My analysis of this week’s real estate buzz:

This week there’s more real estate sales activity, which is typical of the late winter-early spring market.  However, pricing is still very critical. This week’s sales are for homes under $1,000,000, with new construction as the most expensive sale priced at $925,000.

New listings:

None this week

Homes receiving offers:

$414,950 Edwards Place rambler with 1110 sq ft, originally priced at $424,950.

$712,500 Hidden Hills rambler, beautifully updated on a gorgeous lot, came back on the market after being priced in mid 700’s and received an offer this week.

Homes that are pending sales:

(home sales in which the inspection has been satisfied)

$579,000 Hidden Hills remodeled tri-level, which had originally been $675,000.

$699,950 Mid century modern home originally priced at $759,950.

$925,000 for new construction with 3700 sq ft in Solus in the Highlands.

Price reductions:

$1,999,999 for a home above 112th Ave NE  just listed last week at $2,150,000.

Closed sales:

(The new owner has taken ownership)

None this week, but with 2 sold this week and 3 pending sales, closed sales are coming!

Condos/Town homes:

Five town homes currently on the market, ranging from $440,000 up in Forbes Creek to 3 homes in Kirkland’s Highpointe priced from $599,000-$610,000.  The most expensive town home in the Highlands is priced at $689,000, after having been priced in the mid 700’s.

Have a great Presidents Day weekend.
