El Dorado Hills, California
Welcome to my Best of the El Dorado Hills weblog! The Hills I refer to here are the foothills east of the Sacramento Valley. My inspiration for this blog came as a result of my Real Estate profession where touring homes and knowing the inventory are some of the best parts of my job. Though my predominant intention here is to tell you about the homes for sale that have wow’d me, I also want to include what I consider to be among “other bests” of living in this wonderful area. You can search by categories, by clicking on the links below, or click on a tag word under one of my postings for more blogs about that subject. The prices shown on each blog is as of the date written. I'll try and update them when time allows. Please keep in mind that sometimes the pictures don't do a home justice, but they are what the listing agent has submitted to the MLS and what I have to work with. For more pictures or information on any of these postings or for help in locating similar homes available in our area, please contact me by clicking on the “Email Me” link below. Be sure and check out My Favorite Links for more helpful sites. Blog postings with * following the name indicate that the home has been sold and is no longer available.

Spring Meadow Road, Cameron Park, CA - This beautiful country estate sold back in July 2006 for just under $3 Million and today, sadly, it has gone back to the bank but the potential for it are huge. The home, built in 1991, is in the gated neighborhood of Cameron Estates where it sits on approximately 5 oak studded acres with its own private gate. Along with the 7297 square foot main house there is also a guest house, pool, spa, pool house, a lighted tennis court, 4 car garage, and RV parking with hookups. The inside is very dated and would need to be completely redone. The grounds have been neglected and need some work. All in all though this is a great find and could once again be the magnificent place it was not so long ago. It is currently listed at $1,489,937. For more information or pictures please call or email me. Too late for this one; it sold 10-7-2008.

Bertella Road, Cameron Park, CA - The delightful English country home had my interest from the moment I pulled up to it. It is only winter so many of the plants I saw walking up to the front door are dormant, but I could still imagine their beauty in bloom and see that the landscape fit the style of the home so perfectly. The home, built in 2001, is situated on approximately 1/2 acre and has views to the east from the front, including local views of Cameron Park. Inside the 3577 square foot house are 6 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, and custom everything from cabinetry to wall finishes. The kitchen was amazing with 2 full sinks, a Dacor double oven, 2 Bosch dishwashers, a large island with a warming drawer, granite counters. cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a gourmet gas cook-top with a pot filler. The owners had the back yard designed and began the project but are relocating. It will be up to the buyer to see it through. It is a very private and beautiful lot, however, and looks quite promising. It is listed at $849,000. I would love to represent you as your buyer's agent on this best find. Please contact me for more pictures or information. (This home sold 4-4-2008.)

These are homes for our foothill area in the MLS (multiple listing service) that have the lowest price per square foot. I've excluded those in a distress situation (short sales) and those needing alot of updating or repair. Today (April 3, 2009,) I have decided not to include bank owned homes in these "best deals" either as the banks have no concept of value. They will lower the price of a home to whatever it takes to get it off of their books. If I use this concept for my search, it will be easier to tell when our values are truely going back up. If you are looking specifically for bank owned homes, please visit my website at DeeDeeRiley.com where I have hot links at the top of the page for bank owned homes in El Dorado Hills, Folsom, and the Cameron Park Vicinity.
Please keep in mind that these are not necessarily the lowest priced houses for these areas. The reason for this is that generally as a home's square footage goes up, the price per square foot comes down.
