Dear Friends,
This is a test for those of you who live on the South Hill or in the Valley. Quick: if you had to buy a home on the north side, no farther out than Francis, where would it be?
How many of you said, "Audubon Park?"
I thought so. All of you.
You both get an A.
But it is true: of all the places on the north side, Audubon park has a special cache. If you are a valley or South Hill person, Audubon park is generally the one place on the north side you can see yourself living. It is an area that feels comfortable just to look at. The homes are cute and generally well kept. And with downtown just a few minutes away and Downriver Golf Course and state park just a few minutes the other way, the location could hardly be more convenient.
The reason I had you take this little test is because I have a listing in the Audubon Park area. It is actually 1 1/2 blocks from the park itself and it is loaded with charm.
This house is so adorable, I'd even consider living here.
Note the breakfast nook. How cute is that?
It has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, with a new, detached one car garage. It is new because a branch came down and totalled the last one. Fenced yard, newer roof,
The house has two fireplaces, hardwood floors, an updated kitchen, a cozy little breakfast nook, a family room in the basement along with a storage room, either of which might be turned into another bedroom.
If I were a decorator I'd call it adorable.
Since I'm a real estate agent, I'll call it a great buy.
I'll also call it open on Sunday, 7/20 from 1:00 to 4:00
The address is 3111 West Glass. $204,900

One final note: This house has drawn a higher than normal interest from people looking for others - parents looking for kids that are moving back to Spokane - that sort of thing. I think it is because it just feels so homey. So, it's okay with me if you send your mother.
See you Sunday.

What the heck are we doing here?
With over 5 years of real estate experience this is what I know: everybody has an abiding interest in how their largest single investment - their house - is doing. Is it going up in value? Down? Is this a good time to sell? Buy? Hang tough? Refinance? Remodel? And what did my neighbor's house sell for really? Really?!
Yep. That much. Really.
But like any market, the housing market is fluid. It changes all the time. What is true today may not be true next week. What you want to know about may be different next month from right now.
In other words, it's perfect for a blog. Think of this as a snapshot of a small part of the Spokane real estate market. And I'm the guy holding the camera. If I think it's interesting and I think you might think it's interesting, I'll blog about it.
Want to know what's been going on lately? Come by and take a look at some of my snapshots. Even share a few comments of your own.
Because the other thing I've learned is that when it comes to real estate and home ownership, we are all in this together.
