Just Sold-The Woods at Lake Wilderness

By
Just Sold-The Woods at Lake Wilderness

Past clients now call The Woods at Lake Wilderness “home” since their purchase just closed escrow today. The home, just 5 years old, was absolutely immaculate and had been maintained in almost perfect condition. One of the nice things about this neighborhood is the large central park, it’s proximity to shopping, schools and the Cedar River trail and in the case of this home, the fact that it back to the Lake Wilderness Arboretum. I had previously helped this family sell their home when they relocated out of state and was happy to work with them again when they returned to the Seattle area. Thank you to Glenn Leadbetter of JLS Mercer Island for a pleasant “cross sale” and to Merry Smith of Sammamish Escrow for yet another smooth, successful closing!

Update: This home has sold and has new owners! One of a kind piece of property where you can work AND play from home year ’round!

The floorplan consists of 2 BR on the main floor and Master Suite upstairs with a large loft. Master has a balcony overlooking front of the home. The home also has a daylight basement with unfinished storage area, temperature controlled wine cellar & in-home office with separate outside entry. The current owners have applied for and been granted a permit for a Sun-Room addition on the Eastside of the home. Sellers will pass this on to new buyers if they would like.

Maple Valley…By the Numbers

Maple Valley…By the Numbers

I love stats, which is a bit odd because Math wasn’t my favorite subject in school. When using statistics in analyzing and following real estate trends and market conditions, there will obviously be variables involved. For instance, I define the Maple Market as being comprised of the area falling within the Tahoma School District boundaries. Others may use the Maple Valley zip code, or stay within the City limits.  I like to see what statistics others are compiling and how they compare to my own.  The other day when I received a Neighborhood Profile of Maple Valley the other day from The Talon Group (A division of First American Title). Most likely these numbers were compiled using Metro Scan. There were some interesting categories which I don’t track so  I thought I’d share: Assessed Values: 40% of Homes in Maple Valley are assessed between 200,000 and 300,000 and the second highest group, at 29% were assessed between 300,000 an 400,000. Owner Occupancy: Approximately 81% of homes in the area are owner occupied. Age of Homes: A whopping 59% of homes in Maple Valley were built between 1990-present. The one area my numbers differer from The Talon Group’s source is in number of sales: 2006: Talon: 942  ME:
