Green Lake Real Estate Market Update From GreenLakeLoop.com

This is an excellent write up on the Green Lake Real estate market! 

It is from our Cooper Jacobs Real Estate Green Lake Blog which is largely anchored by Green Lake extraordinaire, Molly Cartwright in our office.  Molly is a great choice if you are looking for Green Lake Realtors, too. 

Here is the Green Lake post by Molly -

(You can reach her at Molly@CooperJacobs.com)

 

Friends want to know, am I keeping busy in the Green Lake Real Estate Market for 4th quarter…notoriously a sleepy time of the year for Realtors.  The answer is YES I’M BUSY!  Keeping track of the real estate market is a daily, constant routine and the inventory is literally changing every day.  Clients want to know what’s going on every day.

Many buyers are asking what’s up with this lack of inventory.  On the flip side, sellers are asking is it a good time to sell with home values seeming to be slipping.   True, the Green Lake real estate market has seen better inventory before, but the homes that are active are selling!  A home listed for sale on my street went for $10,000 over list price which means, yes, multiple offers.  Then there’s the bank owned property for sale around the corner.  So you really do need a professional Realtor in this market who can help you understand the market and the pros and cons.

So how is my favorite neighborhood, Green Lake, faring in this 4th Quarter so far?

Just to show you how active Green Lake’s real estate has been as we are nearing the end of the 4th quarter, here’s a quick snap shot.

Green Lake 4th Quarter 2011 Solds

If you want the short version, here goes:

High Sold Price
$910,000

Median Sold Price
$482,500

Low Sold Price
$246,500

The average price per square foot rounds out at just about $240.00 and with 63 days on the market, things have been selling for 98% of list price.

If YOU’RE interested in understanding the Green Lake Real Estate Market, I’d be happy to help.  I’ve lived in this ‘hood for 17 years and love every minute.

A Walk Around Magnolia's A Hill

Magnolia Blvd..  Walking The Bluff in Seattle's Magnolia Neighborhood:

Magnolia Blvd Homes

Usually we like to walk Discovery Park's Loop Trail or The North Beach Trail, but I wanted to be an urban hiker today in Magnolia.  Despite the 40 degree temperatures, after a short trip to REI for warmth reinforcements, we headed off from 34th Ave W straight up the A Hill side of Dravus.  I was suddenly reminded of the 4th of July when I hiked up a million stairs from Lake Union to East Queen Anne.  Once you go up the hill a few blocks you end up at the bottom of this wonderful multi-tiered staircase which rivals the steps at Golden Gardens.   It is an excellent start to walk and really gets your blood pumping.  It is also the hardest part and I love knowing that the hard part is over!

At the top of the staircase, when you finally get there, take a second and turn around because this is one of the MANY money shots from Magnolia.  Huffing and puffing and catching my breath, I was taken with the lovely view of the Space Needle and Downtown Seattle which seem like another world away when you are in Magnolia.   Further West as we kept going, we came across the wonderful Magnolia new construction development of Briarcliff.  If you are looking for new construction homes in Magnolia, then these large new Magnolia view homes might fit the bill.  There are some interesting floor plans and I would love to show you my favorite.  Briarcliff is nestled at the top of the hill with views of both Downtown Seattle and the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.

Keep walking back down the hill a bit going West and you will come to Magnolia Boulevard after passing many beautiful Magnolia view homes all in a large variety of styles, but every one of them beautiful and coveted by their owners.  There is a long list of Magnolia buyers who want to live here so if you are thinking about selling your Magnolia home, feel free to get in touch with me so I can give you some good tips on home selling tips and also current information on the Seattle Magnolia real estate market.

Take a left on the Boulevard and walk along the beautifully landscaped sidewalks with loads of charm and endless views all around you.  We walked for about a mile before cutting back over the hill to head back into The Village.  Magnolia Village homes have a great benefit of being right in the retail heart of this wonderful neighborhood.  Magnolia is truly a neighborhood that feels like an island and separate from the rest of Seattle.  Most people feel like they are in their own world there and The Magnolia Village is one of the key reasons why.

If you want to see some of my favorite Magnolia homes for sale, I would love to show them to you.  This neighborhood has it all and I highly recommend that you check Magnolia in Seattle out if  you are wondering which Seattle neighborhood is the best.

This is one of them.

The Shadow knows the gutter leaks---let the arm wrestling begin.

Gutters are always a big fighting point between me and my sellers when it comes time to list their home. Many sellers would like to skip this maintenance issue when they list their home becasue it just seems like a waste of money to them, but it is SO important and never more so than this time of year and in Seattle!

Via Charles Buell, Seattle Home Inspector (Charles Buell Inspections.com):

When it is not raining or has not rained for a long time, it can be difficult to have much to say about whether the gutters leak or not.  

It can become pretty obvious when it is actually raining.  (Believe it or not it does not rain ALL the time in Seattle.)
Rusted and leaking gutter
When inspecting a home, inspectors will check the gutters even when it is not raining in an attempt to find evidence of "past leaking."  Because gutters so often leak at corners, any signs of leaking at these areas will typically get noted in the report as showing signs of "past leaking." Also, steel gutters can actually rust through and leaks can develop almost anywhere.

As you can see in the following picture the Shadow can see a rust stain on the deck---indicative of a leak at the gutter above.  In this case there is a small hole in the gutter and there is actually still water dripping out of the rusted hole.  An important part of inspecting the gutters is inspecting the ground under the gutters.  On a day after a long dry spell about all the inspector might see is the rust stain on the deck and rust on the gutter.
Rust stain on deck below gutter
Whether these leaks are active or not during the time of the inspection is really not material because the end result is the same---repairs and/or replacement is necessary.  Let the arm wrestling begin.
 

Stains on soffits and fascia in these areas will likewise be reported on as evidence
of past leaks and---if possible---they will be checked with a moisture meter to perhaps add some clarification as to how recent the stains had been wet---or perhaps discover that they are still wet.

The connection seams of gutters do not stay sealed forever, and periodically they need to be resealed.

About Me: 

Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home.  Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.

Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine!  I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week.   Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real EstateBallard Real EstateGreen Lake Real EstateLaurelhurst Real EstateMagnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.

In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry.  With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.

 My office at Cooper Jacobs Real Estate LLC is located centrally near all my favorite Puget Sound neighborhoods just a few blocks up from Lake Union in Seattle’s Wallingford.  Cooper Jacobs Real Estate is a wonderful place filled with talented Seattle real estate brokers and I count myself extremely lucky that I get to spend so much time with these wonderful people.  We specialize in different Seattle neighborhoods and suburbs in both residential and commercial real estate and are all very passionate and excited about each of our favorite Seattle neighborhoods and industries!
