leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Leavenworth Needs More Condos - 01/06/10 11:02 AM
My partner Allyson’s reaction to our success selling condos in 2009 might flabbergast some local real estate agents. “We need more condo projects!”
“But Geordie, doesn’t Leavenworth currently have YEARS of supply of unsold condos?” you gasp.
Indeed it does, but there is room for new condos in our market.

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Condo Auction in Leavenworth - 12/16/08 07:01 PM
Bad decisions by developers in Leavenworth have led us to our first auction. It wasn't a foreclosure, but there were some bargain basement prices.
Here are what the local sources said.
The Wenatchee World (yes that's me in the hat - the Jack Abramoff looking character):
NCW Real Estate Blog
The Leavenworth Real Estate Blog (That's my main blog)
It would be nice if that was our last auction, but I don't suppose it will be. Developers have overbuilt the condo market and aren't smart enough to list their products at market pricing.

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Leavenworth Insurance - 10 Questions Interview - 05/26/07 12:09 PM
Over on my other Leavenworth real estate blog I have posted my latest interview. Here are some excerpts from my interview of Eric Kossian of Leavenworth Insurance.
1. What does an insurance broker do?
Geordie, an insurance broker locates and shops insurance products to protect clients from the financial risk of loss due to such things as fires (property), accidents (liability), death and unsecured retirement investments and income. While most agents think in terms of selling product that is incorrect; we are in the business of asset protection. Some examples of personal assets could be an owned home, cars, income- your ability to … (0 comments)

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Leavenworth Condos - The last 25 years - 05/20/07 08:13 PM
Leavenworth Condos
With all the great new condo projects going up in Leavenworth a casual observer might think that condominiums are just now starting to be built in our Bavarian hamlet.
Aspen Suites at Icicle Village Resorts
In fact we have had new condos built on a fairly recently basis for the past 25 years, with a major project every 3-4 years. If buying a new condo in Leavenworth isn't for you, you might see if there are resale units available in any of these condominium projects.
In 1983 it was the 17th Fairway Condominiums which took advantage of their location on the … (9 comments)

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Leavenworth Condos - Market Update - 05/15/07 10:16 AM
Leavenworth Condo Update - Considering all the new construction that is going on in the Leavenworth condo market and the increasing prices, I thought I would see how they compared to other regional prices. Ben over at Seattle Condos and Lofts did a short update on the condo market in Seattle. Ben reports that April brought sales of 304 condos in the Seattle area with a median price of $320,000 and an average price of $367,700.
First of all, our market is tiny compared to the number of condos in the rainy metropolis to the West. We actually had ZERO condo sales … (2 comments)

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Kahler Glen Athletic Club - 05/04/07 01:53 PM
Buying a condo at Kahler Glen or building a new home on the golf course? Many buyers ask me if membership to the Kahler Glen Athletic Club is included with their association fees.
This members only facility has separate memberships that have been limited in number. Recently there have only been 93 memberships and new home owners wishing to join had to buy an existing membership from someone who was moving or not using their membership. Later this year the Kahler Glen Athletic Club plans to sell additional new memberships. These memberships will sell for $8500 plus a monthly fee … (3 comments)

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Leavenworth Wa Condo Market - 5 Things to Consider - 04/29/07 11:41 AM
Buying a condo in Leavenworth this year? Here are 5 things to consider:
Do you want to use your condo as a vacation rental? In the city limits and the Urban Growth Boundary of Leavenworth this means the condo needs to be zoned for commercial use. Condominiums in residential areas may be rented on a monthly basis, but not nightly or weekly. Condominiums at Granite Court, along Whitman and Prospect Streets, and up Titus Road all fit into the category of non-commercial condos. Without looking at a zoning map, you can safely assume that any condo located North of Highway 2 in … (7 comments)

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: The Vacation Home that Pays for Itself - 01/29/07 07:09 PM
I stumbled upon this article about financing vacation homes on MSN. There are a couple important points that seem to be a matter of debate - manager or no manager? I guess it really depends on which is more important to you - profit or workload. This is a personality question for sure and each investor has to make that decision for themselves. I think the rest of the article touches on things I have mentioned here before and on my other blog. … (0 comments)

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Kahler Glen Condos- Do you own one? - 01/23/07 07:46 PM
If so, we should talk about the value of your home. It wasn't very long ago that there were 5 or 6 condos at Kahler Glen for sale, all around $160,000. Slowly, they finally sold. The next house came on at $180,000. I had some clients who made an offer, but weren't willing to pay that outrageous price. It sold, and so did the next one at $209,000 in the Fall of 2005. A year later, the only listing in the area sold at $275,000. The demand is still out there. How do I know? Kahler Glen and Kahler Glen Condos … (2 comments)

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Wenatchee to Leavenworth: What a difference 30 miles makes. - 01/10/07 03:02 PM
Perusing real estate websites we see mention of realtors who serve every community in Douglas and Chelan county. They fill their website with key words and promise they are the local experts. Buyer (and seller) beware.Before hiring an agent to represent you make sure they have the experience to give you the best advice. I work in the rural areas of Leavenworth, Lake Wenatchee and Fish Lake. I don't work in Waterville or Rock Island. These names are more common on Realtors websites than they are on their resumes. Ask an agent you are interviewing how many homes they have sold … (0 comments)

leavenworth condos kahler glen aspen suites river park: Leavenworth Real Estate: What's Hot? - 10/27/06 06:46 PM
"How's the market doing in Leavenworth?" my friends from Seattle always ask. It depends is often the answer.Condos remain a hot ticket. More specifically condominiums zoned Commercial (to allow for overnight rentals) under $250,000. We are seeing a number of new condo projects, but the prices start much higher. Generally for condos we have just a month or two of supply and a high number of pendings to active listings.Manufactured homes remain slow. Most of these sales are for older homes with little value that sit on a nice peice of land. With 10 active homes on the market, we have … (1 comments)

The newest t-shirt from Plain Hardware says it all. "Where the *!@# is Plain?" Plain, Washington is located in the Beaver Valley near Lake Wenatchee and Leavenworth. It's a small place.
