FYI Quick Read…

A tight real estate market means the return of bidding wars in certain neighborhoods. Today on MSN, Donna Fuscaldo offers some tips: “To compete in a bidding war, buyers need to prepare financially for the home purchase. They have to be familiar with property values in their target neighborhoods. And they must know what they want.” Solid advice, for sure. But first, find yourself a good realtor. Working at no charge to buyers, a licensed agent will guide you step-by-step and connect you to the home you want. For more info, contact Tracy Do Real Estate.

Mid Century Ranch Home in Prime San Gabriel

List Price $549,000

3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms

1,515 sf • 6,264 sf lot

We see a bit of a bargain here, a 1956 Ranch-style home on a nice street in one of our favorite under-the-radar neighborhoods: North San Gabriel. Pasadena and San Marino are only blocks away.

There are wood floors, a handsome fireplace, and sliding glass doors to a flat and spacious back yard. The lines on these Ranch homes are wonderful, providing excellent flow and a good use of space.

The house needs work, but at this price it’s well worth it. “Finished” homes of similar size in the area sell for considerably more — and quickly. Get this one while it lasts by contacting Tracy Do Real Estate.

Mid-Century Post and Beam in Pasadena

List Price $869,000

3 bedrooms • 1.75 bathrooms

1,894 sf • 9,433 sf lot

This is a very cool house in the desirable San Rafael Hills neighborhood of Pasadena. Feeling private and secluded, it’s close to Old Town and other shopping/dining areas. Really the best of both worlds.

Its Mid-Century modern traits include high, open-beam ceilings and huge windows where other homes have walls. The space is well thought out, so it feels larger than its approx. 1900 sq feet.

There’s wonderful indoor-outdoor flow and an abundance of mature trees surrounding this two-level residence. A wood burning fireplace, re-done kitchen, large two-car garage… it’s a post-and-beam jewel with a lot to offer. For a tour, contact Tracy Do Real Estate.
