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 …
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? We read reports in the Seattle papers about their market cooling off and wonder if the same thing is happening here. Are we headed to a more balanced market with more options for buyers or a systemic crash like we experienced …
Looking back at the second quarter Leavenworth real estate statistics for 2018, we see a familiar theme. Buyers continue to struggle with very limited choices in the Leavenworth market. More homes always get listed for sale in the spring, but it’s just not enough this year. While there were nearly 100 newly listed homes for sale, too many are at price ranges that are …
2017 Leavenworth home prices set many new records.

A record 178 single family homes sold in Leavenworth in 2017. This is a 10% increase from …
In the summer of 2017, the Leavenworth home prices continued on the path we have seen for the past few years. Demand remains strong and inventory very low. The number of new listings that came on the market in Leavenworth was identical to the summer of 2016, but since we had a dearth of listings coming into summer it meant not enough homes …
Most quarters we focus on the sales activity in our Leavenworth real estate update. We look at info about the number of sales, and the median and average home price to give us an approximation of the health of the real estate market. Large numbers of home sales and increasing prices tell us that demand is high. This quarter we’ll mix it up a …
In the past year or two, the demand for Leavenworth real estate has skyrocketed and the supply has dwindled. This is especially true in the Leavenworth condominium market leaving us with a Leavenworth condo shortage for 2017. Why do we call it a Leavenworth condo shortage? In the past 12 months a total of 30 condominiums have sold in the Leavenworth zipcode. The median …
2016 Leavenworth home prices remained strong compared to 2015 with continued strong buyer demand and overall low inventory. The median home price in Leavenworth for 2016 was $345,000 which is only trivially lower than 2015 and the average home price is up slightly to $397,000. While home buyers might feel that 2016 Leavenworth home prices were soaring, they actually remained stable. The average home …
(For readers with a keen eye, you will note that our July report referred to Q2 data as “summer home prices.” That report was really talking about SPRING prices in Leavenworth and the report you are reading now is the actual summer home price data.)
