Have You Seen Liberty Park Lately?

I just listed another doll house on the South Hill at 422 S. Magnolia. This cute bungalow is just one block to Liberty Park with its newly renovated aquatic center, tennis courts, playground and baseball diamond! I haven’t been by Liberty Park in some time and that park is quite lovely with amazing amenities!

The home features newer carpet and vinyl, updated kitchen with new cabinets, updated bathroom with shower with two corner seats, fully updated electrical and plumbing 5 years ago, new roof 5 years ago, newer garage door and all appliances including range, refrigerator, washer & dryer stay with this home.

Doll House!

Sometimes I get to list a house that is truly a doll house. I just listed one in the Central Valley school district that is such a home. It is a one bedroom, one bath with a one car garage. It sits on a wonderful lot with great old growth trees that remind me of the old South. You can check out a virtual tour at http://www.tourfactory.com/1201867. The current owners had this little place rented for nine years to one tenant so it would make a pretty great rental for an investor, too.

Spokane Real Estate Market Update – First Half of 2014!

The market continues to improve bit by bit.  The Spokane Association of REALTORS reports the following:

601 closed sales of single family homes on less than one acre and condos were reported for June. This is the highest June number of closed sales in seven years.  Sales are up 8.9% for June compared to May of this year when 551 homes were reported sold. The average sales price for June was $190,142 compared to last month’s average sales price $182,352, up 4.3%. Median sales price for June was $172,000 up 4.9% over May when median sales price was $164,000. Through the first half of 2014 sales are up 2.7% over last year, 2,548 closed sales compared to 2,480 closed sales. The average sales price through June is $181,445 up 1% over last year at the same time when the average price was $179,570. The median sales price through the first six months of this year is $165,000 up 1.3% over last year when the median sales price was $162,900.

Did you catch that?  The best June in seven years?  Can I get a “Whoop, whoop?!”  So glad the market has continued to improve, even though it is a slowly, but surely proposition!  Sales are up. The average sales price is up.  Interest rates are still low.  It is a great time to buy and sell real estate!
