Here at the Leavenworth real estate blog we’re always searching for great topics to write about. Topics that you find interesting, educational, informative and once and awhile… life changing.

Unfortunately, these homes are scarce. 1 home has …
Leavenworth had its first auction for condos on Saturday December 13 for the Riverpark Homes located on Main Street. Simultaneous bidding occurred in Leavenworth and in Kenmore. Approximately 50-60 people were on hand in Leavenworth, though most were local agents, builders and looky loos. There were perhaps 10 buyers in Leavenworth.

Each summer in the Cascades, bears go through a period of hyperphagia starting in August …
Where has the summer gone? Allyson and I have been really busy this summer with all sorts of exciting projects. I’ll try to highlight some of them here, but I’ve also added a widget on the sidebar for anyone who wants a play by play of what I’m up to. If you have a Twitter account, you can follow me here.

Question: What is the number of single family homes on the Leavenworth market between $200,000 and $300,000. Answer: 19 A move up in price range brings a dramatic increase in the number of available listings. From my previous post, the number of listings under $200,000 was 4.

Mark wrote in with a question about Homes Sales Data Hey, Geordie – Here’s a question I’ve been wondering for a while. This might also be something that many other of your customers wonder about, so might be a good blog article topic, unless this is a big can of worms (or just a plain silly question). Here’s the question: Why is home sales …
Leavenworth home sales have finally begun to become affected by the economic realities that surround us. Readers of this blog have no doubt seen the dollar tanking, oil prices surging and the stock market diving – even a little more so as the second quarter of 2008 came to a halt. While the beginning of the year was kind to Leavenworth home sales, …
2021 update: not surprisingly most of the other blogs have long disappeared. Since the links don’t go anywhere, I have removed them, but I have kept the rest of this article intact.
