This hillside home in the Casa de Oro, Mt. Helix area caught buyers' attention this week. It picked up 86 saves on Zillow, more than most of this week's finalists. That's 1.2 times the average save count among this week's finalists. I'm already alerting my buyers who want a view lot in this part of La Mesa. A perched lot like this doesn't come along often.

Why buyers slowed down on this one

Perched on a private hillside street in Casa de Oro, Mt. Helix, this remodeled 4 bed, 2 bath home offers views from nearly every room. Vaulted ceilings and big windows bring in light and frame the view. The layout separates a formal living room from an open kitchen, dining, and family room. The remodeled kitchen has a walk-in pantry and opens to the main living space. The lot sits just under half an acre, with a long driveway that could fit an RV and a big backyard with room to build out.

From the listing: “Well perched atop a private hillside street in the highly desirable Casa de Oro–Mount Helix area, this beautifully remodeled 4 bed, 2 bath, ~2,000 SF home offers unobstructed panoramic views from nearly every room!”
