About Redmond's Novelty Hill

One of Washington's loveliest and most wildly popular plats on either Union Hill or Novelty Hill has to be Westchester Heights on Novelty Hill, Redmond. There are approximately 90 homes here, most of which were built by William Buchan and John Buchan Homes in the early 1990's. Currently, homes here are selling between $700,000 and $1.0 million. Westchester Heights is only 4.4 miles to Redmond Town Center, and 6.6 miles to Microsoft campus. Homes on Novelty Hill currently are selling for a median price of $730,000.

This Westchester Buchan resale listing being held open this weekend (November 13-14) is expected to draw upwards of 600 people over the two days. Without the estate sale, I might be expected to draw as many as 40 people during a three hour open house. How does she do it, the estate sale lady and her team? Let's just say she has a good following, she knows how to hold a GREAT estate sale, the home is decorated and festive, and guess what--the homes she does this in usually sell coming out of the weekend!

The unique twist to this weekend's open house in Westchester Heights is that it is widely advertised by the wildly successful Estate Sale company that burst on the scene these last two years, none other than Kitten Creek Estate Sales, Inc. This relative newcomer to the trade knows how to bring in the people and beautifully stage a home for moving the merchandise! Her clients say the merchandise is clean, well organized, and reasonably priced. Amanda Galacia, the founder and operator, is a warm personality, becoming an extension of the family to her clients. Rumor has it that agents who have used her when they launch their new listings can come away with a sold home days after the event!

So far, my client has had nothing but great things to say about Amanda Galacia and her team. I am excited to be launching my relationship with her this weekend with my first estate sale and open house.
