Sacramentans' perception of Galt -- especially those who have never been to the city -- is that it's a long way from downtown, but it's really not any further to drive than to some parts of Elk Grove. Lots of law enforcement officials live in Galt, too. It's only 32 minutes from downtown Sacramento.
So, if you're yearning for wide-open spaces coupled with the lifestyle that a vibrant small-town community offers, Galt might be the place for you to live.
Here is a new short sale listing in Galt. It's located just minutes from Twin Cities Road off Highway 99.
This 2004-built pool home has 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, and is the largest model at 2,500 square feet. This contemporary style with high ceilings and more than $70,000 of upgrades is for sale at $277,200. Some of the upgrades include maple cabinetry, wood floors, granite counters, plantation shutters, and the family room with fireplace is wired for 7 speakers.
The back yard faces a greenbelt to the south. It has landscaping on the east and west, a concrete patio and a sparkling gunite construction pool. It also features a three-car garage and a side yard with a concrete pad for RV access.
The sellers are hoping for a June 1 closing date. If you're yearning for a pool home in Galt at an attractive price, call your Sacramento short sale agent, Elizabeth Weintraub, at 916.233.6759. Lyon Real Estate.
Property address: 1076 Elk Hills Drive, Galt, 95632. $277,200.

I need to read your new book. I know buying short sales are the best way to invest or buy real estate in today's economy but I am still a beginner...
Place looks really nice.
Elizabeth
What a nice home, and can I get you to autograph your new book for me? There is a reason the sun shines so brightly in California; it's because of wonderful people like you.
Sincerely
Tom Braatz
Nice place Elizabeth. If Galt is a 32 minute drive, around here we call that CLOSE!! Good luck with it. Your book is out? Did I miss that announcement. Email how I can get it. You HAVE to autograph it you know.
Nice place. Wouldn't mind having law enforcement as neighbors either. You'll sell this one in no time.
Hi Josef: Just received word today that it's going to press on Friday and will be released in June.
Hi Tom: Of course I will autograph my book for you. Hey, what do you think of this home, Tom? Lars would like it in Galt. I think Galt is your place. Look at all that room for Lars to run. I was thinking Carmichael, originally, but now I have changed my mind. You should absolutely consider Galt.
Hi Gary: Well, what can you say about Texas where everything is BIG and miles apart. :)
Hi Chris Ann: A retired cop lives next door to me. Neener, neener.
$277K !?!?!?!? Wow - what a seemingly phenomenal deal for that house at that price !
Good for you Elizabeth - I am loving following your success this year, and am looking forward to the book too :o)
Cheers !
Sheldon
PS: I got 2 shorts sales approved this week myself, and am waiting on a possible 3rd ! Yaay !!!
Looks like a great value and get the great outdoors included.
I bet the short sale negotiators love talking to you, Sheldon. You're such a riot. And congratulations on your short sale approvals! I know how hard you work. Still, I bet you have those negotiators rolling in in the aisles.
Hi Terry: Yeah, that back-yard view is incredible! And you can enjoy that fabulous view from the family room, living room kitchen and master suite.
Nice home, Elizabeth! It looks like a great price, too! :)
