Good Advice from Our Friends at Zillow
From real estate website Zillow and author Jill Simmons: “Choosing the right agent is more crucial than ever in this type of environment. You need to find someone who is skilled at negotiations and knows how to handle competitive offer situations.” Read her article about the market’s “new normal,” and remember: the caliber of agent she’s referring to is exactly what you’ll find at Tracy Do Real Estate.

Textbook Modern circa 1965 in Glendale
List Price $865,000
3 bedrooms • 2.5 bathrooms
2,788 sf • 7,913 sf lot
There’s a fine line between coincidence and a bona fide trend. Whichever it is, LA-area buyers have reason to rejoice: yet another stunning mid century modern home has come to market, joining recent entries we posted on 3/25 and 3/19. This one was the personal residence of noted architect Denver Markwith Jr., located on a quiet street in the Rossmoyne/Verdugo Woodlands of Glendale.
The place is so well preserved it almost feels like a time capsule. Amazingly, this museum-quality home is something of a value considering its size and location — to say nothing of its intrinsic beauty and overall functionality as a modern-day living space. For a private tour, contact Tracy Do Real Estate.

Prices ⇡ Sales ⇣ What Gives?
A glance at the real estate headlines these past two days could come with a caution sign: beware of whiplash.
3/26: “Home Prices Post Sharp Increases in January”
3/27: “Pending Home Sales Flat…”
“…with Low Housing Supply.” And therein lies the rub. Alejandro Lazo’s pair of articles in the LA Times might seem contradictory at first. But a closer read reveals the Catch-22 of our current housing market: High demand + low supply = increased competition = upward pressure on prices. Of course the sales numbers are flat — if there were enough homes out there, those stats would likely be sky high! Bottom line, it’s a very good time to sell your home. Interest rates remain low and in many areas, values have returned to levels not seen in years.
Finding out what your property is worth is easy. Just call, text or email Tracy Do Real Estate. With over ten years of successful sales and a long list of happy clients, Tracy will personally provide you with a market valuation and will answer all your questions, too. No cost. No obligation.

Buying a Home is 44% Cheaper than Renting
Better to own, or better to rent? It’s a classic conundrum with many variables. For this recent study, real estate website Trulia assumed that a buyer will get a 3.5% mortgage rate, reside in the 25% tax bracket and will stay in their home for 7 years. However you can adjust that equation by clicking here and playing with the map (above) interactively.
In the majority of cases, the better decision — in purely financial terms — is to buy your residence. And a great way to make that happen is by connecting with Tracy Do Real Estate. Tracy’s top-shelf services come without any cost to homebuyers. So why wait? Click here to send Tracy your personal message, and get started in the search for a home that you’ll love and can improve your financial outlook too.

The Home of Modernist Robert Langdon, AIA
List Price $945,000
3 bedrooms • 2 bathrooms
1,880 sf • 11,725 sf lot
Noted architect Langdon, along with partner Ernest Wilson Jr., were the designers of the nation’s first all-reflective glass building, the CNA Tower, and also the Getty Villa in Malibu. Langdon built this house for himself in 1950 while serving as an assistant architect for USC. Occupying a flat parcel in Pasadena’s desirable San Rafael Hills, his personal residence embodies the very best of mid-century modern function and form.
The place hasn’t changed hands in nearly 50 years — and presents much like a museum piece. Other than a few minor exceptions, the home stands today as it was originally built, with an open floor plan and walls of glass that embrace the outdoors.
From the swimming pool to the abundance of mature Oak trees, everything here comes together naturally and seamlessly, just the way Langdon intended it. For a private tour of this remarkable property, contact Tracy Do Real Estate.
