Priced at about $560 a square foot today, this home sits on 4.34 acres, and the lot is the main reason the figure looks the way it does. The city-wide median for Temecula does not apply to a lot this size. Closed sales of homes on an acre or more in Temecula over the last 12 months had a median of $455 a square foot across 148 sales. Condition 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.
- Septic system. A septic system is a buried tank and drain field in place of a city sewer line. A septic inspection, which usually includes pumping and checking the tank, is separate from a standard home inspection, so a buyer asks for it by name.
- Age of the home. Homes built before 1990 can still have original electrical panels, plumbing, windows and water heaters. An inspector can date each major system so a buyer can plan for what is likely to need replacing.
Questions to ask the listing agent
These questions follow from the facts in the listing. The listing agent is the person to ask.
- Does the sale need court confirmation, and how long does that usually take?
- When was the septic tank last pumped, and are there records of past inspections?
- Where are the lot lines, and are there easements, fences or shared roads on the land?
- Which major systems, such as the electrical panel, plumbing and water heater, have been replaced?
- Which items, such as appliances and fixtures, come with the sale?
