Wathen & Wilson Historic Wawona Ranch Homes for Sale Clovis CA. 93619

If you were to come see the Wathen & Wilson Historic Wawona Ranch Homes for Sale in Clovis CA. 93619, you would not be disappointed. Alternately, if you were looking for an update of what is happening in the coveted Historic Wawona Ranch community regarding recent home sale and prices, look no further! I frequently come back to this development because it seems like such a nice place to live with mostly single story homes and classy elevations, architecture and curb appeal galore. Wading through the current low inventory crisis it is often that you will find that there have been few to no sales or few to no active listings in specific neighborhoods. I found that there was enough real estate activity going on within this community that it was time for a quick update or market snapshot.

Looking at 152 Omaha Ave. I am surprised to see that this five bedroom and 3,076 sq. ft. home sold for a bargain price of $515,000. I’m sure the neighbors are not happy about this sale. This home was on the market for 238 days (way above the normal marketing time in this market) and was originally listed for $610,000. After multiple price reductions it was last listed at $544,900 before it sold for $515,000, 94.51% of the last listed price. Really the only knock on this home that I can see is that the backyard had no grass and was mostly dirt with some shrubs and trees. Other than that, the only thing that I can see as a negative is that it backs up to a large parcel of land that will eventually be commercial/mixed use so you won’t really know who your neighbor is and if it will inconvenience any residents in the current neighborhood. This Omaha house sold on 5/30/18 for a price per sq. ft. of $167, which is the lowest of all the five sales in the past six months.

The other four sales ranged from $183 – $219 per sq. ft. or from $470,000 – $705,000. One home is pending in escrow at $689,000 and $215 per sq. ft. There are only two homes that are actively listed for sale in MLS at this time. Both of them are showing recent price reductions. These two homes are both the 2,772 sq. ft. plan and they are asking about $515,000 and $505,000 for these remaining homes.

Perhaps the market is softening a bit for this neighborhood which is basically double the price of the average home sale in the Fresno/Clovis city limits. It may be a good time to get yourself into one of these thoughtfully designed homes now that the summer buying season is starting to come to a close. I know that personally I want to be in a home like these some day with a single story floor plan, a safe neighborhood and located close to shopping conveniences.

To see either of these two remaining homes at Historic Wawona Ranch or to have a no obligation consultation of what your home may be worth in this current market contact Jason Nenadov, Broker with Equity Assets Real Estate at 559-246-8991.

4 BR Single Story Home For Sale With Pool & Large Lot Fresno CA, 93730

Single story homes are in the most demand for a few reasons. Never before have I heard a client say that they needed a two story home. It is always that they would consider a two story home but a single story home was the priority.

Fresno CA Pool Homes — 4 BR Single Story Home For Sale With Pool & Large Lot Fresno CA, 93730

Single story homes meet the needs of almost all buyers. They work for the 55+ demographic who are looking more at something they wouldn’t mind spending their retirement years enjoying. They typically don’t prefer stairs to aggravate that bad hip or knee. They also work for the young family who doesn’t want to deal with the hassle of making sure their toddlers don’t go tumbling down the stairs, etc.

3 car garage and paved side yard for autos, boats, etc. — 4 BR Single Story Home For Sale With Pool & Large Lot Fresno CA, 93730

Single story homes are more energy efficient. In the summer months there isn’t the excessive space overhead to keep cool when it is triple digits outside. And conversely, during the winter months they don’t want all the heat from their furnace heating the upper story primarily when they spend the majority of their time on the lower level.

Single story homes almost always have a higher resale value due to the reasons above. So when looking at the best investment strategy for the next home that you purchase, a single story plan should always be the top priority.

The Reserve Buchanan Estates Inspired Wathen Castanos Homes Clovis CA. 93619

The Reserve Buchanan Estates Inspired Wathen Castanos Homes Clovis CA. 93619

You can probably recall the Buchanan Estates floor plan that has the enclosed patio in the middle of the home’s footprint, well it is back and better than before. Introducing the new and improved Buchanan Estates homes which combine some touches back from around 1998-2002 and blends them with modern designs.

I recently toured the Mercer plan which is 3,817 sq. ft. and larger than any of the original Buchanan Estates plans by 200-300 sq. ft. I was dazzled with what I saw on the inside and out. Now The Reserve collection in Clovis is just on the border of Harlan Ranch on the west side of De Wolf so it has no homeowners association or monthly dues. There are currently three plans built on the corner of De Wolf right now. The first one, which is the Mercer plan, is on the the corner of Loyola. The other two are just to the south on the corner of the next two streets.

There are only around 23 lots available at this location and a Wathen Castanos representative told me yesterday that about half of the lots are already spoken for even though the models are the only ones that are fully finished at this time. I wish I would have visited these homes earlier in the year as they seem like they will not last long. I took a bunch of photos so that you can enjoy these homes from the comfort of your home or smart phone, etc.

If you are looking for an estate sized home on an estate sized lot in north Clovis then you need to consider The Reserve. I don’t have any pricing info on these homes but it is probably in the $600,000-$800,000 range. Leo Wilson is building at Harlan Creek just to the south of The Reserve. Wilson has many homes built out there already and construction crews seem to be working at a fierce pace on that development. I was told by a Wilson representative yesterday that the Windsor and Reagent Park homes are going in at Harlan Creek.

If you want to tour any resale homes or new model homes give me a call, Jason Nenadov Broker and Realtor at 559-246-8991. I can show you both new construction and resale homes and help you along the way until you decide if you prefer a resale home or a new construction home.
