THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY
By Larry Underhill

MY PASTOR, Tim Stevenson, is celebrating his tenth anniversary as pastor of Horizon Community Church in Galt. As the Maker’s Manual sez, “He who labors well among you is worthy of double honor.” The church is sending him and his lovely wife Gwen on a special mission…to Maui! Aloha, Bruddah! If anybody deserves appreciation, it’s these two.

NOW I CAN TELL YOU about my new listing at 600 West Daisy in Lodi! Last Saturday I was caught between a listing date and a newspaper deadline, but now I can tell all! This is a great 3-bedroom 2-bath 2-car-garage home on a nice stretch of Daisy Avenue. The $344,950 listing price looks even better when you figure in the NEW ROOF my Seller is prepared to have installed with a full-price offer. Call me for details on what the Seller has in mind. If you hurry, you can still choose your roof color! And it’s…

OPEN TODAY NOON TO TWO! Statesman’s own John Manguso will host this home. By the way, 600 West Daisy also features a recently-remodeled kitchen, three good-sized bedrooms, a fireplace in the Living Room, a pleasant back yard patio and more! Come and take a look!

OPEN TODAY from 2:30 to 4:30: Your very own tree-shaded park! John Manguso (a busy boy today…and most days) will welcome you. 5201 East Woodbridge Road is a one-of-a-kind property. It’s getting a LOT of showings, even through this bad-weather spell. Imagine what the interest will be when spring arrives (if it’s not SOLD by then)! Five minutes from Lodi on a secluded landscaped acre. Spacious deck! Towering shade trees! Now $634,950.

SALE PENDING on 303 Rainier…but it’s still an active listing because the Buyers have a Bay Area home to sell. I spoke with the home’s builder Loren Perry last week. He spoke fondly of this home. He built it for his wife and himself! When they decided to move to the country 22 years ago, the present owners bought the place. It has been VERY well-cared-for and shows very well. At $429,950, it is a great value! 1814 square feet of living area! Three bedrooms, two baths, separate Living Room and Family Room, large Laundry Room with back yard access! No wonder it received so much interest so quickly.

SCOOP: 1705 Cape Cod Circle is a three-bedroom two and a half bath two-story home at the corner of Cape Cod Circle and Lakeshore Drive in Lodi. My Sellers have priced this home to SELL: $519,950 for over 2300 square feet of well-maintained home! Call for a private showing, but I’d suggest that you move quickly. This home is a value!

THE MARKET appears to have stabilized in the Lodi area, with listing inventory hovering around 270 to 280 active listings (homes and condos) in Lodi at any given time. Not a pure Buyer’s Market, but close! Homes are still selling! It just takes longer and they must be priced right (Otherwise they just help the competition to sell).

“OUR FATHER, Who does art in heaven, Harold is His name. Amen.” This is a sample of what you’re in for next week as we take a look at some kid quotes on spiritual matters. Stay tuned! Have a great week.
