Housing Deals Woodward Park Homes Fresno, CA. 93720

If you are looking for a deal on a Woodward Park Home in Fresno, CA. 93720, you may want to check out what is available for sale now. Home buyers that I help find homes often are not drawn to what Fresno has to offer in new construction homes or anything built after 2000. Some of their hindrances to newer homes in the area is that they feel that they were not built well because they were built during the housing boom with 'studs' that are not actual 2X4s and that they would have been built very fast in an assembly line fashion. Other complaints seem to be that the design/architecture is not appealing to them. If you find yourself with those beliefs, maybe a Woodward Park area home fits your style.

When I mention the housing deals on Woodward Park Homes in Fresno, CA. 93720, I am specifically talking about the area between Millbrook and Friant to the East and West and Shepherd to Teague from the North and South. In the past six months, there have been 11 sales within these boundaries ranging from $105-179 per sq. ft. The wide range in prices is due to there being traditional, short and REO sales in this area. Those 11 sales averaged $126 per sq. ft. There are presently 11 homes which are in the active, backup and pending status in the MLS. These homes average $121 per sq. ft. This doesn't mean that the values are dropping necessarily. It may simply mean that they were priced below market to generate a quick sale. Only time will tell if the values go down in the immediate future if and when those 11 homes sell. Often times a short sale may be listed considerably below market value to get people through the door to view it. Otherwise, they may just sit on the market for too long, etc.

If single story ranch style homes are what you are looking for that are roughly 30 years old, then you need to visit the Woodward Park area homes. Most of them are on lots that are 10,000+ sq. ft. and most of the neighbors display pride of ownership.

As a Home Staging professional in Fresno CA I have encountered challenges that are not unique to our city, but are experienced nationwide by home stagers, real estate agents, and home sellers alike. One such challenge is the preponderance of new " Tuscan villas."

It seems that many, many buyers want a little piece of Tuscany even though they've never been there themselves and most likely could not even find the area on a map. I personally love the style but do not want to leave my mature landscaping to move to a new area.

Whether 5,000 sq. feet or 1,500 sq. feet, everyone wants a Tuscan style home. As a friend of mine observed, "There are more Tuscan villas in Fresno than in Tuscany." So what is the owner of a post war tract, or quasi custom 1970's or 80's home to do when trying to sell in a market is already slow and where most buyers want the latest and greatest trends?

The quickest and most cost effective way to sell an older home in today's market is to invest in some form of home staging. Market surveys have stated over and over again, as have satisfied sellers, that staged homes sell! While no reputable home stagers would try to transform a house into a style that it was not designed to be, they will give suggestions and recommendations about how to highlight the home's features which can turn it from drab to fab.

A home stager can see a home through a buyer's eyes, knows what buyers want, and can bring out the potential of any home, thus securing a quick and profitable sale. An older home home can still be made to look fabulous and it will sell.
