Just Sold in Valley Meadows!

This beautiful Curtis Lang resale in Valley Meadows now has a new owner! I represented the buyers in their purchase. Although there is a good selection of inventory in the area, this home is unique with many custom “top of the line” features. I hope the new owners have many years of happy memories ahead in this home!

This is an interesting look back over the past 3 1/2 years at homes sold in the Maple Valley market area. We were certainly spoiled with low market times which have more than doubled in the last year over a 44 day average in 2005.

"I was bitten by the "house-hunting bug" at a young age when I would go through the Sunday papers with my parents, looking for open houses. My father was an NFL football coach and we had moved several times throughout my childhood before finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. I have come to view the house hunting and the moving process as an adventure, and although it can sometimes be stressful and inconvenient, I love the process as much today as I did back then!"
