street - If you like having a train of cars in front of your house every weekday morning, then make an offer! It would be an amazing deal for someone wanting DSD and purchase price below 550K!

This is a great house - Nice remodel (except for what appears to be an original kitchen) - Really large home with huge backyard, private and it backs up to Regency Estates - Why didn't it sell?... Bad timing!

Word on the street is the buyers bought one of the estate properties on Blackstone before selling this - I was surprised they didn't make the purchase contingent on them selling this house, but I'm sure they had a good reason for not doing that!

The sellers decided to rent it out for now - Hope the tenants don't trash this great house!

Located on a tucked away street that not many people know about - It's close to the VIP Cobblestone zone, but more private. Why hasn't it sold??? Everything about it is old - the priceat $655,000 is finally near where it should be...

This is a nicely updated house on a big corner lot, right next to open space - It's a more private part of Marinwood, but also a bit louder, since it's right next to the freeway.

Sellers (as of 4.16.08) switched agents (now using W) and lowered the price again - Good luck!

I had always heard this house was one of the original ranch houses, when Marinwood was all grazing fields for cattle - The rumor was the house was moved to where it was in order to give room for the Marinwood development.

This is going to be a hard house to sell - Funky look, right on the busy section of Miller Creek road and it's surrounded by condos - But, someone is going to get a great deal on this house.
