As of this morning, we have 72 listings on the market in the ZIP 95818. This ZIP encompasses an area from a few blocks north of Broadway all the way to Sutterville, and between I-5 on the West and the railroad tracks on the East. The two major neighborhoods are Land Park and Curtis Park.
Residents, myself included, like living here because we are close to downtown / Midtown Sacramento, we can walk to restaurants, stores, parks, the Zoo and the river. We enjoy tree-canopied streets, friendly neighbors, and there's a general pride of ownership in the area, making Land Park and Curtis Park a desirable place to live. With that desirability, though, comes a price. And that price is reflected in how much it costs to buy a home in Land Park or Curtis Park.
The median sales price for April in 95818 is $350,000. The median sales price for April in Sacramento County is $165,000. Of the 72 listings in 95818, 20 of those homes are priced under $350,000.
Here is an example of a 3 bedroom / 1 1/2 bath home in Land Park that is available for sale. It is not a foreclosure nor a short sale. It is owned by a seller who paid off her mortgage a long time ago. You can buy this home for $285,000.
It was built in 1952, which just happens to be the year I was born! The hardwood floors have been refinished and are positively gleaming with shine and sparkle. It has good sized bedrooms, an updated kitchen with granite counters, an extra work room, an attached 2-car garage and a big back yard begging for a spring vegetable or flower garden.
2738 San Luis Court, Sacramento, CA 95818
