We all like to convince ourselves buying real estate is a rational game of comps and spreadsheets… until pure emotion grabs the wheel.
Perched high above Sun Valley in San Rafael, 12 Longwood Drive hit the market asking $1,728,000 and immediately struck a chord. Just 10 days later, it was pending, closing at an eye-popping $2,328,000… that is a massive $600K (nearly 35%!) over asking.
Not bad for a 1961 mid-century gem, eh?
What triggers that level of instant, all-in emotional conviction? Pure California indoor/outdoor living done right. Walls of glass framing sweeping ridge-line views, effortless spaces for entertaining, and a secluded primary suite with its own private deck and hot tub tucked right into the mature trees (yes, please!).
Congratulations to the buyers and sellers!
