List price: $159,900.  Sold price: $150,000.

Days on Market: 60

2 bedrooms | .75 bath | 720 sqft | .08 acres

This little home sold as a Fannie Mae foreclosure.  Before it went into foreclosure it had been on and off the market since May 2008 and started at a list price of $249,900.  The previous owner had done some updating including the kitchen and flooring.  However, the house does not have alley access so there is no way to build a garage without tearing down the house.

Days on Market: 851

A small cabin with a huge garage–room for an RV plus an additional finished rec room upstairs.  The home is in the Alpine Acres neighborhood in Plain which does have Wenatchee River access.  The house has been on and off the market since March 2007.  The Plain Community Church borders the property.

List price: $346,000.  Sold price: $285,000.

Days on Market: 144

3 bedrooms | 2 bath | 2432 sqft | 5.33 acres

This home was a foreclosure and was not completely finished on the inside.  Additionally, a retaining wall was needed along the back patio to keep the hillside from sliding.  The house was on the market previously for 492 days with an asking price of $698,000.  The home is actually on Hinthorn Lane, a small private road off of Chumstick Highway.

 

 

12640 Shore Street, Leavenworth

List price: $529,000.  Sold price: $485,000.

Days on Market: 157

3 bedrooms | 3 bath | 1960 sqft | 1.10 acres

New construction home on one acre in the Icicle Creek valley.  The home has nice wood accents and great hardwood floors.  There is also a large shop/garage and a view of Wedge Mountain.

 

 

9450-60 Mountain Home Road, Leavenworth

List price: $941,000.  Sold price: $521,625.

4 bedrooms | 3 bath | 4153 sqft | 41 acres

This is on the top of Mountain Home Ridge and is only accessible in the winter by snowmobile.  The house has a view of Dryden and the Ingalls Creek valley along Hwy 97.  It has been on the market every summer since 2005.  The original list price was $941,000 in 2005 but they raised the asking price in subsequent summers, peaking in 2007 with an asking price of $1,300,000.

 

8787 Icicle Road, Leavenworth

List price: $1,275,000.  Sold price: $1,275,000.

Days on Market: 0

4 bedrooms | 4 bath | 7000 sqft | 2 acres

A beautiful and very large timber frame home just before the bridge on Icicle Road as you come from town.  It is tucked back off the road and while it is close to the river, it is not actually riverfront property.  The basement of the home could be used as its own separate apartment and I believe there are living quarters above the garage as well.  This was a bit of a ghost listing, as it was not actually on the multiple listing service.  Our sources tell us that the home was previously sold on a contract but the other buyer ended up cancelling the contract last year.

485 Alpine Place #5, Leavenworth

2 bedrooms | 1.75 bath | 1024 sqft |

One of eight units, it is a two floor townhouse style condo and can be used as a nightly rental.  The condo was a foreclosure and ended up going to auction where it sold.  The previous owners had it on and off the  market since 2006 and the asking price ranged from $249,000 to $219,000.

Leavenworth Real Estate 2010 Year End Review

I feel like I did pretty darned good job with my predictions last year for the Leavenworth real estate market.

Here’s what I said at the end of 2009.

• I would guess prices will continue to muddle along. Some neighborhoods will see price drops and others won’t. (See chart below.)
• Condo inventory will clear out.  I would guess that foreclosure or auctions will be part of this equation.(In early 2009 the Cascade Crest Condossold as short sales and later in the year the Haus Wunderbar project was foreclosed upon. We’ll do a full condo report soon.)
• The overall number of foreclosures and short sales will remain low. (Click here to see the 2010 Leavenworth Foreclosure Report.)
• Demand and prices for premium locations (waterfront properties) will remain strong.

 

 How did the Leavenworth real estate market fare in 2010?

• Average and median prices were down from 2009, about 5-6%.
• Average and median prices are down 11-12% from the peak. (Compared to Seattle Prices which are 25% below peak.)
• Number of sales is up 35%, but still far fewer than years past
