A busy week in the Microsoft area for real estate.  Eight new listings are on the market this week, bringing the total of available homes back up to one of the higher numbers we’ve seen this year.  However, there was a lot of other activity with homes receiving offers, going pending, price reductions, and home sales closing.  There was a brisk amount of activity as things were happening in real estate around Microsoft.

This week’s closed sales:

$498,600 Tri-level in Gleneden with a list price of $498,888 on the market for 4 days sold $288 under full price.  ***The seller did everything right.  This was a well priced home with significant updating, granite, stainless steel, fresh paint and carpet.

$560,000 Gleneden two story with an asking price of $599,000 was on the market for 72 days, and sold for almost 7% below the original asking price.  ***A lot of square footage in this two story for the money with its 4 bedrooms, plus bonus room.

$645,000 Ardmore Village was originally listed at $665,000, sold in 46 days for almost 3.5% below the asking price.  ***Came on the market at less than what other homes in the neighborhood started selling for earlier in the year.

$610,000 Another Gleneden (is everybody moving in the neighborhood this year?) daylight rambler on the market for 363 days with an original list price of $699,900.   ***A unique home with 7 bedrooms and 5 baths, it appealed to a specific market, someone needing the large number of bedrooms and baths.
