Trivia: Guess the final price!

Recently, we announced a listing for a newly-remodeled home in Los Altos. Now, after meeting hundreds of buyers at open houses and fielding multiple offers, we’re on the verge of a sale. So we’re turning this week’s Number Talk into a trivia game…

Here are the details of the house:

5 beds | 3.5 baths | 2,754 sqft | 0.23-acre lot

The house was listed at $4.198M, and we had five offers. Can you guess the winning offer price?

Chic vs. Geek: Active Listening

Do real estate agents take into account feedback from prospective buyers they meet during open houses?

CHIC (PEARL)

The short answer: Absolutely! We had more than 160 people come through our latest open house each day over the weekend, and I talked to almost every one of them. What I heard was that the right light fixtures can make the house feel totally elevated. This house definitely has that vibe and more thanks to a series of unique skylights and recessed ceiling lights. And it only took a small investment from the total renovation budget to make a huge improvement that makes a great first impression.

GEEK (KEVIN)

What I learned was how much people love cooking on gas stoves. I can’t say that I blame them. But with many cities starting to ban natural gas appliances in new homes, the only way to get that new gas stove you saw on that cooking show is to renovate a home with existing gas service. So if you want to get your chef on, you should consider buying a newly remodeled home instead of starting from scratch. Or you could go green with an induction stove top. Either way, we’ll help guide you home.

Thanks to Kevin (the Geek) for embracing one of his many talents to capture beautiful photos of our new listing — even if the weather occasionally got in the way. I’m so grateful to have his support on my journey!
