LakeLand Village Homes for Sale & Sold Market Report ~Allyn, WA~ August~

LakeLand Village~Homes for Sale~Homes Sold~Market Report~LakeLand Village for the month of August 2010~

Fall is in the air, the weather can't decide whether it wants to rain or not, be hot or cold and the days are slowly getting a little shorter......  The kids are getting ready to head back to school August 1st as well! 

So what is the LakeLand Village Real Estate Market doing during this season transition?

LakeLand Village had seen a steady rate of 2 homes sold per month on the average over the past year, but we seemed to have dropped to only one per month for the month of August as well as a few other months this year only showed one closing in LakeLand Village.  

One home for sale accepted an offer and was placed under contract during the month of August. Not a good sign for buyer activity, but it was a higher end home which was nice to see a higher end home selling.

Pending sales and solds do reflect that the buyers are all shopping in a price range of well under $350,000 for the most part...  Hmmm.... if you are selling your home these are really important numbers to be looking at! The dollars per square foot they are making offers on is pretty astounding to see! 

The inventory of homes for sale in LakeLand Village is at 27 active homes for sale listed with Real Estate Agents. It has stayed consistent inventory wise. This time of year is typically when we start to see more homes come off the market for sale as owners re-group and possibly go a different route with their real estate goals.  Let's check out the numbers...

Active Homes for Sale In LakeLand Village:

• Average Price : $306,507
  • (2) under $200,000
  • (6) $200,000 to $250,000
  • (6) $250,000 to $300,000
  • (7) $300,000 to $350,000
  • (5) $350,000 to $400,000
  • (0) (400,000 to $450,000
  • (1) over $500,000
• Average $$'s per square foot : $159.97
• Average Days on the Market: 237 days

Pending Homes Sales in LakeLand Village:

Out of the many homes for sale in LakeLand Village over the last six months, there are currently 3 homes for sale pending (meaning they have mutually accepted offers on them between buyer and seller). The summary is:

• Average Price : $244,975
• Average $$'s per square foot : $113.33
• Average Days on the Market: 724.50 days  (looking to find out how to shorten your market time??  Call me let's talk about it!)

One of the reasons two of these homes are still pending is because they are short sales. A short sale is when a seller owes more on the property that what they are selling it for. 

Sold Homes in LakeLand Village:

There was only one home that sold in the month of August in LakeLand Village.

It was not a  bank owned property nor a short sale.  It was a higher end home listed at $395,000 and sold for $380,000.  We have not seen a sale above $350,000  for the year in Lakeland Village until now . The average dollar per square foot of the sold home was $134.56 which is right on the money for what the normal resales in LakeLand Village have been selling for. 

We are all hoping to see more activity in the coming months and the home sale market stabilizing into a more normal pattern.  It has been a fairly unpredictable market as of late just not knowing or seeing as many buyers coming through the door.

So what's the deal Buyers?  Tell us - what is holding you back?? There are so many awesome homes at awesome prices out there.... there is something for everyone!

Well - until next time - HAVE A SUPER DAY!  See ya next month!   

LakeLand Village Homes for Sale & Sold Market Report ~Allyn, WA~ June

LakeLand Village~Homes for Sale~Homes Sold~Market Report~LakeLand Village for the month of June 2010~

Spring is in the air, the weather can't decide whether it wants to rain or not, the days are longer and brighter with the time change; we made it through the wet, rainy Memorial Day weekend - so it's GOT to get better - right??

One home for sale accepted an offer and was placed under contract during the month of June as well and there is still one that has not closed that is still pending that was put under contract in March. I believe this was a short sale hence the reason it has not closed as of yet.

Spring is in the air, the weather can't decide whether it wants to rain or not, the days are longer and brighter with the time change; we made it through the wet, rainy Memorial Day weekend - so it's GOT to get better - right??

So what's the real estate market doing this spring season for homes for sale in LakeLand Village ?

We had great hopes of having many buyers out and about to be able to take advantage of the  First Time home buyers tax Credit as well as the expansion credit to current homeowners, and LakeLand Village did show four sold homes in the month of April, but there were no buyers who came under contract during the month of April....  one home was placed under contract during the month of May as well and there is still one that has not closed that is still pending that was put under contract in March.

LakeLand Village Homes for Sale and Sold~Market Report~March 2010 Real Estate Market Report~

The calendar says it is spring, but the weather sure has been a little more wintry than we would expect!  I know we are all waiting for some warmer and sunnier weather and soon it will be upon us....

SO how about the real estate weather in LakeLand Village for the month of March?  What's been going on?  Let's take a look....

We had great hopes of having many buyers out and about to be able to take advantage of the of the First Time home buyers tax Credit as well as the expansion credit to current homeowners, and March showed quite a few homes for sale in LakeLand Village with accepted offers.

Pending sales and solds do reflect that the buyers are all shopping in a price range of well under $300,000 for the most part...  Hmmm.... if you are selling your home these are really important numbers to be looking at!

The inventory of homes for sale in LakeLand Village is at 28 active homes for sale listed with Real Estate Agents. It has stayed consistent for quite a few months with some homes coming off the market, some receiving offers and being sold. This is typically when we do see more homes come on the market for sale though.

• Average Days on the Market: 302

January 2010 showed one home sold; February showed there were NO sold properties in LakeLand Village for the month of February.

Out of the six current pending homes for sale, 3 of those came under mutually accepted contract in February and the other 3 came under a mutually accepted contract in March.  Hopefully April will see some of these homes close.   Will keep you posted!

There was one home sold (the transaction was completed and the home now has new owners) -

Hood Canal & Puget Sound Waterfront Homes for Sale~Market Report for January 2010 through March 25, 2010

It is definitely nice to say goodby to winter and hello to spring and summer all around!

It was an interesting winter along the  Hood Canal & Puget Sound! Things are starting to come to life along the waterfront as spring blossoms.  Buyers are starting to peak their heads out and into some of the homes for sale along the North Shore, South Shore of Hood Canal as well as Case Inlet/Puget Sound, summer is surely around the corner!

A drive along the South Shore of Hood Canal, the North Shore of Hood Canal and Case Inlet/Puget Sound will refresh your memory of the beauty and pristine waters and homes for sale along the water along with the ever-changing scenery that goes along with the change of the tides. 

Let's take a look at what has been happening since the beginning of 2010 with homes for sale along the Hood Canal and Puget Sound Waterfront.

Between all three shores, South Shore Hood Canal, North Shore Hood Canal and the Puget Sound/Case Inlet area,  there are a total of 37 homes for sale along the Hood Canal & Puget Sound/Case Inlet.  This will more than likely start to increase as we move full swing into spring and summer - our waterfront season. There are some really good values on Hood Canal & Puget Sound Waterfront homes for sale.

Homes currently for sale along the Hood Canal and Puget Sound as active listings :  37 -This stayed a fairly consistent number throughout the winter months.

• The average price of these homes  : $763,199 (there are so many choices in so many price ranges this number is high because of (3) million $ plus homes for sale) and one home that was listed at $849,000 sold as well). There are 16 waterfront homes for sale under $500,000 and the rest vary on up to $5,995,000.00
• Average dollars per square foot : $364.48
• Average Days on the market : 380

So as you can see there are a lot of choices in a lot of price ranges!

Homes for sale that are currently Pending along the Hood Canal and Puget Sound : 3-not a strong number but I suppose not bad considering the economy, the market and it being winter.

These are waterfront homes that currently have offers on them and are going through the closing process. 

• The average price for the pending waterfront homes for sale is : $484,333 with an
• Average dollar per square foot of $405.32
• Average days on the market : 194

Waterfront Homes for sale that sold from January 1, 2010 through March 25, 2010 = three (3); two along the North Shore and one on Case Inlet/Puget Sound.  

• Average price: $533,300
• Average Days on the market : 322 ( wow almost a year n the market;although the one on Case Inlet/Puget Sound definitely beat that number  at 104; it definitely pays to be priced right!
• Average dollars per square foot : $392.34
• Selling Price % to List Price : 88.94   (Representative of a buyers market and seller concessions).

That's it for now! We're looking forwardto keeping a steady pace of homes for sale along as spring moseys along at a hopefully steady clip.  Tis the season - to get ready for SUMMERTIME FUN!!There are some great homes for sale along the shores of Hood Canal and Puget Sound/Case Inlet!!

Previous months' market reports for the Hood Canal and Puget Sound/Case Inlet area.

LakeLand Village Homes for Sale and Sold~Market Report~How is LakeLand Village Fairing?

Wow. It's hard to believe we are already into March of 2010!  January and February WHERE did they go????

I have been extremely behind in posting market reports for LakeLand Village - due to business picking up and buyers out shopping. This is a good thing not just for me but for sellers and buyers alike! 

So what's been going on In LakeLand Village during the month of January and February? In anticipation of the First Time home buyers tax Credit being extended and expanded, it seemed that we started off a little slow as far as buyers making offers on homes.

The really interesting part was that the pending sales and sales reflect that the buyers are all shopping in a price range of well under $300,000.  Hmmm.... And if you think that is interesting, check out Richard Bell's Blog Report of "where they buyers are coming from." I think you will be quite surprised!

The inventory of homes for sale in LakeLand Village has picked up to 28 active homes for sale listed with Real Estate Agents. It is slightly above average as we move into our spring market. This is typically when we do see more homes come on the market for sale though.

• Average Price : $314,116
• Average $$'s per square foot : $163.48
• Average Days on the Market: 220

Out of the many homes for sale in LakeLand Villageover the last six months, there are currently (this is including pending proeprties through March 12 as well) 6 homes for sale pending (meaning they have mutually accepted offers on them between buyer and seller). The summary of these is:

• Average Price : $196,180
• Average $4's per square foot : $124.97 (a considerable drop since the end of the year market report) 
• Average Days on the Market: 290

January 2010 showed one home sold; February showed there were NO sold properties in LakeLand Village for the month of February- that was quite a shocker, but more than likely it was because of slow downs in the lending process -possibly due to the type of loan the buyer was trying to obtain.

Out of the six current pending homes for sale, 3 of those came under mutually accepted contract in February and the other 3 came under a mutually accepted contract the beginning of March.  March will more than likely see the majority of the LakeLand Village Pending homes for sale close this month.  Will keep you posted!

HAVE A SUPER DAY!  See ya next month!

Ohhh and pssssst...... don't forgot about the Tax Credit Extension and EXPANSION that nows allow current homeowners who are buying a new primary residence to acquire up to a $6500.00 tax credit as well!

Hood Canal & Puget Sound Waterfront Homes for Sale~How was the year in review?

2009 was a very tough year all around - the economy overall and the housing market in general, so what went on with Hood Canal & Puget Sound Waterfront Home Sales?  Surprisingly enough there were 23 homes sold along the shores of Hood Canal and Puget Sound in 2009.  I decided to take a look at 2009 and compare it to 2008, 2007 and 2006 to see how much of a difference there was in price, homes sold, and the time on the market. 

Waterfront homes as a general rule, tend to be more for recreational, part-time summer use, but there has been an increase in the number of waterfront homes that are lived in full time along the Shores of Hood Canal and Puget Sound. 

When reviewing Puget Sound Waterfront homes for sale, I am reviewing the statistics for my market area of Puget Sound which consists of Victor, Allyn, and Grapeview -all along the shores of Case Inlet & North Bay.  Shelton is also in my market area but there does tend to be a slight difference in marketing and values so I did not include that area in the statistics but will be reviewing it in another blog.

The statistics I am looking at regarding the homes for sale and sold on the Hood Canal are along theSouth Shore and North Shore of the Hood Canal in my market area which includes the towns of Belfair, Union and Tahuya in  Mason County. 

We carried quite a large inventory of waterfront homes for sale throughout the year of 2009. The end of the year we did see some come off the market which did lighten the inventory some.  We also saw an increase in the showings of waterfront homes for sale  above the $500,000 price range during the month of December and into the new year.  A lot of these buyers are also cash buyers-possibly taking advantage of the great homes for sale with great prices and values as opposed to placing their hard earned dollars elsewhere... 

So here's the wrap up:

2009 there were a total of 23 waterfront homes sold along the Hood Canal & Puget Sound in Mason County.

• (9) were sold along the South Shore of Hood Canal
• (5) were sold along the North Shore of Hood Canal
• (9) were sold along the shores of Puget Sound - North Bay and Case Inlet.
• The average sale price wasas $391,283
• The average market time was 235 days
• The average dollars per square foot was $338.63

2008 there were a total of 23 waterfront homes sold along the Hood Canal & Puget Sound in Mason County.

• (8) were sold along the South Shore of Hood Canal
• (6) were sold along the North Shore of Hood Canal
• (9) were sold along the shores of Puget Sound - North Bay and Case Inlet
• The average sale price was $604,158
• The average market time was 152 days
• The average dollars per square foot was $337.95.

It is interesting to see the difference in the market times and the fact that 2009 the buyers were focused on homes under $500,00 for the most part.  It is also interesting to see that the dollars per square foot for both these years stayed fairly consistent.

2007 there were a total of 27 waterfront homes sold along the Hood Canal & Puget Sound in North Mason County.

• (9) were sold along the South Shore of Hood Canal
• (5) were sold along the North Shore of Hood Canal
• (12) were sold along the shores of Puget Sound - North Bay and case Inlet.
• The average sale price was $584,815 (3 of the homes sold for over a million dollars)
• The average market time for these homes was 119 days
• The average dollars per square foot were $379.49 - roughly a 12% difference from 2008 and 2009.

One more year to take a look at - 2006 - I think it is safe to say that 2007 was the peak of the market but let's see how it compared to 2006.

2006 there were a total of 42 homes sold along the Hood Canal & Puget Sound in North Mason County.

• (12 ) were sold along the South Shore of Hood Canal
• (16) were sold along the North Shore of Hood Canal
• (14) were sold along the Puget Sound - Case Inlet and North Bay
• The average sale price was $$480,970 (the highest sale was one at $1.06 million. 
• The average market time for these homes was 129 days
• The average dollars per square foot was $330.34

Interesting..... the average dollars per square foot was higher in 2007, but there were more Hood Canal and Puget Sound Waterfront  homes sold in 2006.  Good numbers to take a look at.

So in a nutshell would you agree 2007 was the peak of the north Mason County waterfront home sales along the Hood Canal and Case Inlet/North Bay-Puget Sound as far as values go?  Overall the average dollars per square foot has stayed consistent as well as the number of sales for the last few years.  Even in 2008 and 2009 the average dollars per square foot was higher than in 2006. 

Got to say, that it is nice to see that the waterfront homes for sale have pretty much held their value!

I hope this information was helpful. If you would like more detailed information or a market specific report for your waterfront home, I would love to help you out with that.  Drop me a line, give me a call or stop on in!

LakeLand Village~Allyn~The "Now & Then Real Estate Market"

I am always curious about statistics and love to compare things to previous events or years.

• The average dollars per square foot for the LakeLand Village homes sold for 2008 was $156 - another big difference

2006 - There were 50 homes sold in LakeLand Village~Allyn~WA for the entire year of 2006. I think it is safe to say this is going to probably show as LakeLand Village's "Peak" market for real estate sales.

• The average sale price was $333,604 - quite an average with 50 homes that sold in comparison to the above 29 and 21.
• The average dollars per ssquare foot for the LakeLand Village Homes Sold for 2006 was $159.77 - slitghtly down but with 50 homes sold- that's a pretty solid number.
• The average days on the market was 153 days. Another difference reflecting LakeLand Villages' "peak" market.

LakeLand Village Homes for Sale and Sold~After Thanksgiving Sale?~Market Report~

I know, I know it is so hard to believe that we are already past Thanksgiving and moving swiftly towards Christmas!!  ~~SIGH~~  Time seems to go so fast this time of year! 

So what's been going on In LakeLand Village during the month of November? In anticipation of the First Time home buyers tax Credit Ending, it seemed that we started off to a slow start in November as far as buyers making offers on homes. It also seemed as though the buyers weren't out looking as much as they were in October.

The really interesting part was that the pending sales and sales reflect that the buyers are all shopping in a price range of well under $300,000.  Hmmm.... And if you think that is interesting, check out Richard Bell's Blog Report of "where they buyers are coming from." I think you will be quite surprised!

The inventory of homes for sale in LakeLand Village has dropped down to 23 active homes for sale listed with Real Estate Agents. It's about average for our normal fall/winter inventory based on the years past. 

• Average Price : $298,459
• Average $$'s per square foot : $144.16
• Average Days on the Market: 238

We have one contingent sale currently in LakeLand Village. This means that the buyer must sell their current home first in order to progress with transaction on the home in LakeLand Village.

Out of the many homes for sale in LakeLand Village over the last six months, there are currently 4 homes for sale pending (meaning they have mutually accepted offers on them between buyer and seller).

• Average Price : $234,675
• Average $4's per square foot : $146.57
• Average Days on the Market: 219 days

October had shown that there were NO sold properties in LakeLand Village - that was quite a shocker, but more than likely it was because of slow downs possibly due to the type of loan the buyer was trying to obtain.

November showed 3 closed sales and with the 4 pending sales in LakeLand Village, December should actually statistically be a good ending to a very, very unpredictable year in the housing market in LakeLand Village.

• Average Price : $263,000
• Average $$'s per square foot: $144.21
• Average days on the market: 87

Something interesting regarding the sold properties during the month of November is that the list price to sell price percentage is at 100% meaning the homes were sold at their list price....

I hope that everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving with family and friends! Our house was sure full of thanks. Even though it has been a tough year for all - we are very thankful for what we have and what we have done....

HAVE A SUPER DAY!  See ya next month!

Ohhh and pssssst...... don't forgot about the Tax Credit Extension and EXPANSION that nows allow current homeowners who are buying a new primary residence to acquire up to a $6500.00 tax credit as well!
