Leavenworth Real Estate | Sold Homes July 2010

 

In July, eight homes and one condo sold in Leavenworth.

 

 

232 Center Street, Leavenworth

List price: $229,900.  Sold price: $175,000.

Days on Market: 439

3 bedrooms | 1 bath | 976 sqft | .16 acres

Small Leavenworth rambler that has had a number of additions over the years.  I believe the house was listed with a Seattle area agent for a time, so the days on market is actually higher.

 

 

 

 

 

1213 Front Street, Leavenworth

List price: $499,900.  Sold price: $180,000.

Days on Market: 514

4 bedrooms | 1.75 bath | 2411 sqft | .16 acres

This 1914 classic home definitely has had a rough go.  Last sold in 2006 for $416,000, it came back on the market in Sept of 2008 for $499,900, then the bank took possession of it in the summer of 2009.  It went thru a few Fannie Mae auctions and failed to sell due to low bids.  The house is zoned commercially and can be used as a nightly rental, which was the original owners intent.  However, from what I heard, the city required sprinklers in every room to authorize it as a nightly rental and was going to make the owner of the home pay for upgraded sewer along Front St so there was enough pressure to run the sprinklers.  During foreclosure, an issue with the front porch came up where it was possibly going to have to come off due to foundation issues.  There was no guarantee that the front porch, once removed could be rebuilt due to “bavarianization” laws in the commercial zoning district.  All in all, it proved a hard sell, and while it got us some great clients, we were not the selling agents.

 

 

 

22507 Saddle Street, Leavenworth

List price: $289,500.  Sold price: $217,950.

Days on Market: 257

List price: $445,000.  Sold price: $305,000.

Days on Market: 382

3 bedrooms | 1.75 bath | 2200 sqft | 1.70 acres

This home is about a mile up Olalla Canyon and has a very nice setting with a well kept yard.  It has been on and off the market since 2007.  Its last listing price was $299,900 and my guess is the price was increased to cover part of the $9150 in closing costs the seller gave to the buyer.

Working Harder to Sell Your Leavenworth Home

• How do you “get found” on Google or Bing?
• What searches are home buyers using online?
• What is the “long tail” and how does it affect real estate?
• What is Google doing today that they didn’t last month?

 

I like to think that Allyson and I have embraced real estate kaizen – a culture of experimentation leading to continuous improvement. You might not see all the experiments we try – some of them fail. But know that we are  ALWAYS trying to do things a little better and always looking trying to find a way to build a better mousetrap.
