The Leavenworth Real Estate Blog, myleavenworth.com has a number of recent articles that are really worth checking out.
I wrote updates for Leavenworth market stats for both houses in Leavenworth (single family homes) and for Leavenworth condos.
I also posted part 1 of a two part series by home inspector, John Griffith of Cascade Site Services. John's article talks about 5 common issues Leavenworth home buyers might typically find while doing a home inspection.
Look for part 2 coming soon..
Luxury Homes in Leavenworth WA range from log cabins on the Wenatchee River or Lake Wenatchee to large horse properties with 5000 square foot homes.
In 2007 there were 34 homes listed for sale in the Leavenworth Real Estate market above $700,000.
As of April 2008, 10 of these homes have sold while another 2 are currently under contract. The sales prices in the past year have ranged from $725,000 to $950,000. In 2007, no Leavenworth home was able to sell for more than $1 Million.
The average luxury home in Leavenworth and Lake Wenatchee was about 2600 square feet and located on the water. 4 homes in this price range were on Lake Wenatchee or Fish Lake and another 3 were on a river - the Wenatchee River, Icicle Creek or the Chiwawa River.
As of April 4 2008, there are 16 luxury homes on the market in Leavenworth. 8 of these homes are listed for more than $1 million and 7 of the homes are located on waterfront parcels. (Though only one is lakefront.)
Here are two links to some gorgeous luxury homes in the Leavenworth area.

Blue Roof is the most recent host of the real estate blog carnival.
I submitted a recent article about Leavenworth condo development that had been in my head for a while and was lucky enough to have it included.
Blue Roof writes:
Geordie Romer of Leavenworth Washington Real Estate Blog presents his "Top 5 Ways to Shoot Your Leavenworth Condo Project in the Foot." He actually goes the extra mile and gives six, including "Don't dismiss the internet as a fad." Good advice.
Thanks for the plug and thanks to everyone who participated.

Geordie Romer is a real estate agent with Windermere Real Estate in Leavenworth Washington. I specialize in vacation homes and second homes in Leavenworth, Lake Wenatchee, Plain, and Cashmere.
I am a Washington native, raised in Olympia and currently a resident of Cashmere. I am a graduate of Middlebury College in Vermont where I earned a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Political Science. Prior to real estate I spent nearly a decade in law enforcement as a park ranger in our National Parks. 
I am one of only a handful of real estate agents in the Wenatchee Valley to earn their e-PRO designation from the National Association of Realtors. As an e-PRO I have received the most up to date training on how to use the internet, e-mail, and other high tech tools to maximize my real estate business. With 77% of consumers using the internet to help them research real estate, it makes sense to use an agent who understands how best to use these tools.
In 2007 I was awarded the Certified Residential Specialist designation by the Council of Residential Specialists. Less than 4% of all Realtors earn this coveted designation which requires extensive real estate experience and advanced training. Only a dozen Realtors in Chelan and Douglas counties hold the CRS designation.
My goal is to be the best advocate for my clients and to find creative solutions to their problems. In 2007, I saved my buyers an average of $9000 and sold my listings for nearly 99% of their list price.
In 2006 my peers named me to the Board of Directors for the North Central Washington Association of REALTORS where I served as the Director for Governmental Affairs for Chelan County. I also have served on the MLS committee and have coordinated the REALTOR food drive in Leavenworth.
