Housing Market Trends | The Latest Trends for Your Home

 

Housing Market Trends | Owning More Than One Home

The Perks of Owning More Than One Home | With the increase of remote work and hybrid in-office/work-from-home schedules, the idea of a second home becomes more achievable. Change up your “office” view, lock in a low mortgage rate, spend time closer to family, and diversify your wealth in real estate (which, if you haven’t heard, is pretty hot right now!). Read More

Welcome Our Data Analyst, Jeremy!

 
Not only is Jeremy new to the Strock Team – he holds a position that is completely new to Strock! Meet our Real Estate Data Business Analyst. Here he is in his natural habitat: getting data on our next property!
 
Jeremy just graduated from UCSC with his degree in Technology & Information Management, with a minor in Computer Engineering. Before working at Strock, he was interning as a software engineer at a military-industrial complex.
 
Outside of work, you’ll find him sailing, gaming, or reading. Oh, and he also loves (wait for it) spearfishing! He’ll snorkel in the Bay and hunt down rock cod, lingcod, or any type of crab. Jeremy, we are so excited to have you on this team!

This gorgeously updated home is within walking distance of 5 beaches, 2 lagoons, an urban hiking trail, delicious restaurants, & the Live Oak Farmers Market. You’re in the perfect location to get the most out of the Santa Cruz lifestyle, even before stepping through the front door. Inside you’ll fall in love with the kitchen (which may or may not convince you that you can indeed cook like Julia Child). The backyard is also to die for. You’ve heard of landscape, but this is landscaped – you’ll see what we mean.
 
3 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms | 1,812 SF | $1,984,000
 

1811 Alice Street, Santa Cruz

 
 
Imagine living 15 minutes from the beach, 30 minutes from Silicon Valley, and on 1.24 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This mostly flat, sunny lot in Felton could give you all of that, and potentially your dream home. Buildability reports are still pending, but look promising – originally there was a home built on this lot! What we can’t stop daydreaming about is the type of lifestyle you could have here: Historic Downtown Felton is only a couple of miles away, Henry Cowell State Park is essentially across the street from your neighborhood, and you will never run out of hiking options.
 
1.24 Acres | $395,000

Thank you for your kind words. We loved working with you!

“I recently completed the sale of my house in Aptos through Strock Realty. It was an excellent experience and I can’t recommend them more highly. I worked with Sarah and Ben as realtors and Kristina as my design manager. The team made recommendations for upgrades and staging to maximize the sale potential and attract the maximum number of qualified buyers. Everyone I came in contact with was personable and professional. I noted to Ben after the sale that selling one’s home is an emotional as well as a business transaction and his team was superb at recognizing that. They kept me well-informed and were extremely responsive to any questions I had. I ended up going through the Homelight program to make the transition to buying another home easier. In the end, we accepted an offer of 100K over the list price. I commend Ben and his team for their caring and professional work.”
