San Simeons of the Night Bloom Posted: 13 Aug 2012 05:00 AM PDT A detached condominium with compartmentalized living and dining spaces, and spacious kitchen, three bedrooms, and a two car garage- that is standard definition of a San Simeon. Today we will look at the San Simeon homes of Mericort. Even though it is classified as a ‘Northwood’ home, it is still on the other side of the Culver, and fall under Tustin School District schools with Irvine addresses (Hicks Canyon Elementary, Orchard Hills Middle School and Beckman High School). 67 Night Bloom, Irvine CA 92602 Listing Price: $559,000 Beds/ Bath: 3 Beds/ 2.5 Bath Area: 1430 SF Price/ SF: $391 Year Built: 2005 Community: Northwood Style:  Two level, Tuscan Builder Tract Name: Tamarisk Builder Tract Code: TAMR (MLS listing says so, but I think it’s MERC Plan 1) Previous Sale Price: $580,000 on Dec 13, 2005 (First owner) Monthly expenses: Mortgage at 3.625% 30 YR Fixed: $2,039 Home Owner’s Association Dues: $156 Property Tax (1.0595%): $5922 Annually Mello Roos: $2452 Annually Property tax+ Mello Roos Monthly: $698 Fixed Monthly Expenses: $2893 This property was foreclosed a month ago at $473,500.

Would you be willing to pay $23,000 more than the identical/ comparable sale for the upgrades?  Would you rather do the cosmetic enhancements yourself than pay someone for doing the job before the sale? Do staged homes appeal better than the empty homes?
