Anonymous wants to buy a house in Leavenworth

A while back we added a couple of features to this website.

The first was a list of foreclosures in the Leavenworth area.  These can be tricky to search for and we know that sites like Zillow or Realty Trac don’t always have the most comprehensive info.

Unfortunately, we can’t just list all the foreclosures and short sales because some might consider that “Advertising” and it’s a big no-no to advertise other agents listings. (We can provide a search tool for all the listings available through the Multiple Listing Service – but we can’t point out specific listings.)

But I can email you a list, if that’s something that interests you.

In a similar vein, I created a list of Deals of the Week.  I don’t find a deal worth writing about every week, but I try. Again, these aren’t my listings and I don’t represent the seller, but I think they represent good values in our current market.

Lots of folks have signed up for this lists and I hope they are finding them useful.

 

A few weeks back, somebody filled out the form like this:

 

Your Name xxxx

Email 2222@2222.com

Phone 0000009999

Message You would get a lot more interest if you did not have to sign up to get your property info.

 

I’m sorry buddy, rules are rules. I can’t advertise other agents listings. Can’t. Cannot.

PS. In case it wasn’t clear, the authors of this real estate site, Geordie Romer and Allyson Zacharko are real estate agents.  Our income comes solely from commissions earned through the purchases of real estate. While we do have a few clients we have never met with face to face, we don’t have any clients whom we have not spoken to on the phone and/or emailed.  We like to think that we are genuinely nice people who try really hard to do a great job.  Don’t take our word for it though, read what some of our clients have said .

Update 5/7/2010

Wow! Thanks everyone for the amazing support.  We have had tons of requests from people asking to be added to either the Foreclosure list or the Deal of the Week list sinced we posted this article.

Don’t worry if you haven’t signed up yet, it’s “open enrollment” and we can add your name too whenever you’re ready.

What’s NEW on the Leavenworth real estate market?

It’s spring in Leavenworth and the birds are making nests, the glacier lillies and trillium are starting to bloom and people have put away their skis and dusted off their bicycles.

Real Estate yard signs are starting to pop up around the neighborhood too.  There certainly are more listings coming on the market every day.

But wait… haven’t I seen some of these listings before?

Yep, you sure have. (Some keep turning up like a bad penny.)

83 homes have come on the market in March or April this year. 49 of them have been on the market recently, some are listed with a new agent, some with a new price tag.

It boils down to this…. only 41% of the NEW listings… are really new.

Leavenworth Real Estate : 1st Quarter 2010

 

 

Of the 15 single family homes that sold in the first three months of 2010, 13 sold for less than $325,000. The other two were a house on Lake Wenatchee that sold for $850,000 and a 8000 square foot log home on the river that sold for more than $2 million.  There were no sales in the $400-$600,000 price range at all.

If this was the only data, I would be worried. Luckily, the second quarter looks better already.

The two houses that have sold in April average $480,000 and the 8 pending sales have an average of $430,000. These prices are much more in line with past years’.

The other good news is that the volume, or number of sales, is up considerably. Last year we only had 9 sales in the first quarter. While 15 sales isn’t a return to the boom years, it is a big jump (almost 70%).

Why did prices fall in the 1st quarter? I think it had to do with the number of foreclosure sales in our market. We only had 3 foreclosure sales, but that represents 20% of the total number. Is 20% abnormal? Nope, according to Zillow, that looks to be about average for Washington state.

But 20% of sales coming from foreclosures is new to Leavenworth.  From my count, bank owned properties were only 2% of all sales in 2009.  Looking at pending sales, I would guess that the foreclosure trend will continue, though maybe not at 20%.
