2020 was an unexpected and unprecedented year in every way imaginable. No part of our lives or the economy was left unchanged from 2019 and real estate, especially in Leavenworth, was no different. Massive demand led to a huge increase in 2020 Leavenworth home prices. In the early spring months of March and April, we assumed that lockdowns and stay at home orders would …
When we wrote our spring market update for the Leavenworth real estate market, our fear was that inventory might not be able to meet the extremely strong buyer demand. It seemed likely that Leavenworth home prices would climb in the summer of 2020, but without any properties to sell the number of homes sold might come to a halt. Luckily, the number of new …
Earlier in the spring we documented the struggles that many condo sellers were having in the Leavenworth real estate market.

Leavenworth’s real estate market in the first quarter of 2020 began with the common theme of high buyer demand and low inventory. This is very typical of the Leavenworth area where many sellers take their homes off the market for the winter months and re-list in the spring.

We are also proud to share that Geordie Romer listed and sold more condos in Leavenworth in 2019 than any other broker. Leavenworth condo …
Bucking rumors and worries of a possible recession, the Leavenworth real estate market continues to break records in 2019. While many folks might be impressed by the ever increasing prices, what caught our eye the most is the incredible number of sold homes in the 3rd quarter of 2019. As you can see, 69 homes sold between July and September which is dramatically more …
Spring home sales in Leavenworth remained strong this year, despite a late appearance by Old Man Winter in February. The number of closed sales was nearly identical to the same period in 2018 and both median and average home prices increased dramatically. The average sold price for a single family home during this 3 month period climbed to $580,000 for a home in the …
For some reason, we like to think of the first quarter of the year as Spring, but that isn’t really the case is it? Only the last week and a half is Spring, but the rest is Winter on everyone’s calendar. This was certainly the case in Leavenworth this year, with February delivering a series of storms and snow flurries that were sure to …
Buyers, sellers, real estate brokers, and appraisers all find themselves asking the same question. Is the real estate market in Leavenworth slowing down?
