Leavenworth, WA

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..

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.
