Think You Can't Buy a Nice Pool Home Under $150,000 in Citrus Heights?

7138 Candelight Way, Citrus Heights, CA 95621

This is the type of neighborhood where squirrels can take afternoon naps in the middle of the street without being disturbed. Where neighbors all know your name and wave as you walk by. Where people are respectful of private property rights. Welcome to Sylvan Park in Citrus Heights.

Many of the homes in this area were built in the '60s and '70s, but the home I am introducing you to today is the desirable 1958 construction from the Leave It to Beaver era.

This delightful ranch home boasts 3 bedrooms, a long galley kitchen open at each end, and a big living room with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. It also has an attached garage, which many years ago originally sat apart from the home, separated by an overhang and breezeway.

Because the neighbors' yards have so many trees, the home seems plunked down in the middle of a forest without a single large tree in the yard. You will discover plenty of sunshine in the back yard, beautifully manicured landscaping, a lush green lawn and a sparkling brilliantly blue pool. The pool is gunite construction and it has a diving board. Between the house and garage is a patio, which extends into the back yard, and is a perfect spot for your outdoor dining furniture.

7138 Candelight Way, Citrus Heights, CA 95621

Offered at $147,000, subject to lender approval.

Paying Attention to Your Intuition Will Rarely Steer You Wrong

Type E personality in real estateSelling real estate requires full concentration, especially in Sacramento's red-hot buyers' market right now -- which is always a challenge because the economic climate changes from day-to-day. But it also requires full use of all an agent's capabilities. Having systems in place to handle the workload is a necessity, but so is listening to intuition, that little nagging voice in the back of one's head that says something is different or doesn't add up.

I reviewed a real estate book for my About.com homebuying site yesterday, which I try to do every couple months. This is a book by Margaret Rome, called Real Estate the Rome Way. She talked about Type E personalities, a concept founded by Alex Giorgio. Type Es, he says, are typically entrepreneurs who possess enormous amounts of creativity and passion. It's this passion and devotion to the real estate business that makes many of us successful real estate agents and allows for extraordinary communication between us and our clients.

Part of that passion is listening to intuition. We all have intuition, but some of us ignore it or haven't learned how to recognize what the intuition is telling us.

For example, yesterday I took another short sale listing in Citrus Heights. As I walked around the home, taking measurements and photographs, I stopped to ask the seller a question: "What's up with the neighbors next door?" I can't put my finger on precisely what triggered that question, but something was different about the home to the north.

The seller stopped dead in his tracks and opened his eyes in amazement. "What makes you ask that!"

I answered honestly that I did not know, but it was my intuition that prompted me to inquire. I could also tell by the way he responded that there was, indeed, some kind of conflict between the two neighbors.

All the homes on the street looked identical to each other.

Has that ever happened to you?
