Best of the El Dorado Hills

Blog by DeeDee Riley
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.

Best Deal for Cameron Park Vicinity on July 12, 2009

Jul. 12, 2009
Categorized in: Best Deals

 

 

Country Club Drive, Cameron Park, CA - In 2005 when this sold last it was a "great deal" at $202 per square foot.  Today it is only $102 per square foot making it the lowest price per square foot home for sale in the Cameron Park area.  Unfortunately there was only one picture available to share with you so it is hard to tell the condition inside but at this price it is definitely worth a look.  I can tell you from MLS that it is approximately 2449 square feet in size, with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.  It was built in 1990 on .28 acres.  It has a fireplace in the master and it has a built in pool.  It is listed today at $250,000

To give you perspective on this price here are some statistics from our Lyon Trendgraphix reports for June.  There were 39 total sales for the Cameron Park area.  Of those, 10 were bank owned (REO) and sold for the average square price of $114.  The other 29 non bank owned, sold for an average square foot price of $176.

Jose Court, Cameron Park, CA - Though not the lowest price per square foot for the area, this "Best Deal" sounds almost to good to be true.  If only I had money to invest myself.... Anyway, this bank owned property was built in 1992 on just under 1/3 acre with approximately 3030 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, an upstairs loft/bonus room, hardwood floors, and a built-in pool.  It was recently updated with new carpet, paint, and granite kitchen counters.   It is listed today at $339,900 or $112.18 per square foot.

For perspective on this great price:  our April Trendgraphix statistics show that 6 bank owned homes sold at an average square foot price of $137.  There were 15 non-bank owned homes that sold at an average square foot price of $172.
