1507 Pine St [Boulder Notable Sale]

Osman Parvez|March 31, 2022|Boulder, Notable Sale|

BOULDER NOTABLE: 1507 Pine St | $3.92M

There are many lessons to be learned from this sale. First, don’t invest in a home based on its views or neighborhood characteristics, without certainty that it’s protected. Second, when marketing a home for sale, wishful thinking is the wrong approach to pricing. This home was originally marketed at $6.0M, more than 50% higher than the eventual sale price. The seller’s WAG was quickly followed by aggressive price cuts, which sends a negative signal to the market. Third, auction-style listings may get the job done but they’re expensive. In addition to paying commissions, auction firms often charge buyer premiums. Finally, these types of deals are so rare and far off the beaten path of transaction norms, you’ll lose a lot of buyers who were discouraged by their agents from submitting an offer. That’s almost certainly what happened here.

With all of that said, it’s a great house, historic and nicely remodeled. I hope the new owner enjoys it.

Testimonials

We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.

Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
