The Challenge
At over 3,000 sq ft, the home provided ample room and versatility, but its size also meant any upgrades could become expensive quickly. To stay strategic, we focused on enhancements that would deliver the greatest return.
The goals:
- Offer only necessary, high-impact upgrades
- Position the home as a luxury residence plus an income-producing or multi-generational opportunity
Our Strategy
We highlighted the home’s strongest features—its expansive layout, a newly finished 900+ sq ft lower-level space with its own entrance, and its walkability to the beach.
What we invested:
- Exterior Paint: $33,000
- Staging: $4,000
- Landscape & Fence: $10,000
Our approach included:
- Exterior Refresh: Updated the dated two-tone façade with a modern gray palette and bold blue front door, dramatically improving curb appeal and giving the home a luxurious presence.
- Staging the Bonus Space: Showcased the 900+ sq ft lower-level area as a valuable, flexible living space ideal for extended family or rental income.
- Backyard Transformation: Enhanced the underutilized yard by adding a gate for direct access to the beach trail—amplifying lifestyle appeal and connecting indoor-outdoor living.
- Premium Photography & Videography: Emphasized the home’s location in coveted Pedro Point and its proximity to the coastline.
These thoughtful upgrades positioned the property competitively and highlighted its full potential.
The Results
The property generated strong interest quickly. Within 16 days, it received compelling offers and ultimately sold for:
$1,975,000 — $76,112 over asking
This success stemmed from strategic upgrades and targeted marketing that showcased the home’s value without unnecessary overspending.
Key Takeaways
- Smart, budget-conscious improvements deliver meaningful results
- Professional staging elevates buyer perception and demonstrates versatility
- Strong visual marketing accelerates engagement
- Strategic positioning leads to fast, above-asking outcomes
We make your home look its best—so you get the most.
