South County Realtors Association Wednesday Meeting

The South County Realtors Association (SCRA) meets for a real estate marketing session and new listing tour every Wednesday morning in Morgan Hill and every Thursday morning in Gilroy. Today was our last Morgan Hill real estate meeting of 2008. SCRA annually holds a fundraiser during the holidays to donate to local foodbanks and charities. We raise most of the funds during our meetings by raffling off prizes that we Realtors sign up to donate. Not only does this create a lot of comaraderie, but it is also an effective way to raise money. This year we raised about $5200.

There were four Morgan Hill properties on tour this morning. A large, attractive home in the Nordstrom School boundary is new on the market at 17027 Heatherwood Way. This home sold in 2003 for $1,185,000 and is now on the market for $1,289,000.

17027 Heatherwood Way

This is a 3,891 sq.ft. home with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, large kitchen with slab granite, huge bonus room and lots of built-ins. In addition to this there is an attached guest quarter with a living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom - perfect set-up for elderly parents, au pair, et cetera. The lot is 13,939 sq.ft.

Another home on tour also has a separate living quarter but is a little less grand than the previous. 780 San Pedro Avenue in Morgan Hill is priced at $699,000.

780 San Pedro

This home is 1,786 sq.ft. and has been updated and refreshed. There is a separate living quarter in the back and a separate 4 car garage in addition to the 2 car garage attached to the home. All of this is on a roomy 28,908 sq.ft. lot. This home is not in the nicest of areas and is somewhat close to the freeway, but seems to be good value for $699,000.

For information about these properties or the other two real estate tour properties: 18241 Christeph Dr. ($899,000) and 800 La Crosse ($728,000), please contact me.
