Ballard Art Walk in March 2007


As part of the Ballard Art Walk, I’ll be hosting artist Akiko Kino in March. Akiko is a long-time resident of Tokyo, who has lived in the States for nearly three years. Her use of a knife instead of a brush to apply paint gives her paintings texture and dimension that you’ll want to see in person to truly appreciate. I expect this to be a great show so please stop by. To preview Akiko’s work go to http://www.andrewlparker.com/artwalk-Kino.htm.

March's art walk is on Saturday the 10th and runs from 6 to 9 PM. The address of my office is 1718 NW 56th Street, Seattle, WA 98107, and as always wine and hors d’oeuvre will be served.

Homes Sold in zip codes 98119, 98199, 98107, 98117, and 98103 January 2007

In January 134 homes sold in Seattle zip codes 98119, 98199, 98107, 98117, and 98103. Of those 53 sold within the first 30 days and received 99.46% of the listing price, 34 sold between 31 and 60 days and received 98.36% of the listing price, 28 sold between 61 and 90 days and received 98.15% of the listing price, 10 sold between 91 and 120 days and received 97.65% of listing price, and 9 sold 120+ and received 93.74% of listing price.

January of 2006 had a similar number of homes sold but the price sold to price listed has slipped slightly. I advise Sellers to be careful when deciding a listing price. As it clearly shows above homes that are not priced right take longer to sell and may sell for less.

Appreciation is looking good for the greater Queen Anne, Magnolia, Ballard, Greenlake area. The average home appreciated 12% and the median home appreciated 7% for the month of January year-to-date.
