The Property
Property Overview
2,367 SF
Living Space
This highly desirable single-level home is situated directly on Woodward Lake, offering expansive lake views from five distinct areas: the kitchen, dining room, den, living room, and master bedroom. The property includes a private boat deck with direct access to the 54-acre lake. While the interior remains in original condition, the home benefits from significant structural updates — a newer roof and a newer air conditioning system — two of the most expensive items a homeowner can replace.

Extreme Scarcity
Woodward Lake is widely recognized as one of Fresno's most desirable master-planned communities. With only 201 of 1,158 homes on the water, lakefront properties represent just 17.4% of the community — creating extreme scarcity and high demand.
National real estate data consistently demonstrates that navigable water access adds substantial value, often commanding a premium of 30% to 50% over comparable inland homes. In the Woodward Lake community specifically, our analysis indicates a waterfront premium of approximately $80,000 to $120,000.
Community Amenities
Clubhouse, fitness room, Jr. Olympic pool, tennis courts, basketball court, beach area, playground, and a 2.25-mile walking path around the 54-acre lake.

Jason's listing — sold above asking
519 E Mallard — Waterfront Comp
The most direct comparable as a waterfront property. Sold for $870,000 in June 2025 at 2,500 SF. After adjustments, its value relative to the subject is $852,500. Notably, it sat on market for 130 days — suggesting initial overpricing.
809 E Catalina — Across the Street
Sold for $729,000 after 55 days (listed at $749,000). Features an upgraded kitchen and pool but lacks the waterfront location and boat dock. Adding the $120K waterfront premium brings its adjusted value to $823,000.
637 E Pintail — Condition Comp
Pending at $775,000 with just 7 days on market. Similar original condition but only 1,879 SF and two-story. When adjusted for size, waterfront premium, and single-story value, its adjusted value exceeds $1M — showing strong demand.
816 E Country View — Jason's Listing
My own listing in Woodward Lake. Single-level, fully upgraded, with pool at 2,890 SF. Listed at $815,000, secured a contract at $825,000 in just 8 days — demonstrating my ability to achieve above-asking results.

Cinematic Storytelling That Sells
I don't just list houses — I market lifestyles. For a unique property like 819 E Catalina Circle, standard photos aren't enough. I utilize high-end, cinematic video storytelling to emotionally anchor buyers to the property. For your home, we'll showcase the experience of Woodward Lake living — the views from five rooms and the private boat deck.
Deep Waterfront Premium Understanding
Many agents fail to accurately quantify the value of a lakefront location — either underpricing the home and leaving money on the table, or overpricing it and causing it to languish on the market (as seen with 519 E Mallard's 130 days). I understand that only 17.4% of Woodward Lake homes offer this lifestyle. I know how to market the experience to buyers willing to pay a premium for this rare opportunity.
Strategic "Original Condition" Positioning
While the home is in original condition, it possesses the "good bones" that buyers covet: a single-level layout, a newer roof, and a newer AC system. I will implement a targeted marketing strategy that highlights these high-value structural updates while presenting the original interior as a blank canvas for the buyer's dream waterfront vision. This is the same approach that helped 637 E Pintail Circle go under contract in just 7 days at $775,000.
Unmatched Discipline & Accountability
Success in real estate requires the same discipline as success in life. I recently underwent a massive personal transformation, losing over 140 pounds in a single year through sheer willpower, structured goal-setting, and public accountability. I bring this exact same relentless drive, resilience, and focus on "lead measures" to selling your home.
