December Neighborhood Real Estate Report

Kim Dales has provided this neighborhood real estate activity monthly report:

 

 

 

There were no new listing during the month of December with only 4 homes closing. There are currently 3 waterfront homes on the market and a few properties that have been on greater than 60 days.

 

Based on days on market, especially in our neighborhood, if a home has been on the market greater than 3 weeks the 2 major factors affecting the sale are price and presentation.   Unlike factors that we can't control like location, access and interest rates, price and presentation can be manipulated resulting in a quick sale. 

 

If you are thinking of making a move rest assured there are many buyers out there who would love to live in Laurelhurst.
