Duvall, WA Flashflood

November 5th, 2012, a flashflood from a broken beaver damn engulfed this home near my home in Duvall. As I went to the home with my shovel to help, I was working hand and hand with neighbors, teacher, farmers, blue collar and white collar volunteers. Everyone had come to together to help a member of our community. I am so proud of Duvall and how the citizens of our community responded in a true time of need.

Bellevue Washington Has A Strong Week in Pending Sales, Presented by John Fiala

This chart looks at the active listings and pending sales for the date from 10/15/12 to 10/21/12. The pending sales (under contract) are for the previous seven days.  This shows where the market is hot and who can have an advantage in the market by location and price point, essentially where the fish are biting in real estate.

If you have “Bellevue” in your address, your area had the highest percentage of homes go under contract for the week at 17%. Normally that title goes to North Seattle. Notice in Bellevue the price range from $250,000 to $349,999. There were five homes in each price range at the start of the week and by the end of the week, four of them were under contract with only one still Active. If you are a seller in that price range, the fish are biting. Buyers, you have competition in that price range in Bellevue.
