Sold for $490,000 After 5 Offers

3417 Maricopa Ave sold for $490,000 on September 23, 2026 after receiving 5 offers across the listing period. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow had been listed at $485,000. After an earlier contract did not reach closing, the home returned to active marketing, secured another accepted offer, and completed the sale. I represented the seller through Ask Ponytail Real Estate at Keller Williams Realty.

What made 3417 Maricopa Ave stand out?

The home paired a compact 2-bedroom layout with a detached garage, a long driveway, and fenced outdoor space. Those features gave buyers clear, practical value beyond the 789 sq ft interior.

Inside, updated dark flooring runs through the living room, hallway, and bedrooms. Corner windows bring in natural light, and the dining nook sits close to the kitchen without taking space from the living room.

The kitchen has white cabinets, tile counters, a patterned backsplash, and a new gas range and oven. The layout stays simple, with two bedrooms and one full bathroom on the main living level.

Outside, the 5,227 sq ft lot includes fenced front and back yards, lawn and paved space, a dog-run area, and the detached front-facing garage.

How did the sale of 3417 Maricopa Ave come together?

Situation

A strong start, then a second path to closing

The home attracted strong early interest, receiving 4 offers in its first 18 days on market. After an earlier accepted contract did not reach closing, the property returned to active marketing. The challenge was to bring the listing forward again without letting the prior transaction become the story.

The 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow had been listed at $485,000 and offered 789 sq ft of living area, a detached garage, a long driveway, updated flooring, a new gas range and oven, and fenced front and back yards.

Strategy

Keep the home easy to understand

The marketing highlighted visible, verified features such as the bright living spaces, updated flooring, new gas range and oven, detached garage, long driveway, and fenced yard.

The photo story led with the home's cleanest, strongest spaces and then moved through the exterior, kitchen and dining areas, bedrooms, bathroom, backyard, and garage. The goal was to make the layout and the property's practical features easy to understand at a glance.

The home remained offered at $485,000, and a new offer was accepted on September 6, 2026.

Result

$490,000 sale after 5 offers total

Across the full listing period, the home received 5 distinct offers. The final contract was accepted on September 6 and reached settlement on September 23, 17 days later.

The final sold price was $490,000. That was $5,000 above the original $485,000 list price, or about 101% of list.

The stronger result was the renewed buyer interest that led to another accepted offer and a completed sale.

What should owners know about recent North and East Richmond sales?

Over the three months ending August 2026, the median sale price in North and East Richmond was $599,711, with a median 16 days on market. About 69% of sales closed above list price during that period.

Those neighborhood figures cover homes of different sizes, conditions, lots, and bathroom counts. Recent September sales also showed a wide range of outcomes, which is why one neighborhood median should not be treated as the value of a specific home.

Local pricing note: 3417 Maricopa Ave sold for $490,000, about 101% of its $485,000 list price. The more useful case-study point is that the home returned to active marketing, secured another accepted offer, and completed the sale.
