Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood has had some beautiful sunny days in the last weeks and West Queen Anne is particularly gorgeous perched over the Puget Sound.  This picture was taken the day after Thanksgiving for anyone who doubts we get sun in the winter at all.

Here is your West Queen Anne real estate update for the December 2009 home selling market. You can find West Queen Anne real homes for sale and other Queen Anne real estate on my site if you want to see all current listings, but here are the numbers for tonight:

Conclusion:  West Queen Anne is selling!  But how do these numbers stack up to previous years of sales in 98119 for the same period?

2006 Total Volume: $75,463,950 Avg/Med Price: $804,451/$699,950 Avg DOM: 35

2007 Total Volume $62,104,075  Avg/Med Price: $874,705/$700,000 Avg DOM: 35

2008 Total Volume $34,368,800  Avg/Med Price: $781,109/$636,000 Avg DOM: 73

2009 Total Volume $68,854,945  Avg/Med Price: $800,639/$645,000 Avg DOM: 72

The sales volume itself is the best it has been in over three years! It doubled last year for the same period and then some!  Prices have definitely gone down and days on market are longer, but a well priced house will sell and there are buyers out there buying West Queen Anne.  In fact, inventory in this Seattle neighborhood is actually one of the problems while working with buyers in this area so if you are thinking of selling, please do consider getting an evaluation!

(I took out the Queen Anne townhomes for this property list, but you can find Queen Anne townhouses andQueen Anne condos on the site, too, if that is what you are after.)  Please also feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions at all about Seattle real estate.
