  Former Seattle Mariners first baseman John Olerud won a neighborhood dispute when the Clyde Hill Board of Adjustment ruled that homeowners across the street must remove two trees that obstruct his view of Lake Washington and the Seattle skyline.   By Keith Ervin   Can you believe it!

The trees in question are one rare Chinese pine and the Colorado spruce tree and they are way tall and were there before the olerud bought their, 4 million dollar house. I saw this article in the Seattle Paper today. Congratulation on their ‘Win I think? My question is? Do we have many shades of green?   WE advertise that we drive green cars, and build with recycled lumber but are we really all that green?    I guess we ... 11/09/2012

The story ranked suburban cities based on the percentage of residents that own their home (known to contribute heavily to low crime rates and better upkeep of real estate), quality of available nearby schools (data gathered from GreatSchools.org's rankings), and the number of nearby amenities that support suburban lifestyles (ATMs, grocery stores, gas stations, etc.).  Clyde Hill ranked very high in all three categories with 89.7% of its residents owning their homes, a perfect 10.0 score for schools, and 1,026 nearby amenities.

Real Estate Market Overview   Our Greater Seattle-Bellevue real estate market continues to show normal seasonal patterns in inventory and sales rates, with both declining through the holidays toward the bottom usually coming in January. The most recent monthly median residential real estate market price of $359,950 in our area is now slightly below the previous low of $363,850 in March 2009, and right at the low end of the range we have been running in for nearly 2 years now. We are seeing reports of some recovery in the national housing market, but that is not reflected here yet, in spite of our relatively strong local economy. The overall condominium market is continuing to look visibly weaker than the single family home market, with a slip now well below what had been the stable mar... 12/27/2010

Real Estate Market Overview   Residential real estate market prices in our Greater Seattle & Eastside area have been running at a stable level for over 22 months now, jiggling up and down in a range of $380,000 +/-4%. The two highest points were June '09 and July '10 at just under $400,000, and the two lowest were March '09 and March '10 in the $365,000 range. This kind of statistical variation even on a base of 1,200 to 1,400 sales a month for all of King County makes me a little suspicious of the charts I see now and then of the sales activity in much smaller areas - those often purport to show what's hot and what's not, but the consistency from month to month may be a little questionable. We continue to see normal seasonal patterns progressing, although we did have a blip back up in... 11/28/2010

Cities have history, and housing has trends, and if you want a particular type of home, you will do better looking in the areas where they built a lot of them. So this post is for the relocation buyer planning on moving into the Greater Seattle area - a story of how the Seattle housing market developed, and how that affects the kind of home you might find in a particular area. From a housing stock point of view, there is little left of whatever homes were built in Seattle from its founding in 1851 to about 1900 other than some gorgeous Victorians on Capitol Hill and Queen Anne. Seattle was a lumber town, and also for a few years a coal shipping port from the mines at Newcastle. There was rapid growth in the first 30 years of the 20th century, particularly in central Seattle, Capitol Hil... 09/30/2010

We have been working for some time on a new homes-for-sale search system that would be better than almost anything else out there - very easy to use and helpful for both relocation buyers and local people thinking about a move - or just watching their neighborhood. So here it is: Greater Seattle Home Search.  Starting off with a fun little article on the evolution of housing in the Greater Seattle and Eastside areas - walking through the years looking at what styles they were building and where they were building them - and the implications for potential buyers thinking about different areas and what kind of house they want.    There are a lot of pre-defined searches in there, like $Million+ Homes For Sale on the Eastside, and easy map searches for you to zoom in on a particular neighb... 09/29/2010

Real Estate Market Overview   Residential real estate market prices in our Greater Seattle & Eastside area continue to be stable. The improved availability of jumbo financing for higher-end homes appears to be starting to have an effect, as sales in the top 10% range are showing an uptick. Monthly sales rates (number of transactions) are significantly lower that at the same time last year.  However, the number of new listings coming on the market has slowed proportionately, so our Months Supply inventory number actually shows a slight improvement.  That is good - if the supply/demand action is fairly balanced, then neither Buyers nor Sellers have to compete with each other, and prices tend to stay stable.  The condominium sales rate is still significantly below a year ago, but the medi... 09/29/2010
