Local Landmarks: The Ripon Water Tower (San Joaquin County)

By Leave a Comment

I snapped the photo below the other day when going to Modesto for an inspection (yes, while driving – kids, don’t try that at home). This is the Ripon Water Tower and it’s an easy landmark to spot because of its large size and location right next to Highway 99. Ripon is located South of Stockton and just North of the Stanislaus County line (click HERE for map).

I am always intrigued by landmarks, design, bridges, houses, and other structures. What landmarks exist in your community? What do you think locals as well as passersby notice in your area when driving along the freeway or one of the main streets?

The Lowest Priced Multi-Unit Property on MLS (Sacramento Region)

By Leave a Comment

This blog hosts a “Lowest Priced House on MLS” category because it’s always interesting to see what the good ol’ American dollar can buy these days in this wild market. The last winner was a $12,500 house, but this time we’ll take a look at the lowest-priced multi-unit property (2-4 units).

And the winner is…. $35,900 (4 units)

90014782

414 S Conejo Avenue is a bank-owned property in Modesto and is described as a 4-unit property with 2 detached single family units as well as one 2-story duplex on the same lot (per MLS). As of today the property has been priced at $35,900 for 11 days. The lot size is 0.24 acres and the units appear to have been built in 1945 per Tax Records. This property sold previously in March 2006 for $330,000. The previous MLS listing from 2006 stated that the units had the following bed/bath count: 3/1, 2/1, 1/1, 1/1.

The current MLS listing states “this is a cash deal”, which is indicative of the condition most likely. If you have further questions, I am glad to put you in touch with the Agent. And no, I don’t have any connections with the Agent or this property.
