What happened on September 22
| Category | Address | Price |
|---|---|---|
| New listing | 5521 Starboard Ct | $849,000 |
| Went pending | 1073 Bradbury Dr | $499,000 |
| Recorded closing | 5539 Arcadia Cir | $730,000 |
The closing: 5539 Arcadia Cir
The deed recorded on September 22 for 5539 Arcadia Cir, a single-family home at 3,333 square feet. It appeared on the MLS feed on September 22 as a closed sale. The list price was $739,000; it sold for $730,000, a $9,000 reduction from ask. At 3,333 square feet, that works out to $219 per square foot.
To put that in context: the six most recent single-family closings in the broader Discovery Bay market (see table below) range from $272 to $535 per square foot. The Arcadia Cir figure sits below every one of them. That said, some of those comparables are meaningfully smaller or larger, and square footage alone does not explain price per square foot differences — lot size, condition, and location within Discovery Bay all factor in.
