Just Listed! I just came back from previewing the cheapest house in the MLS for San Ramon CA. It's the least expensive single family home with at least 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms listed at $525,000. It's an REO (bank owned property) and on paper it looks like a screaming good deal.Before I got in the car I knew these things; The neighborhood, Newcastle, is located within walking distance to a sizable strip center with major grocery store, restaurants, fitness center, drug store, hardware store and more. Two homes have sold in this neighborhood since the first of the year. The average selling price has been $633,000 this year to date. One home was smaller and one was larger, so the average selling price might well be a good "market price" for this home. The home was built in 1988, putt...

Homes placed on the Broker's Open Tour are most generally either new listings or price reductions, although some agents do periodic repeats without price changes. It's relatively common to see tour listings for Homes for Sale in The Lakes at Canyon Lakes, however it's not so common to see a home with such a value price!27 of today's tour listings represent homes for sale in San Ramon. Although four homes had listing prices below this property's price of $579,000, they were much smaller ranging from a 1 bedroom, one bath condo priced at $319,000 to an older 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with just 1,288 square feet priced at $550,000.3102 Lakemont Drive #4 g...
