About Lynnwood's Alderwood Manor

Lynnwood real estate & first time home buyer credit: As we come screeching into the finish line for buying a home that will help qualify you for the first time home buyer credit, Lynnwood real estate has been hopping.

Lynnwood home buyers who want to be able to close in time for the 11/30 closing deadline should plan on closing a couple weeks ahead at the very least to account for any potential delays. Underwriters and appraisers are backed up and processing of loans is taking longer.

We are highly recommending that our Lynnwood home buyer clients get something under contract in the next week or two if they want to try and close in time for the first time homebuyer credit deadline. Contracts are taking at least 30 days with delays and under staffing.

Here are some details, but make sure to check out their site, too. Ther eis still time today to go check it out or plan the day for tomorrow. Beautiful stuff!

Sat & Sun 11Am - 5PM (Today and tomorrow!!!)

Pay at the door - $5 for adults and 12 and under are $2. They are asking for no strollers so babysitter or baby backpack might be better for this one.

Look for demos and prizes and lots and lots of beads!

Doors closed for good...

I have only really been in the gym and the parking lot of Lynnwood high school as a parent of a visiting team member during sports, but it still seems sad to me that the old school will be torn down forever. The gym and bleachers especially were horrendous, but there was still a sense of history that is hard to recapture and install in new buildings.

The new school over on North Rd is coming along and looking amazing - I guess it should since it is costing almost $100 million according to reports! What a facility! I know it will be exciting for all the students to start their journeys in this state of the art school! The very cool part is how green the building is going to be!

Plans for the old location? Cypress Equities from Texas entered in to an agreement with the Edmonds School District as far back as 2006 I think to lease the land for 99 years for a reported $140 million. The plan was to put in mixed use retail and even a hotel. That latest, though is not looking good as the developer is rethinking their plan for the site. I don't know how these things are "agreed to", but hopefully there was something equivalent to earnest money in residential transactions that was significant in case of default...
