Luxury Homes in Leavenworth and Wenatchee

Last Sunday’s Seattle Times Real Estate Section had an article about the price of luxury homes these days. The article discussed what a million dollars will buy you in the Puget Sound area these days. While you can get a great house, these homes are no longer considered luxury homes. In King County, this is now reserved for homes priced $3 million or more.

In the Leavenworth and Wenatchee area there are currently 6 homes for sale between $1-2 million dollars. For $1.75 million you can get a 10,000 square foot luxury homes in East Wenatchees Fancher Heights area with gorgeous views. $1.65 million buys a log home on the Wenatchee River with 21 acres and lots of privacy. $1.2 million buys a log home near Leavenworth on the river.

So far in 2006, only 4 homes have sold in our MLS for over $1,000,000. Two were on Lake Wenatchee, one on the Wenatchee River and the last was my listing on North Road. (A 4000 square foot brick view rambler.)

My opinion is that $1,000,000 still goes a long way in Leavenworth and Wenatchee. For buyers in this range, luxury is still an option.

North Road Auction

Many of you know that I am the listing agent for the spectacular brick rambler on North Road in Leavenworth. This great home was listed for $1,000,000.00 and we had a lot of interest in it. The home is under contract and we expect it to close shortly.

This home was the home of Ruby Smith and her estate will be auctioning all the furniture and other personal belongings in early December. For pictures and a list of items please click here.
