A 2,200-square-foot home on Glenn Avenue originally listed for $950,000 has seen two recent price cuts, bringing its current price down to $865,000.
Located close to Mariposa Avenue, the home was built in 2017 and sits on just over half an acre, according to online descriptions from real estate site Zillow.
Photos show an open floor plan with a kitchen island and a master suite with walk-in closets. Outside, a wood fence surrounds the front yard, and a two-car garage can be seen, with a roll-up glass door opening to the back patio. A spacious backyard features a covered patio and fire pit. According to the listing, all applicable connections for water, gas, and electricity are available for an outdoor kitchen.
Online maps show Cripple Creek runs through the property. Photos show a lit bridge has been constructed across the creek to the adjoining land on the property. Listing Agent Terri Martinez said Friday that land beyond the bridge can be built on, however, new owners will need to verify with Sacramento County what portion of the land is buildable and what portion is located in a 100-year floodplain.
The home was listed for sale in the beginning of November 2024 at $950,000, then the listing dropped to $899,000 in mid-November, before dropping to $865,000 at the end of November.
Prior to the new construction, the property previously sold for $175,000 in February 2016 and then sold again in November 2016 for $97,000. Records show the property was listed for sale again in 2017 for $495,000, but didn’t sell until dropping in price to $455,000.
Google images from prior years show a vastly different property, with a chain-link fence lined with multiple trees and shrubs enclosing the front yard of a single-story house until 2016. Sacramento County Assessor’s office records show the home was built again in 2017.
Martinez called the home “stunning” on the inside and said the current owners have done a lot of work on the home since 2017, including redoing the flooring inside and improving the back patio. Martinez confirmed the home was rebuilt completely in 2017 and purchased by the current owners afterward. The owners did not use the home as a vacation or short-term rental home, Martinez said.
Although the median sales price in Citrus Heights is $511,000 and the average sales price is $519,000 for the months of October and November combined, according to Sacramento Real Estate Appraiser and housing analyst Ryan Lundquist, several houses in the area are hovering in the $700,000 to over $800,000 range.
Another four-bedroom, three-bathroom house on Buckhaven Way is currently listed for $760,000. The property was originally listed for $799,000 in October but experienced two price changes before settling at $760,000. Another 2,500-square-foot home on Maddie Mae Lane just listed for $850,000 in early December. Another 2,600-square-foot home on Glenn Alta Way listed for $750,000 has been on the market for 70 days, well above the 28-day average.
