Today's Broker's Tour was very small. The feeling in my office is that agents are waiting until after Superbowl weekend to bring their properties onto the market. The logic being that no one will be looking at open homes on Superbowl Sunday.
I have always found Superbowl Sunday to be a very productive day for open houses, and those buyers who are out looking at homes on that day, are very serious about finding a new place to live. We Realtors are really good at coming up with theories.
One home that was on tour today, and stood out above the others was 31 Idaho out at Point Richmond. For all of you who have not been out to Point Richmond, along 580 on your way to the Richmond Bridge, it is a wonderful hidden village full of great little cafes and shops right by the water. 31 Idaho is a charming 1908 California Bungalow with tons of updates, and all the storage you will ever need in the attic and the basement. The detached garage was converted to a little studio with a half bath. The home is within walking distance to downtown Point Richmond, and it offers a great little retreat, not too far away, and not too close. Worth a look!
