February Laurelhurst Real Estate Summary

Thanks to Kim Dales for providing us with this neighborhood real estate activity monthly report:




Although our volumes were a bit low in February, we had positive movement as you can see by the stats. 7 new listings, 3 previously listed homes went pending, and 3 pending homes closed. From the talk in my office we should be seeing a fair number of new listings in the month of March, which is fairly typical for the Laurelhurst market.

A few readers have been curious regarding the status of the home at 4738 47th Avene NE. (See the picture of the home below and blog post from July 2009)The home is a short sale, originally listed on June 21st, 2007 for $649,950 After its most recent price reduction on September 14th 2010 to $445,000, an offer was accepted on September 30th 2010. Bank of America is the lien holder, and they still have not agreed on the purchase price, therefore the home is still pending inspection. Although we are seeing a decrease in short sale time lines, this particular home has been pending inspection for over 5 months, a very long time for a buyer to wait.
