About Allyn's Lakeland Village

Snow in the Northwest

Dinah Loves the Northwest Snow

There is magic to be found in the still of the night

When the Sapphire sky lends its breath

and the stars above blink to life

Bathed in mystic and charmed by the moon

a new world awakes.

Like crystals they shimmer reflecting the glory of the stars

beneath a shall of icy jewels

the earth is renewed both near and far

A secret society found yet always known

only in evening's garden

What brilliant breath has blessed this world

That forgives the dull in hopes of new

A white flag of peace unfurled

the hopes of dreams on gossamer wings

Surrendering to new possibilities

LakeLand Village Homes for Sale and Sold~After Thanksgiving Sale?~Market Report~

Happy Thanksgiving from LakeLand Village

I know, I know it is so hard to believe that we are already past Thanksgiving and moving swiftly towards Christmas!! ~~SIGH~~ Time seems to go so fast this time of year!

So what's been going on In LakeLand Village during the month of November? In anticipation of the First Time home buyers tax Credit Ending, it seemed that we started off to a slow start in November as far as buyers making offers on homes. It also seemed as though the buyers weren't out looking as much as they were in October.

The really interesting part was that the pending sales and sales reflect that the buyers are all shopping in a price range of well under $300,000. Hmmm.... And if you think that is interesting, check out Richard Bell's Blog Report of "where they buyers are coming from." I think you will be quite surprised!

The inventory of homes for sale in LakeLand Village has dropped down to 23 active homes for sale listed with Real Estate Agents. It's about average for our normal fall/winter inventory based on the years past.

  • Average Price : $298,459
  • Average $$'s per square foot : $144.16
  • Average Days on the Market: 238

We have one contingent sale currently in LakeLand Village. This means that the buyer must sell their current home first in order to progress with transaction on the home in LakeLand Village.

Out of the many homes for sale in LakeLand Village over the last six months, there are currently 4 homes for sale pending (meaning they have mutually accepted offers on them between buyer and seller).

  • Average Price : $234,675
  • Average $4's per square foot : $146.57
  • Average Days on the Market: 219 days

October had shown that there were NO sold properties in LakeLand Village - that was quite a shocker, but more than likely it was because of slow downs possibly due to the type of loan the buyer was trying to obtain.

November showed 3 closed sales and with the 4 pending sales in LakeLand Village, December should actually statistically be a good ending to a very, very unpredictable year in the housing market in LakeLand Village.

  • Average Price : $263,000
  • Average $$'s per square foot: $144.21
  • Average days on the market: 87

Something interesting regarding the sold properties during the month of November is that the list price to sell price percentage is at 100% meaning the homes were sold at their list price....

I hope that everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving with family and friends! Our house was sure full of thanks. Even though it has been a tough year for all - we are very thankful for what we have and what we have done....

HAVE A SUPER DAY! See ya next month!

Ohhh and pssssst...... don't forgot about the Tax Credit Extension and EXPANSION that nows allow current homeowners who are buying a new primary residence to acquire up to a $6500.00 tax credit as well!

The Commerce Department says sales rose 6.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 430,000 from an upwardly revised 405,000 in September. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a pace of 410,000.

Home shoppers in October were acting before lawmakers decided to extend a tax credit for first-time buyers and expand it to existing homeowners. Nevertheless, sales were up 5.1 percent from a year ago, the first yearly increase since November 2005.

This is great news, and will continue to help the coming 1st quarter!

Stay positive the best is yet to come!
