Seattle Real Estate is almost a misnomer in that sections of Seattle Home Prices do not move in unison. The highest performing area seems to be between Downtown and 85th to the North of Downtown (just above Green Lake).

Of particular interest when doing the most recent Seattle Home Price stats through 3rd quarter of 2009, is that bank-owned property and short sales sold higher on a price per square foot than “regular” sales.  So be careful not to overbid the “bargains”.

I’ve decided to change the name of this blog to augment www.SearchingSeattleBlog.com

Kirkland already has some fabulous area blogs and honestly, I love living in Kirkland, but there just aren’t enough things for me to say about Kirkland to create a dynamic blog.  Mostly because I can’t point to the homes for sale here and say which houses are great, which are overpriced, which are good investments, etc…  I’d love to, but it isn’t fair to my clients or the homeowners at large for me to do that. 

I will, of course, talk about Kirkland as well as Seattle and other Eastside locations.  Lots of ARDELL blogs, different strokes for different folks. I’ll find a “theme” for this one.
