This home is newly built (2014) and has three bedrooms and three baths in over 1600 sf. It has a double garage but no yard. Since it isn't in the "nice" redeveloped part of North Hollywood (some people call this area No-No Hollywood) we weren't sure what the activity would be, and we priced it along with the comps -- at $530,000.
Within four days after listing, we already had seven offers, and the price started to climb. In some cases, agents and their buyers were not even waiting for counter offers, they were just throwing new, higher offers at us instead. The seller and I finally cut off all the bidding at $575,000 and accepted one of the offers. Would their be an appraisal problem? Probably, but all of the high bidders had removed the appraisal contingency. This means that even if they couldn't get a loan for the whole amount, they'd bring in the extra funds to bridge the gap between the loan and the sales price. For what it's worth, we did not select a cash offer and picked one with a loan instead. The buyers had written a very sincere letter to the seller -- yes! that helps -- and the lender was a known entity, so we did not believe there was a risk. Who knew that No-Noho was so hot? I'm sure the buyers will be really happy in their new home, and needless to say, my seller was delighted with the results.
