Silverdale Home – Best Buy Pick

This week’s Best Buy Home for Sale is in Silverdale, WA. After skipping over Silverdale several times because I could not identify home that I considered a best buy, this home with a view of the Hood Canal and Olympic Mountains came on the market. This Silverdale view home has 3 bedroom, 3.25 bath, 3502 square feet and is situated on .97 acres. The home is located at 7505 NW Mountain Vista Lane, in the Sunset Farms development. The home is priced at $480,000 and is a short sale, meaning the price is more than what is owed to the bank by the seller. The home is assessed at $612,090 and was purchased by the current seller in 2002 for $410,000 – I guess he must have re-financed which is why it’s a short sale. This Silverdale home is a daylight rambler, with the main floor having 2340 square feet and the daylight basement with 936 square feet. The views of the Hood Canal and the Olympic Mountains are western exposure which makes for beautiful evening sunsets. Some other of this home’s features include a large kitchen, Corian counters, cherry cabinets, white oak hardwood floors, pellet stove, 2 fireplaces, butler’s pantry and wet bar, large deck to enjoy the view, home theatre, wine cellar, vaulted ceilings, skylights, security system, master suite with it’s own balcony, jetted tub, three car garage and an aluminum roof. Although the Corian counters may make this home seem a bit dated, remember that 15 years ago Corian was top of the line material for counter-tops, much like slab granite is now. For this price however, spending another $5,000-$8,000 to for slab-granite countertops would be well worth it and bring the kitchen up to contemporary styling. As is pretty self-evident, this home comes packed with many nice features. The home was originally built in 1978 with an effective year built as 1985, which means construction was started in 1978, but was not completed until 1985. What earns this Silverdale home a Best Buy Home for Sale rating is its price value for view property in Silverdale, its ample acreage and many nice features. I’m pretty familiar with view property in Silverdale because I have one listed myself at $599,000. Although I feel my listing is well priced for what it offers, this Silverdale view home is a steal at $480,000.

Port Orchard Best Buy Home of the Week

This week’s Best Buy Home for Sale is in the Manchester community of Port Orchard, WA. Actually, this week’s best buy as well as last week’s best buy was supposed to be in Silverdale, WA, however I was not able to identify real estate in Silverdale which I feel is a screaming good deal. I try to rotate the best buy selection between Gig Harbor, Key Peninsula, Port Orchard, Bremeton and Silverdale (along with the price range), but I decided not to pick a home in Silverdale just for the sake of having a Silverdale home in the mix if it was not warranted. Last week’s best buy home was in Gig Harbor and this week’s best buy home is in Port Orchard, located at 2544 Alaska Avenue E, Port Orchard, WA 98366, which is actually in the community of Manchester. This Manchester home has 3 bedrooms, 2.75 baths, 3,382 square feet and was built in 1998. The home is situated on .19 acres and has fantastic views of Mount Rainier, the Puget Sound, Seattle, Blake and Vashon Islands. This home was first listed last July at $479,900, was later reduced to $439,000 and reduced again last month to its current list price of $385,000. The home’s assessed value is $464,230. Some of this home’s features include hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, a large great room, central air, gas fireplace, jetted tub in the master bath, and plenty of deck to enjoy the view on during the summer. What earns this Port Orchard home a Best Buy Home of the Week rating is its price value for waterview property in Manchester.
