984 Riverside #2, Burbank is open Saturday and Sunday. Please come visit!

I'll be helping listing agent Rose Osman with her open house this Saturday at 984 Riverside, #2 in the Burbank Rancho.  Here's the link for the virtual tour of this beautiful 3+3, 1635 sf, 3 story townhome.  Please watch; it's gorgeous. And, for horse lovers, horse stalls are available! The unit is listed at $559,950 and we'll be there from 1 to 4 on Saturday.

The wild and wool-y real estate market

Well, pardners, my experience in the local market has been like a buckin' bronco lately.  Yes, I'll have some campfire stories to tell y'all, but first I have to get all the cattle driven back into their pens.

Here's some good news, though: 1122 N. Cordova in Burbank has closed for $540,000.  That's $5000 over list price.  We originally had it in escrow for $545,000 but those buyers wanted $11,000. We said "happy trails to you" and got another buyer.  This buyer paid cash at $540,000.  Now, if we can only get the Cordova sellers into a new home.

Properties of the week -- 2 condos in Burbank

I viewed two condos for sale -- units #210 and #204 --  at 345 Alameda Ave. in Burbank and they are my properties of the week.  Why? Because they are so nice and so relatively inexpensive.  Unit #210 (top picture), which has been extensively upgraded with a lot of high end finishes, is $299,900.  And unit #204, (bottom picture) which is a two-story townhome, is listed at $260,000.  I never thought I'd see "nice" units in Burbank at this low price again.  The last time I showed units in this building was two years ago and beaten-up ones were still going for $330k. I don't think units in this building were this cheap when they were built in 1992!  Both units are 2 beds and 2.5 baths.  Unit #210 is 939 square feet and #204 is 1012 square feet, the building is very well maintained, and the home owners' association dues are $230/month.  Yes, Alameda is a busy street, but the building is really close to Disney, the 5 Fwy and the Equestrian Center.  I don't think buyers looking for condos in Burbank could go wrong with these -- and no, they are not my listings nor my office's listings.  Okay, I'll quit gushing now.
