Holiday House Hunting

On Saturday, December 17, 2011, I hosted an open house on 21812 Lopez Street, Woodland Hills, California 91364. It was a single family detached residential, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home, 1,843 square feet (per tax assessor's data), situated on a hill in a quiet cul-de-sac area, listed at $409,000, a few blocks west of Topanga Canyon Boulevard, MLS number F11155191. I would like to thank the listing agent for allowing me to do the open house.

Although it's the holiday season, buyers are including house hunting in their schedule. After strategically placing my signs on the streets, I decided to stop in at the Starbucks Cafe located at Dumetz and Topanga Canyon Boulevard. It's situated in a small strip mall, with a few mom and pop shops. When I walked in the store, I saw that many folks were sitting, talking, computer surfing, relaxing and sipping their favorite brew. The cafe had a nice community feel to it. I would have stayed, but it was nearing 1:00 pm and I did not want to be late opening up.

As I was driving up the hill towards the cul-de-sac, I noticed two gentlemen getting out of a car at the bottom of the hill. I parked near the home, retrieved my backpack and walked towards the entrance. I pulled out my key and unlocked the door. I turned and saw both men walking towards the home. I yelled towards them and invited them to view the home. They were driving in the neighborhood and saw my signs. One was looking to buy home in that area. Both toured the home and expressed an interest. Although I was opened from 1-4 pm, I had 14 visitors. Buyers know that there is less competition during the holiday season. In addition to mall shopping and event hopping, house hunting is on the list of things-to-do. Holiday house hunting is alive and well in Woodland Hills, California.

Take care and thank you for commenting.
