Green Lake Homes are Selling!

Green Lake Homes are Selling!

Here we are in December 2010 and rumor has it, one of the slowest times of the year for real estate.  Or is it?

Taking a look at the real estate stats for the last 30 days in the Green Lake neighborhood, there has been 24 transactions.  18 solds and 6 pending to close.  Not too shabby!  Along with these closed or closing homes, there’s 15 active homes on the market right now.  Looking at the last two months of inventory in Green Lake, it appears the inventory has reduced just a bit from 29 active homes.

The median price range has held steady in these autumn months - teetering back and forth between $493,500 and $498,000 but from October through today sellers have retained 98% of their list price.

Cooper Jacobs Real Estate currently represents three properties in Green Lake in all three categories - one closed, one pending to close and one active.  We’ve seen a demand for quality, newer or newly remodeled homes.

Grandly Restored Green Lake Craftman

For example this beautifully restored craftsman on Meridian - blocks from Blanchet High School.     Selling for full asking price, the seller honed in (with a lot of sweat equity) on her restoration efforts by keeping true to the era of the house but also keeping in mind energy efficiencies and qualities people are seeking for in a newer home today.

Newly remodeled Green Lake home

Another stunning Green Lake remodeled home is pending to close.  The sellers also kept true to the beautiful craftsman’s lofty ceilings, bold crown moulding, and predictable roofline and pillars.  They created warm and inviting rooms that their family shared the most time in, making practical spaces throughout the entire 2400 square foot house.

And last but certainly not least is a 2006 newer home in Green Lake for sale.  If you’re looking for a spacious home with openess and comfort then look no further.  This home has it all and just blocks to the lake for a morning walk or pedal on the bike commuting lane for work.  The possibilities are endless for this over 3400 square foot house complete with 4 bedrooms and 4.25 baths.  A huge garage and extra parking in the back is perfect for your recreational toys too!

North Seattle Real Estate: Green Lake Homes

Green Lake homesIn the Northern part of Seattle, you can find homes in the amazing neighborhood of Green Lake! Green Lake official neighborhood boundaries are pretty much on the North and West side of the lake itself (between I-5 and 99 and 85th and 50th), but I consider all the homes that surround Greenlake to be in the neighborhood of Green Lake or to at least have that same feeling.  The fact of the matter is if you are within a few blocks or more from the lake then you are in Green Lake real estate zone or close enough.  Our Seattle neighborhood boundaries are “flexible”.

So why does everyone want to live by this lake?

The actual Greenlake park is pretty wonderful with large open spaces and a loop that surrounds the lake itself.  It  is roughly three miles long and quite an asset to have close by!  This is why other close by neighborhoods can seem to mash into Green lake a bit.

Homes in this North Seattle area of Green Lake include some wonderful choices and  interesting real estate! Green Lake townhomes, condos, bungalows, and newer Built Green options are all here!  You can find homes anywhere between 1900 and new construction in Green Lake, but many tend to be 1920 ans 1930 built homes.  Some are in original condition and falling apart, but luckily most of the homes in this area have been lovingly restored!  Townhouse developments here are thoughtful and there are a lot of green real estate options as well.
