We use the term “months of supply” in real estate to tell us how much inventory of homes for sale we have on the market. The months of supply is the time it would take for all the current inventory to sell if it all sold at the current rate without new inventory coming on the market. What does supply mean in real estate? …
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. At that time, buyer demand for condos appeared low and inventory was starting to increase. Looking back at the first six months of 2020, it looks like demand for condos has returned and inventory is quite low again. While the number of closed sales …
When we wrote our first quarter report back in April we had only been in the first month or so of the coronavirus pandemic and we knew that it would have some unpredictable effects on real estate, both globally and locally.

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 …
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 …
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 …
