This week's newest listing in the Ivanhoe School District!

1916 Lucile Ave, Los Angeles Ca 90039


Hi everyone,

I wanted to share this charming, three bedroom, two bathroom, 1937 Spanish home that I saw today. It’s perched high in the hills of Silver Lake and offers sweeping, panoramic views of the Observatory, the Hollywood sign and the San Gabriel Mountains. Great light floods the spacious living room with vaulted ceilings and the gas fireplace has been totally redone. The dining room offers magnificent views as well and original built in cabinets. It has beautiful hardwood floors throughout. There are amazing views from large screened in porch that’s off the living room and there’s a large flat concrete back area great for outdoor entertaining. The kitchen and baths are a little dated with a 80s vibe but that’s about the only draw back. Of course there are steps but it's worth is to get these fantastic views. It’s in the Ivanhoe school district and that’s why we think it's worth taking a look at. If you would like more information on this house or other homes in the Ivanhoe School District please e-mail mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936 It’ll be open this Sunday from 1-4 If you can make it please tell them Mr. Ivanhoe sent you.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Mr. Ivanhoe

The newest Listing in the Invanhoe School District!

This is a good house, on one of the best streets in the Moreno Highlands.

After last week's disappointing viewing of 2641 Waverly it was good to see this updated & reworked home with a nice artistic vibe. The owners have updated and upgraded this home since purchasing it in 1989. It has a step down LR w/ tall ceilings, fp & patio doors that lead to the deck for outside living with peek-a-boo views of the lake. The formal dining room is next to the cooks kitchen w/upscale stainless appliances. The master bedroom with outside seating is great + 2 more bed rms, one used as office & 2 ba. We really like the family room / wd burning stove as well as the patio doors that open to the landscaped pvt yrd. The 3rd bath + wine closet w/ tasting rm. are downstairs, It nice to see something that shows pride of ownership, good floor plan and a price that's within reason. If you would like to see this home or other homes in the Ivanhoe School district please e-mail mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936
Thank,
Mr. Ivanhoe

Why doesn't this house sell?

Because instead of pricing it right from the beginning they tried to hold on to 2006 prices and that cost them in the end. This is a good home in the Moreno Highlands with lots of lake views. Dramatic high ceiling entry, this contemporary 3 bedroom 3.5 bath home has an open floorplan, hardwood floors, formal dining room, fireplace, huge master suite with double door entry & sitting room. Family room and gym + a nicely terraced yard. It came on the market in January of this year at $1,595,000, then came down to $1,395,000 in late March. 5 months later in August it dropped to $1,295,000 where it's at now. If they had been priced right and come down sooner it would have sold by now. We saw the same thing occur on Kenilworth and now it's gone into foreclosure. Moreno is on of the best streets in the Ivanhoe School Districts and the property is nice. If the the sellers really want to move it they may want come down to get it sold.

$60,000 Price Drop!

2580 Armstrong Ave

That's more like it, this house came down from $889,000 to $829,000 in two weeks! With almost 1900 sq ft and a good floor plan this home has lots of natural light, a center hall and updated systems. Hardwood floors, original tiled bathes and a center island in the kitchen are just some of the features we like about this home. The grassy back yard also has a covered patio area that’s great for barbecues and entertaining. Now that they've come down I think it can sell if there's some more room to negotiate.To view this home or any other properties in the Ivanhoe School District please e-mail mrivanhoespecialist@gmail.com or call 323-839-3936 Thanks,

What a difference a year makes!

2515 W Silver Lake Dr, Los Angeles Ca 90039

I remember when this house when it first came on the market in July of last year. They were asking $ 1,165,000 and calling it a fixer! I saw it then and believe me it was more then a fixer. Well it's been totally updated including new bathrooms and a new kitchen as well as newer electrical and plumbing. It's in move in condtion and has really good outdoor spaces including a deck of the master bedroom. They're now asking $915,000 and I think it could go for even lower.

Market Update (Hollywood Hills East, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park)

I was thumbing through the MLS yesterday and pulled up a very interesting market report. In the last 30 days, 32 single family houses have sold in the Hollywood Hills East, Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Echo Park. Get this...(I know that most of the buyer's reading this do not want to hear this but this is what is happening in our market...) 13 out of the 32, or 40% of the homes sold, sold at the seller's asking price or higher. This means that there were a lot of multiple offer situations going on. Best of luck to you Buyers and Sellers.

3107 SCOTLAND ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 90039

2 bedrooms 1 bathroom

List price: $839,000

Relax, its summer! Turn up the heat with this chic summer romance artfully directed by the nuance of the past featuring a living room with graceful proportions and fireplace; formal dining room; breakfast room; den; retro kitchen; and an appearance by yesterday’s artisan in the vibrant colors of a vintage bath. Dazzling effects include a pool with glass tile reflecting cascading water, tropical plants, & grassy expanse that will stop your heart and start your blender. The function and space of the bonus office provides a truly happy ending.

Hum...I'm not sure exactly what the listing agent is trying to say with this their description...Could somebody please help me out? I think what they are trying to say is that we have a cool little 2 bed 1 bath house with a nice pool in the Ivanhoe School District. The seller's probably never had the time or money to replace the plumbing, so luckily for the buyers, the kitchen and bathroom are still original! To me this house is not really for your typical Ivanhoe family; I'm thinking, single bachelor or maybe a young hip nerdy couple looking for a starter home. The price tag seems a little steep considering the basic fact that the house really is only a 2 bedroom house.

Ok, so I have to admit that I make mistakes. This is one of them. This house is absolutely amazing from top to bottom. I now understand what the listing agent means by the bonus office provides a truly "happy ending". I comped out this property yesterday and it's worth every penny for $839,000. Enjoy.

THIS BEAUTY OFFERS REFINISHED HARDWOOD FLOORS THROUGHOUT, NICE STAIRCASE, SPACIOUS KITCHEN, LIVING, DINING AND MASTER BEDROOM WITH FRENCH DOORS LEADING TO GREAT OUTDOOR DECK. FRESH PAINT IN-OUT, CHARMING PATIO WITH FIREPLACE.

Wow. There really are some people who like to take a chance flipping in this real estate market...Get this...This house was on the market exactly 1 year ago listed for $1,165,000. Not only was it $1,165,000 but the house was a major fixer and need updating just about everywhere. Yes, this house is in the prestigious Ivanhoe School District part of Silver Lake and in a great neighborhood. Here's the catch. 1 month ago, the property sold. Instead of selling for $1,165,000 as asked, the property sold for $650,000? Now it's back on the market for $879,000 as of today? Hum...so what did they do to improve the home's value by $229,000. From the looks of it, a little paint here, a new privacy wall there, and maybe some newly finished hardwood floors. Good luck to you Mr. Seller.

What is a Real Estate Pocket Listing?

What is a real estate pocket listing? We love Wikipedia, and thought we would give you their definition.

A pocket listing is a real estate industry term used in United States which denotes a property where a broker holds a signed listing agreement (or contract) with the seller, whether that be an "Exclusive Right to Sell" or "Exclusive Agency" agreement or contract, but where it is never advertised nor entered into a multiple listing system (MLS) or where advertising is limited for an agreed-upon period of time. In Canada, this is referred to as an "Exclusive Listing".

To put this into laymen terms, we talk to lots and lots of real estate agents every day and hear of homes in the Ivanhoe School District that are coming on the market soon, but are not officially on the market yet. We would love to share this information with you so that you can have the first opportunity to preview new listings and write an offer before anybody else.
