I’m Having a Garage Sale Saturday, the 11th, in The Kirkland Highlands

In Kirkland Garage Sale, Kirkland WA on October 9, 2008 at 6:57 pm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, it’s my turn to have the once a decade garage sale.  I hate to do them, really, but I’ve been on a “tear” lately, trying to simpify and make sure things are being used or recycled.  I want my “stuff” to be useful to someone.  I’ve had too much stuff in my garage and closets and it’s time to let some of it move on.  It’s funny how cleaning out “stuff” can be such a catharis.  Hey, I can’t change the economic news, but I can sure clean out my garage.

I have some furniture, mostly antiques, some in need of work:

  • one school desk with a place for an ink well (early 1900′s)
  • one oak desk chair (early to mid 1900′s)
  • one antique sewing machine refinished by yours truly
  • one Bentwood style chair
  • a computer desk
  • coffee table with tile top
  • Oak drop leaf dining table
  • photo printer
  • antique mirrors  
  • Framed and numbered prints
  • a few paintings
  • lots of other “stuff”

So stop on by on Saturday, from 9-4 PM at 9415 110th PL NE in the Kirkland Highlands.  Stop by, buy something, and say hello. 

And, if you’re near the “senior/boomer” side of life, I will be giving away Vial of Life bottles for you to use in emergency situations.  The vials are part of a project from The Kirkland Senior Council and Bellevue’s Network on Aging.  Since I happen to be working on this project, I thought it would be a great way to get some more of the vials out to people.

All quiet on the Kirkland Highlands’ real estate front.  There was only one change to the real estate statistics since last week, the addition of one home for sale.  The number of homes available in the Highlands now stands at 26.  There were no other changes in real estate activity for this week. 

The real estate news for King County in general shows a decrease in inventory, we are back down to early June, 2008 totals, and an increase in pending sales in September.  Times are certainly different, no doubt, but if anything like the past holds true, competition may lessen as we get closer to the end of the year, which may help those sellers who want or need to sell. 

Are homes selling?  I analyzed my real estate activity for the year, which happened in a variety of eastside neighborhoods and found homeowners making moves for all the typical reasons.  As hard as things are right now with the economy, there are still people who want and need to make a move.
