How low can the number of homes for sale in the Kirkland Highlands go? It’s great news to see so few homes for sale in a long time.  During all of 2009, the lowest number of homes for sale in the neighborhood was in the low 20′s.   It makes sense to think of selling your Kirkland Highlands home now if you want to make a move in the near future.  You have less competition for a buyer. Don’t forget there are less than 60 days to use the home buyer tax credit.

Right now, there are no homes available in The Highlands for over $1 million.  This is also unusual for The Highlands neighborhood.

The real estate statistics below reflect the activity in The Kirkland Highlands for the past two weeks. All data is taken from the NWMLS through Monday of this week.

The map shows most of the outline of Kirkland’s Highlands neighborhood. The map address is simply for a street corner in the middle of the Kirkland Highlands. For those not familiar with the neighborhood, it’s a pocket of unique homes close to downtown Kirkland. In some ways it feels like an island, because it’s separated on the east by 405, the south by Central Way (the main route to downtown) and the west and north by the BNSF corridor. The neighborhood has the best of both worlds, a little isolation without any through traffic, but just seconds from everything.
