THE REAL (ESTATE) STORY By Larry Underhill By Larry Underhill I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH about 16781 North DeVries Road. Old-fashioned charm, modern con- venience. These Sellers have managed to main- tain and enhance the circa-1914 ambiance of this stately two-story farmhouse while bringing it into the twenty-first century. 3189 square feet on a one and a third acre landscaped estate. More special features thanI can name here. Price? $879,950. Don't snooze! This one's special. When I visit this place, I don't want to leave! A deep country set- ting, yet you're less than five minutes from Raley's. Questions? Call Partner and Team Co-Leader An- gel McGregor at 209-600-1214. CONGRATULATIONS to serial clients Chuck and Brenda on the successful SALE of another Lodi rental property! Always a pleasure, folks! Let's do this again real soon. THE CRAZINESS CONTINUES...Last Saturday I mentioned three new listings that were just hitting the market. As pound out this column, one has NINE offers under consideration, some as high as $50K over the (fair market) list price. Some have waived the appraisal contingency or added other Buyer concessions to enhance their offer. THE WACKY PART: Whenever one of these way- over-market sales closes, the sale instantly be- comes the new benchmark (comparable sale) for similar homes! I've seen this type of market before, and it doesn't last forever. However, don't expect any meaningful drop in prices when the market flat- tens out. This is nothing like the bubble of 2007-8-9. "WHEN I TREAT other people with kindness and love, it is part of my way of paying my debt to God and the world for the privilege of living on this plan- et." (Dr. Ben Carson).
