Friends want to know, am I keeping busy in the Green Lake Real Estate Market for 4th quarter…notoriously a sleepy time of the year for Realtors.  The answer is YES I’M BUSY!  Keeping track of the real estate market is a daily, constant routine and the inventory is literally changing every day.  Clients want to know what’s going on every day.

Many buyers are asking what’s up with this lack of inventory.  On the flip side, sellers are asking is it a good time to sell with home values seeming to be slipping.   True, the Green Lake real estate market has seen better inventory before, but the homes that are active are selling!  A home listed for sale on my street went for $10,000 over list price which means, yes, multiple offers.  Then there’s the bank owned property for sale around the corner.  So you really do need a professional Realtor in this market who can help you understand the market and the pros and cons.

So how is my favorite neighborhood, Green Lake, faring in this 4th Quarter so far?

Just to show you how active Green Lake’s real estate has been as we are nearing the end of the 4th quarter, here’s a quick snap shot.

Green Lake 4th Quarter 2011 Solds

If you want the short version, here goes:

High Sold Price
$910,000

Median Sold Price
$482,500

Low Sold Price
$246,500

The average price per square foot rounds out at just about $240.00 and with 63 days on the market, things have been selling for 98% of list price.

If YOU’RE interested in understanding the Green Lake Real Estate Market, I’d be happy to help.  I’ve lived in this ‘hood for 17 years and love every minute.

Green Lake Pathway of Lights 2012 Tonight Beginning At 5PM

By Courtney Cooper, Seattle Realtor, 206.850.8841, courtney@cooperjacobs.com, on December 10th, 2011%

Don’t Forget The Green Lake Pathway of Lights Tonight!

The Green Lake path is something I hold very dear and near to me.  This year in particular, I have been one with it and walked it on most days during the year only to stray to the Lake Union Loop, Queen Anne Boulevard, or the Discovery Park Loop Trail once in a while.

From to the Seattle Parks & Rec Site: 

This years event is Dec 10th, 2011 from 5-8 p.m. (every 2nd Sat in Dec.). This yearly event brings neighbors, friends, families and Seattle together to light up the night in one of the darkest months of the year in a celebration of light and the many holidays of December. Volunteer music groups, and people setting up and taking down the candles and helping with the event wanted!

The event is free and open to the public and this year is December 10th, 2011 from 5-8pm. The event includes 4 music stages around the 2.8 mile lake, with holiday performances by music groups of 20 or less (unamplified). The 2.8 miles of the interior of the lake are light by over 2500 candles; in addition docks and some paths leading to the lake are also lit. You are encouraged to light up the night yourself, with glow sticks and other items.

Green Lake is a wonderful Seattle neighborhood – if you are interested in Green Lake homes for sale, please let us know what we can do for you.  We have excellent Green Lake listing agents and also some of the very best Green Lake Realtors for buyers.  Cooper Jacobs Real Estate is different and we want to show you why.  realestate@cooperjacobs.com
