Leavenworth Real Estate

Leavenworth Home Prices Spring 2010

Reporting about Leavenworth home prices usually starts with a great image of a half filled cup.  It’s rarely a simple story and there is both good news and bad depending on whether you are buying or selling a home.

Let’s start with a chart comparing Q2 of 2010 to previous years.

• The number of sales this quarter was up 50% from last year’s dismal numbers.
• The number of sales is still 50% of 2006’s stellar numbers
• Home prices have remained fairly flat over the past few years.

What numbers are missing from this chart?

• The number of pending sales (contracts agreed to) is nearly identical from 2009 to 2010. This may not be a good sign for the rest of summer.
• We have a record number of homes on the market in Leavenworth. Buyers have more choices than ever before. On July 9th, 2010 we reached the 200 homes threshold.

As I mentioned over on our Facebook page, I would rather be a buyer than a seller in the Leavenworth market. On the other hand I’d rather be selling a home in Leavenworth than trying to sell one in Cleveland, Detroit, Las Vegas or Phoenix.
