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.

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.

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 Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia 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.
