It is really hard to believe that we are approaching the end of 2013, but my calendar says that we truly are.  So it seems like a good time to go ahead and look at what the sales at Jubilee have been like for the year thus far.   I know from showing homes in Jubilee that the sales have been pretty brisk - often at least one home that a buyer thought they might like to see has already gone pending by the time we are heading out to look at homes.  And in fact, that impression is borne out by the statistics.  So far, since the first of the year, our NWMLS shows 39 homes in Jubilee have sold at prices ranging all the way from $206,500 to $449,900.  This includes both new construction homes and resale ones.  The median sales price for this group of sales is $284,530.  This reflects that many...

  The real estate market at Jubilee has been pretty brisk this year, with houses selling fairly quickly and many buyers waiting eagerly for new listings to appear on the market. Currently I found 10 homes listed for sale in our NWMLS, and they include 4 brand new homes and 6 resales.  Pricing on listed homes starts at $197,900 currently for a resale home that has approximately 1277 square feet and 2 bedrooms, 1.75 baths.  The high end for list price is $ 435,000 for a large home - 1928 square feet. The median asking price currently is $383,700 which reflects the number of larger homes on the market, commanding a much higher price.  Since the majority of the smaller homes have two bedrooms, the larger homes do appeal to those buyers who would really prefer to have a den in addition to th...

  The Jubilee neighborhood in Lacey, WA is one of my favorite places to show homes, and it offers a number of benefits to make it a great choice for active 55+ buyers. Here are my top ten reasons why you might LOVE living at Jubilee: 10. There are a variety of floor plans and sizes of homes, all with open living spaces and one level convenience. 9. Perfect for snow bird folks or frequent travelers - the monthly homeowner's fee includes front yard maintenance (even the irrigation in front for watering) and backyards typically include minimal, if any lawn (though plenty of room to barbecue, relax on patio or deck, and putter with the amount of gardening you choose to have). 8. A multitude of outdoor activities available - enjoy a brisk or leisurely walk, hop on your bicycle, play a few g...

  Jubilee in Lacey offers a lot to folks looking for a low maintenance lifestyle with loads of activities close at hand.  And those benefits have kept homes in Jubilee selling at a brisk pace this year. Currently our NWMLS shows that over the last six months, there have been 23 home sales, including both resale homes built in the mid 2000's and also new construction homes being built this year.  Of the sales over that six month period, 5 homes were new construction, and the others were all resale homes.  This is a pretty dramatic change from a year or two ago when many resale homes took a year or more to sell! The lowest sales price showing is $210,000 for a 1439 square foot home built in 2004.  The highest sales price was $449,900 for a 2357 square foot home built in 2005.  The median ...
