A 2 bedroom, 2 bath townhome with a loft in Santa Cruz’s Seabright neighborhood for $995K?

Got a chance to host this Seabright townhome, and the reverse floor plan makes the upstairs living spaces feel especially bright and inviting. That is where the dramatic high ceilings, natural light, and open layout really stand out.

With 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a loft, a sunny deck off the main living area, and a 2 car garage, this one has a layout that feels functional, memorable, and surprisingly compelling at this price point. Then add a gated community directly across from Frederick Street Park, and $995,000 starts to look like a serious opportunity in this part of Santa Cruz.

Has the thought of decluttering stalled you from selling your Santa Cruz home?
Many sellers stay stuck for months — sometimes even years — because they start in the wrong place.

This video explains how to approach decluttering strategically, not emotionally, and why the order matters more than the stuff.

Should sellers really declutter before they sell a home in Santa Cruz County?

A lot of homeowners delay listing because decluttering feels overwhelming. Years of belongings and unfinished decisions can make it hard to know where to begin, and that often becomes the reason selling gets pushed off.

The truth is simple. Homes do need to be decluttered before they go on the market so buyers can see the space clearly. But sellers do not need to make every long term decision right away. The goal is to remove what affects presentation and pack or store everything else until later.

In Santa Cruz County, most sellers take one of two paths
• Move out and stage, which creates clean, open rooms for photos and showings
• Stay in the home but remove as much as possible, especially personal items and visual clutter

If getting started feels difficult, a structured plan helps. I put together a practical six step checklist that shows exactly how to prepare without having to sort every item at once.

Some homeowners choose a REALTOR® they already know. A friend, a referral, or someone familiar.

And who you choose matters.

Choosing without knowing which questions truly matter can directly affect your outcome when you sell. Pricing, preparation, and negotiation decisions compound quickly.

I wrote a short blog for Santa Cruz County homeowners on how to choose the right REALTOR® and what to ask before making that decision.
