The past two weeks were quieter than about a month ago when there were 5 new listings on the market.  This week there are two new listings, there have been a few sales, and a few homes  came off the market as they had not sold.  Although there were sales this week, there were no sales that closed.  Since there have been more sales happening, I expect to see some closed sales in my next report.  Right now, the Highlands has a mix of some great homes for sale in price ranges from the low $300′s to over $1 million.  There’s something for everyone here as the Highlands has a wide variety of housing styles and prices.  The Highlands is located close to downtown Kirkland and has great access to the highway 405, so it’s a terrific location.

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.

The Kirkland Highlands real estate market is breaking out of the tight price range of $350-750,000 that we’ve seen over the last month or so.  There’s now a home available under $350,000, a home for sale in the $800′s and two for sale over $1 million.  This range is more representative of all the homes available in the Highlands neighborhood.  Real estate sales are still good as two home are now pending and two home sales closed.  One of the sales happened in two days and was for full price!  Full price offers are rare in this market, but there are some buyers who recognize a good value and go for it.

This week there are a couple of more homes for sale, so we might see more coming on the market in the next month or so, which is pretty typical for summer.
