Hi Friends and Followers of the Weekly Silver City Realtor Tour,
The Realtor Tour for 2-17-2010 consisted of 7 listings. This is what I call the Mining District Tour. Today's tour was approx 35 miles. It took almost 2 hours to complete. There were 6 site built homes, no Condominiums, 1 Manufactured home, and no Commercial Listings on today's tour.
The Silver City Real Estate Tour - a day in the life (Featured Article in July 2009 Enews)

OVERALL TOUR RATING (see Legend below): WTE
Tour started today at Wagon Wheel Realty. There were about 16 particpants in 8 vehicles during today's tour..
Food Score = "B+" Very Good
Food review: Homemade burritos, cut strawberries, and orange slices were the main fare. Hershey's kisses and unnamed (untested globula) candy filled out the edibles. Juice served as well as coffee (unfortuantely the coffee was a bit weak for my liking). Overall a good effort.
Actual listing agent comments are provided below as well as any "Buyer Comments" that might be posted - see disclaimer.
You will have to view the animated image showing the "Start of the Tour" from a recent caravan. The leader shows impeccable skills and style as he leads us towards the first tour stop.-
So.....Enough Said. Let's start the Tour... VROOOOOOM!
1. MLS 26622 316 Nevada Street
Link: Property Information and Photos
Listing Agent Remarks: Tiled, jetted garden tub in the Master Bath with subdued light for night and a skylight for daytime. Great Room for entertaining, family room, home theater, artist's studio and or gallery and bathroom, dual ceiling fans & skylights, plenty of natural lighting, dimmer-controlled "hi-hat" ceiling lights in 3 zones. fully tiled for easy cleaning. Use 3rd bedroom as a home office or hobby room. New carpet installed. Rear patio is tiled and covered. Garage has room for one vehicle plus storage.
BUYER COMMENTS: Unexpected. Very Nice. Tiled throughout. One of the nicer homes in this area. Really must see to appreciate. Even at this reduced price, it may be a tough valuation by appraisal. MTC
2. MLS 26710 1401 Royal
Link: Property Information and Photos
Listing Agent Remarks: 5 generous size BR's, 4 baths. Master suite has large jet tub, shower, large well-lighted vanity.Practical design in MBR walk-in closet. Well lighted. Well-situated family room with Berber cpt, gas log fireplace, fan, 2 sets of French doors to patio. Large living room and attractive entry way. Reunion-size beautiful dining room with curved window wall overlooking the Bayard cliffs and the city lights. House sits high on hill but is somewhat protected by the hillside on the N. Greenhouse window.
BUYER COMMENTS: Like new "A" condition. Has it ever been lived in? Not much use for a ten year old home. Confused! Bayard property prices may not support a $245K asking price. Still it is nice. Can I move it to the country? MTCWR
3. MLS 26654 1709 Winifred. St
Link: Property Information and Photos
Listing Agent Remarks: Fixer upper in convenient location of Bayard. Close to schools. Owner have indicated that they will carry paper, with $10,000 down and 2 to 5 years. Garage has been enclosed, but not finished, could be master bedroom or family room. So I have only listed 2 bedrooms.
BUYER COMMENTS: Can you say disaster and in how many languages? Is this Vandal City or Halloween Party central? Oh my. I would need more than a single toolbelt for this project. DNMI
4. MLS 25620 428 E Maple
Link: Property Information and Photos
Listing Agent Remarks: On Bayard Springs Canyon, this cute little 3 bedroom, 1 bath home in a unique setting with a scenic view of the mountain. The yard is beautiful in bloom with all the fruit trees, shrubs, rosebushes and flowers! This would make a great little starter home and is affordably priced.
BUYER COMMENTS: More "what's this about" type questions. New city sewer line going in today as we toured. End of the road location with hills above and beyond. Carpet (most unusual lime green ever encountered) could be sold as antique. MTC
5. MLS 26326 329 Manhattan Park Drive
Link: Property Information and Photos
Listing Agent Remarks: Large manufactured house with skylights, bonus room, good insulation, breakfast nook, dining room, doublepaned windows, two-way fireplace, slab in backyard.
BUYER COMMENTS: Winner of best Quality Print out Award for 2010. Nice card stock. One of the more colorful homes seen recently. Don't let the color in one room fool you (it will be different in the next room). Paint is cheap so I wouldn't worry too much about the tastes. MTCWR
6. MLS 25966 204 Bellum
Link: Property Information and Photos
Listing Agent Remarks: BIG REDUCTION, NOW $89,000.00!! If your looking for a bargain home on a great lot, then your search is over. This is a super little adobe house in Santa Clara built up on a pretty rocky ridge with a really pretty spot with lots of character just waiting for the right owner. Although the house is only 1 bedroom, 1 bath, there could be room to build on to it. The lot which is a double lot is drop dead gorgeous, no matter where it would be located. Property has two water taps, and two gas taps. This house was built in or around the 1940's or 1950's, and for the period of time it was built in it is in excellent shape, just needing some TLC for a fine investment. House is being cleared of personal belongings, so interior pictures are coming soon. You just won't find a tract of land with this kind of character and a house to boot for this economical a price. Please call for more details and a showing.
BUYER COMMENTS: More carpet from (for) the antique store. Example of a nice lot in an average neighborhood. Don't let the images fool you. House is rougher than shown in handouts. Did you see the roof from the rear of the house? Another oh my! MTC
7. MLS 26656 379 Racetrack Road
Link: Property Information and Photos
Listing Agent Remarks: This home has some remodeling done - new kitchen - some new sheet rock, some floor covering. A big house on a great piece of property - if you can do some fix-up this might be just the place.
BUYER COMMENTS: Classic Remodel Project for Silver City. (In other words, "lets start doing a whole lot of things - and then let's not finish anything"). Improved condition from last listing and sale a few years ago, but not substantially. On the plus, the front (street side) offers some curb appeal, but the appeal quickly wanes as the home gets more exploration. Potential exists, but at this price? MTCWR

TOUR LEGEND:
MTC Property Makes the Cut - I will show it to any and all of my customers interested in this market
MTCWR - Made the cut with reservations.

TBD Property To Be Determined once I have visited the property personally or get reliable source feedback.
WTE Tour: Worth the effort to attend.
WWTE Tour: Well worth the effort to go on tour. Overall a good set of properties are visited

DISCLAIMER ABOUT THIS ENEWS: I am a Realtor Broker by profession. However, I will attempt to put myself in temporary "Buyer" mode, with the view of a potential buyer seeing the property for the first time."
In many cases my opinions will actually be on my first visit to the property. Hopefully these "from the gut" comments will approximate some of the unique buyer profile comments which we regularly hear, and may help folks to decide if the property should be seen or not.
