Have you wanted to make a change and move into a home that has that special something that you don't have now?  Maybe you need more bedrooms for a growing family, more space for a hobby, your own home office, a bigger yard for your pet, a place to garden, maybe you need more light and less trees, more privacy for your BBQs, you want a different style of home, or perhaps you need a mother-in-law suite for a family member who is moving in with you soon.  Think of all the possibilities.

The timing couldn't be better-there are plenty of move-up homes to select from right now, prices have rolled back to what they were in 2006, interest rates are at historic lows and now there is a credit for move-up buyers who enter into a contract to purchase homes priced $800,000 or less by April 30, 2010.

Here is a link for more information on the New and Expanded Credits for Home Buyers.

In fact, this could be the perfect time for you to make a move.            

Call me if you want to explore your options!

Wow - A Gregerson Custom home in the 1984 Street of Dreams Neighborhood - Brookside Country Club!

This is a home where you can really spread out with 4 bedrooms and a den on one end of the home and a bonus room on the other.  You will love the open feel of the lot with a large side yard and views even larger since this community doesn't allow perimeter fences.  (Feels like a golf course without the price).

Are you curious about the road work on Avondale? 

The committee for A Better Avondale has been hard at work over the last year meeting with DOT and county executives to get the road improved and the county to address the road noise (read more @ www.ABetterAvondale.org). 

So what are they doing?

King County Department of Transportation has begun the work on a test patch between NE 144th and NE 151st St.  They are currently working on the northbound lane (causing a temporary shut down of the lane) and will begin work on the southbound lane approximately next Wednesday.  The work on each lane involves removing damaged panels, digging down about one foot, adding new foundation material (gravel), compacting the gravel, then testing for proper compaction, before doing a "hot pour" to re-pave where needed.  They are using "hot pour" because it cures faster and the road can be re-opened as soon as possible.  After the panel repair, the road will be grinded using the Next Generation Grinding technique. 

The grinded surface is expected to be smoother, quieter and safer.  Noise measurements will be taken and analyzed after the project.  At that time, decisions will be made about how to repair (re-surface) the remaining sections of old Avondale road.  The feasibility of grinding vs. resurfacing with Asphalt Rubber will be studied. 

By the way, for those curious, there was a delay in starting the project because of other road closures in the area (which could impact Avondale traffic) and the beginning of school. 

 

Here are the rates on the first day of the quarter for the last 30 years and then the first day of the month for the last 13 months.  Sometimes you need to see the change to know how good we have it.
