Clovis Home Construction Booming West of Harlan Ranch Clovis CA 93619

I wanted to see what new construction was going in between DeWolf and Locan north of Hwy 168. It had been a while since I had been out there and I was interested in seeing the progress. I was only intending to visit two different builders/communities but as it turns out I visit four different builder/communities with new construction development. Originally I wanted to see the Wathen and Wilson community progress but before I knew it I was taking photos of the Benchmark or Century homes and as I wound my way home on Locan I was able to preview the Granville Deauville East community as well.

So I snapped a bunch of photos for you to see of the homes in this area so you could get a feel for what they look like. I didn’t tour any models or get any updated pricing this time. I simply wanted to capture what these new homes looked like from the street and get some shots of the construction. I don’t recall if the Century community has any homes left to build. That Diamondhead community may already be built out? Regardless, I got some shots of what the final products look like.

With virtually no new home construction, at least from tract homes, between 2008 – 2012 there was a large void left in terms of supply. Babies were still being made during those stagnant real estate years. As values continued to go up year after year more of the usual homebuilders ratcheted up their operations again and started to develop the land that they had been holding for years. The void of no new construction for years created somewhat of a boomerang effect to where new construction has been going full throttle for the past 4 years or so. The effects of this is what has caused this sparsely populated stretch of land between DeWolf and Local from the east and west to Shepherd and Hwy 168 from the north and south to have a whole host of new homes in a short amount of time.

Granville’s Deauville Estates Home Sales Strong In Clovis CA. 93619

Looking at the sales data over the past 6 months shows that Granville’s Deauville Estates home sales have been strong in Clovis CA. 93619. There have been 10 sales in the past six months in this original Granville location located on the South West corner of Shepherd and Temperance Ave. Just looking at the averages of the sales the size of the average home sale in here was 2,663 sq. ft. The median home sale price was $497,700 and just under $188 a sq. ft. That is a descent price per sq. ft. with homes being on the larger size, etc.

Why do people like this neighborhood to the extent that they will pay these high prices? After all these homes are nearly 20 years old now having been built between 2000 and 2003. Well, first of all Granville makes a good product. They are one of the premier builders of tract homes in the greater Fresno/Clovis area and they are a local builder. They have built up a strong reputation by putting out a quality product over several decades. That is one of the reasons why this neighborhood is attractive.

Another reason is the location being that it is in North East Clovis. Everything to the north is open land that will probably one day be future housing development. But besides the great location there is also a nice neighborhood park and walking paths through this neighborhood. It was a well thought out community even 15-20 years ago.

Besides what has already sold recently, lets look at what is actively for sale now. The 11 homes that are actively for sale average just under $186 per sq. ft. at a median price of $524,900. These homes range in size from 1,861 – 4,000 sq. ft. and from three to five bedrooms. To see what is still actively for sale in real time in and around this Deauville neighborhood, click here.

🏡Don’t Make These Mistakes When Buying a Home in Clovis CA

Buying a home is not an easy task, especially if it is your first time investing in a real estate property. While the idea of homeownership can be exciting, it can also be full of complexities. If you are not prepared, chances are you will only make poor purchase decisions along the way and ultimately end up sabotaging your dream of owning a home.

Before you start looking for homes for sale in Clovis CA, make sure that you are already prepared for the journey. Remember, buying a home isn’t just about getting your dream home. It is a huge financial commitment where you put much of your money at stake.

To ensure the success of your home purchase, take note of these 8 common home buying mistakes you should avoid:

1. Not Giving Your Home Buying Decision Enough Thought

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make in your life. It is so big a decision that it requires you to be wise and be prepared before plunging into the process. Before making the decision to buy a home, make sure you have already taken into consideration the financial implications of home buying and that you have already decided which type of home you would like to invest your money in.

2. Not Picking Your Finance Package Carefully

Some homebuyers think that when it comes to mortgage and finding out how much house they can afford, they can simply visit a bank’s website and use online calculators. Actually, there is a huge difference between what these online calculators indicate and what the banks will actually lend you, so it’s best to personally go to the bank or find an independent finance broker who can give you access to reliable lenders.

3. Going Beyond Your Budget

When choosing a home to buy, do not be tempted to go beyond your budget just because you think that a more expensive house looks more appealing than the house that fits your budget. This will only derail your finances in the future and leave you exposed to potential financial shocks.

4. Thinking That It’s All About the Price

When it comes to buying a house, do not ever think that it is always about the price. Don’t base your buying decision solely on price. Just because a house is cheap does not mean that it is the right property for you. When choosing a property to buy, consider the value that you will get from buying it.

5. Signing Contracts Without Being Sure That Your Interests are Protected

Buying a property involves a lot of paperwork. Before signing any contract, make sure that it includes additional clauses that protect your interest. Do not assume that you can ask for changes in the contract later on, because that is not the way it works.

6. Failing to Estimate All the Costs Associated with Home Buying

When you buy a house, don’t think that the amount of money you need to prepare is just the amount of the property itself. There are a lot of additional costs associated with buying a property, including stamp duties, valuation costs, loan application fees and mortgage insurance.

7. Underestimating the Value of a Professional Building Inspection

Some home buyers tend to skip this part, thinking that inspectors only tend to find faults that aren’t there. Actually, these inspectors are trained to find faults and to help you address all the needed repairs before moving in. Their report will also help you decide if you really want to buy the property, given its faults.

8. Thinking That You Don’t Need an Agent

As a homebuyer, you must never underestimate the importance of having a real estate agent by your side. Your agent will protect you, give you expert advice and look after your interests as you go through the process. When buying a home, having an idea of the home buying process is not enough. You need someone to help you make the right decisions and make sure that your emotions don’t get the better of you when making these decisions.

3 Tips to Keep Your New Home Organized

Jobs, kids, dinner, and so much more consume your time every day and easily distract you from keeping your home organized.

As you move into your new home, it can be easy to think this fresh start will keep the home organized and running smoothly. However, more than likely your home will be fashioned after your old one. In just a few months the fresh start will begin to fade.

Here are 5 tips to help you keep your new home organized so your home can keep that fresh, new feel.

Discard

As you pack and unpack all of your belongings into boxes and bins, discard anything and everything that shouldn’t stick around in your new home. These are just a few examples of what you shouldn’t keep in your move:

Broken and unappealing decor
Games with missing pieces or you simply don’t play anymore
Electronics and chargers you’ve replaced or no longer use
Old sports equipment and uniforms
Complimentary soaps and lotions picked up from hotels and shops
Any clothing you no longer wear, no longer fits you, or is a duplicate of another piece
Any kind of entertainment your family no longer uses
Extra kitchenware that has been hiding in the back of your cabinets

By discarding those items, you will be able to not only pack and move less items to your new home but you will be able to keep the clutter out.

Organize

Start out living in your new home with every inch organized. This helps motivate you to continue with the upkeep and to see how your new home can look at its best. This will also give you the opportunity to continue sorting through your belongings and discard items you really don’t need to keep around.

You will want to make sure to organize your home in a way where you will be able to find your belongings easily. Have your family help you with this as they will need to know where everything is located as well.

Schedule

Keeping your new home organized is a daily, 10-minute occurrence. As you assess your busy schedule, find 10 minutes at the end of the day to pick up objects around your house and do a quick sweep, vacuum, or counter cleaning. This daily ritual will keep you from having to spend hours on the weekend getting your house back in order just to have everything in chaos again the following week.

Waking up to a clean home will give you peace of mind throughout the day as well as an easy start to your active lifestyle. Be sure to be flexible and spend a little more time on the weekends cleaning to make sure everything goes back to its proper place.

Organizing your home, while daunting at first, doesn’t have to be a chore. By heeding these 3 tips you will be able to keep your new home feeling sparkly and new for years to come. Don’t be afraid to change and adjust your organizational habits as your lifestyle changes and make sure to ask for help when needed. Your home is yours and you can keep it from collecting dust and clutter!
