I sold $156k interest (1/3 value) of my condominium to my partner and now Zillow shows this as a sold for price! How do I change this information as it was not a full sale price, only 1/3 interest?

Kirkland waterfront home sales, 2009

Sat, 16 May 2009 16:02:00 GMT

There have been two Lake Washington waterfront single family homes sold in Kirkland so far in 2009. Both sales came in over $3 million, with one home on Juanita Point and the other West of Market near downtown Kirkland.

There were also two waterfront Lake Washington condos sold. A one bedroom condo sold for under $300,000, an amazing deal for a downtown Kirkland waterfront condo with boat moorage, despite its lack of a lake view from the interior (East end unit). At the other end of the spectrum, a 2300 sq ft condo sold above its list price, at over $1 million.

It seems that in the current market, there are some deals to be had on waterfront properties, as well as some very unique homes that will sell for a premium despite the slow market.

Best condition in which to sell a house

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 04:05:00 GMT

Hi all, I'll be up front and tell everyone that I am a real estate agent. I've got a client that is about to put a house on market in the next few months and we're discussing how much work he should put into the home over the next month or 3 to get it ready. He's considering putting it on in "as is" condition but it's got a lot of cosmetic needs. I am putting together for him a comparison of price points in "as is", partial remake, and complete makeover price points.

My question here is this: what condition of home do you prefer to buy? Cosmetic fixer? Move-in but needs some updates? Or, it's in perfect condition with no changes needed?

Thanks!

I just discovered a great day spa in Kirkland at Amy's Skin Care. Amy is a sole proprietor who provides great service and I like that fact the her in-home day spa is a private, personal experience.

The facial was a delightfully relaxing experience that matched any I have enjoyed in the high priced hotel spas. Amy also offers reasonably-priced micro-dermabrasion series and peels. You can check out all of her services and pricing on her web site at AmySkinCare.com. My skin is sensitive to many chemicals, and I found out about Amy when searching for organic skin care products. Amy is a professional clinical esthetician licensed by the State of Washington and an expert regarding handcrafted Eminence Organic Skin Care products from Hungary. She provides free product consultations by phone at 206-999-6336 and free shipping.

Amy has also recently added Bionic-Hydrotherapy -- a non-invasive ionic footbath that gently detoxifies the body. While perhaps unusual for a day spa, this exemplifies Amy's holistic approach to wellness and skin care.

Norkirk Neighborhood

Wed, 11 Jul 2007 15:40:00 GMT

Norkirk is often referred to as "East of Market". The City of Kirkland website has some great info and links, and our neighborhood is always defined by the City as Norkirk and by real estate agents as East of Market.

I guess you could call West of Market and East of Market rival neighborhoods in a lot of ways. One of the main benefits of living East of Market, for me, is that I rarely have to enter and exit via Market Street, which can get very congested at certain times of day. West of Market has more trouble avoiding Market as an exit route. From East of Market I can bypass all traffic simply by going up to 3rd or 6th Street and making a left out toward 85h. I rarely run into heavy traffic.

The high points off 1st Street where I live, also have fabulous views. So you can get the benefit of views and less time stuck in traffic. A great combination.

It's really quiet where I live. Close enough to walk downtown but far enough away to be a quiet residential neighborhood all at the same time.

The busiest streets over here are 7th Ave, 3rd Street and 6th Street because of lights and stop signs that direct the flow of traffic. 6th Street being likely the heaviest traffic due to the natural turn coming from the freeway at the First Mutual Bank corner at 6th and 85th/Central.

Of note: The freeway exit, 85th and Central and Market are pretty much the same street as Central makes a complete right turn at the end of Downtown when it hits the lake and turns into Market Street.

Kirkland Downtown is known for its Art Galleries, but there's plenty of "ordinary folk" around here.
