This is why.
I know this corner well: I listed, sold, and rented it in 2013, and back then, it also sold for the highest price. It’s the largest 3-bedroom, 2½-bath corner layout at 1,575 sq. ft., compared with other 3/2.5 corner homes that typically have 1,478 sq. ft. You can feel that difference when you walk in.
Bonus: there’s an extra enclosed space downstairs that my sellers used as an office (and it fits a twin bed so it could be your emergency guest room or storage).
It had something that made everyone say “wow” even back in 2013: a real, beautifully maintained backyard. 🤩 🌱🎋🌳 While most patios in our community have been covered with concrete or pavers, this home offers space to step onto the grass and enjoy the garden.
Here’s how this year’s closings break down so far in 2026:
🏡 1 closed at $480,000 👆🏼
🏡 6 closed from $365,000 to $395,000
🏡 4 closed from $230,000 to $347,500
It’s about living area and sometimes patio size too., condition, and location!
The backyard alone doesn’t explain the price. The larger corner layout, beautifully remodeled and staged kitchen, primary bathroom and half bath, thoughtful updates, presentation, and outdoor space all helped this home stand out.
One more detail sellers should know: every one of these sales closed either in cash or with a substantial down payment of 30%, 40%, or 80%. As I’ve shared in recent months, restricted financing matters when we compare sale prices and evaluate property value in any sub-division.
These are older backyard photos from my 2013 listing. The newer photos show how the space was presented more effectively for this sale. There’s no bougainvillea or mango tree now, but the outdoor furniture created a very inviting space.
There have been 11 closed sales in almost nine months—compared with the pace we used to see, when 11 homes could sell in about two months.
