Priced at about $837 a square foot today, this home sits on 5.65 acres, and the lot is the main reason the figure looks the way it does. The city-wide median for Vista does not apply to a lot this size. Closed sales of homes on an acre or more in Vista over the last 12 months had a median of $482 a square foot across 96 sales. Condition, the pool and how much of the land is usable all move the number, so treat it as a starting point.
What to check
These are general points, not statements about this home’s condition. An inspector and the seller’s disclosures answer them for this property.
- Pool. A pool adds a pump, a filter, often a heater, and a safety barrier. A pool inspection checks the equipment, looks for leaks and reviews the surface, and it is separate from the home inspection.
Questions to ask before you make an offer
Bring these to Zarko before you make an offer. They come from what the listing shows, not from anything known about the seller.
- Who is the trustee, and who has to approve an offer?
- Where are the lot lines, and are there easements, fences or shared roads on the land?
- How old are the pool equipment and the surface, and has the pool been serviced regularly?
- Which items, such as appliances and fixtures, come with the sale?
