Deal or No Deal: Walnut Creek on the Cheap
Click HERE for the results of this Deal or No Deal.
Nestled in the heart of Ignacio Valley, Walnut Creek is the heart of the Contra Costa County economy. During the dotcom boom, tech companies of all stripes opened offices downtown, as the skyline grew and housing developments began to dot the hillsides. (click on images to enlarge)
During the housing boom, surrounding towns like Antioch,
Brentwood and San Ramon saw rapid development as
homebuilders threw up houses where farms and rolling hills
once stood. Traffic, along with the local economy, grew, and
Walnut Creek gained mightily as its neighboring towns overflowed.
Housing prices in Walnut Creek shot up during the boom, like they did everywhere else, but the town’s relatively strong economy caused values to hold up relatively well. Median prices peaked at just north of $900,000 as recently as January 2008, but have since tumbled to just over
$600,000.
630 Sitka is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with 1,602
square feet on an nice sized lot. The property has a nice
yard and some updates, but there certainly is room for
improvement. The only question (of course) is whether
it’s a: DEAL or NO DEAL?
