November was, well November in Laurelhurst! With holidays right around the corner there were only 3 new listings, but the good news is that 2 went pending in only 12 days.
Only one property closed in November, non-beach club, for $574,500. If you are thinking of listing your home in the spring, here are basic preparation items sooner that should be done sooner rather than later that will take the stress out of a stressful process:
- Do your annual furnace service and make sure the company puts a sticker on your furnace.
- Earthquake strap your water heater. This is something a home inspector will check during the inspection process.
- Do a visual of your attic to check for rodent activity. If you don't find it the inspector will. Eliminate as necessary.
- Place Carbon Monoxide (CO) monitors on each floor. This is code and was effective April 2012. These monitors will alarm if there are elevated levels of Carbon Monoxide which is colorless and odorless.
