Belwood Belgatos Surmont homes for sale in Sept 2012

 

Homes sold:

Belwood Belgatos Surmont homes sold as of Sept 24 2012

Since January 1st, only 3 homes in the area have sold for under $1 million, and one of them was a short sale that was directly across from the cabana.  Please note that overall, homes in the Surmont, Belgatos and Belwood neighborhoods are selling over list price – in fact, by $13,437 or almost 1% over list price. Although the one short sale took over 200 days from listing to closing, most homes in the area sold far faster – 9 of the 12 sold within 2 weeks!  That is a nice, strong sellers’ market.

Even so, it’s imperative not to overprice. Just because it’s a sellers’ market does not mean that buyers will pay just any price for a home.  They are wary after the market’s downturn!
