Eastside weekly wrap-up: let it snow!

Happy holidays and hope you’re all driving safely out there this week. Particularly on the Eastside as we’re closer to the mountains and will likely see a few more flurries than Seattle.

And while it’s cold and snowy, we hope you’ll consider donating to our our end-of-year fundraiser for Mary’s Place. Mary’s Place is an organization that provides safe, inclusive shelter and services that support women, children, and families on their journey out of homelessness. A small amount goes a long way to make sure No Child Sleeps Outside and Urban Living will match all your donations. We raised over $5,000 last year!

You can donate via Facebook, or if you’d prefer to donate directly just send us your receipt and we’ll match it.

For Eastside real estate, only 48 new listings this past week but that’s not surprising as we wind down the year. On the buy-side, 70 homes found potential new owners as they went under contract. Pending sales went up for the second week in a row as well but it will definitely be lower this week due to the holidays.

And for my favorite home this week? This vintage cottage on East Lake Sammamish! What kind of renovations would you do? Would you build something new?

We hope you all have a great holiday weekend full of family and joy! And I’ll make one more pitch for donations to Mary’s Place – that’s the best thing Santa could bring!
