Leavenworth – No Swine Flu in Our Market
The Leavenworth real estate market might be a little sluggish, but it’s not dying of swine flu.
As Mark Twain once said, “The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
BY AzRainman
Home buyers (or would be home buyers) - Leavenworth is not Detroit, Las Vegas, or even Seattle.
In the last few weeks I have written or received 6 offers to purchase real estate in the Leavenworth area. 3 of these offers have been outright REJECTED (with no counteroffer) by the sellers because they were so low.
In one, the would-be buyers wrote a letter ( a poor substitute for $50,000) to my sellers.
“M, our agent, has explained that Leavenworth has declined 10-25%, depending on its type and location”
Really, I’d love to see the source of your data for that little piece of info.
Here is my latest Leavenworth real estate report from the 1st quarter of 2009. Here is a similar report from Al Lorenz at the North Central Washington Real Estate Blog.
While activity has been low, prices here have remained stable. We have a huge inventory of unsold homes, but they aren’t foreclosures or recently built spec homes.
A handful of sellers may be motivated, but very few are needy.

Great post Geordie! Missed you at Unchained in Phoenix, but this post is an example of you knowing how to make it work!
Cheers, Al
[...] with those who feel that a monthly report has much statistical value and I am surprised by the low offers that some real estate agents are convincing their clients to submit because of some erroneous information floating around about price [...]
