Seattle buyers saw a lot of new listings last week! Many of these caught our eye – see our faves below. In Kirkland, this $2M home turned heads; it received 11 offers yesterday! I’ll repeat what I repeat at the beginning of each new real estate season – buyers, be patient. There are still very few homes for sale. More homes are on the way. Sellers, if you want top dollar, you should be prepping your house and getting it listed ASAP. Hit reply; we can help!
This past week, our listing clients sold their condo at Fifth & Madison. We were thrilled to get their condo sold while there were three other similarly sized condos for sale simultaneously. We’ve also been busy negotiating inspections, writing offers for buyers (we’ll know what sticks tomorrow!), and shooting a new video on First Light (here’s a teaser.)
Noteworthy sales last week
- Highest % over asking: Finn Hill contemporary for 23% over
- Most expensive: West Bellevue home for $4.5M
- Least expensive: Greenwood condo for $235K
