Lynnwood Real Estate Pre-Holiday Market & First Time Home Buyer Credit

Need a Lynnwood Realtor? — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:47:33 -0500

Lynnwood real estate & first time home buyer credit: As we come screeching into the finish line for buying a home that will help qualify you for the first time home buyer credit, Lynnwood real estate has been hopping.

Lynnwood home buyers who want to be able to close in time for the 11/30 closing deadline should plan on closing a couple weeks ahead at the very least to account for any potential delays. Underwriters and appraisers are backed up and processing of loans is taking longer.

We are highly recommending that our Lynnwood home buyer clients get something under contract in the next week or two if they want to try and close in time for the first time homebuyer credit deadline. Contracts are taking at least 30 days with delays and under staffing.

Lynnwood Power Out Yesterday: No Lights!

Need a Lynnwood Realtor? — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 09:04:40 -0500

Lynnwood power out for a couple hours - some remain in the dark..

Power went out to many Brier and Lynnwood homes yesterday around 3:40 when according to the Snohomish PUD, a semi hit an electrical pole. After two hours of being in the dark in Brier, I called and was told that they would have the power back on within the hour for all those except the twenty or so homes that are directly surrounding the pole. These lucky winners get to have their power out for about 48 hours because it takes a while to replace a pole apparently.

The pole in question was neer Larch and 215th and driving around was not easy with all the lights down as well. The PUD worked hard to get most of us back in the light, but based on my two hour experience yesterday, my heart goes out to the houses who remain in the dark. If you know anyone in that area, please check on them and offer some help!

Seattle Suburbs - Best Suburbs in the Immediate North

Need a Lynnwood Realtor? — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:27:45 -0500

North Seattle Suburbs include Lake Forest Park, Shoreline (including Richmond Beach), Kenmore, Brier, Mukilteo , Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Mill Creek, Lynnwood, Woodway (including new construction Woodway Highlands and the older Olmsted Woodway) and South Everett (including Silver Lake).

Lake Forest Park and Shoreline are the closest to Seattle and both boast natural scenes like trees and water views. From Richmond Beach in Shoreline, sweeping Sound Views and salty air are abundant. Lake Forest Park offers a ton of trees and Lake Washington views. The Seattle suburb of Kenmore is just north of Lake Forest Park and has its own seaplane airport! Just north of Richmond Beach is the tiny town of Woodway - It has amazing houses, but has opted out of the public library system so if library is important to you, then maybe go with Edmonds. Edmonds sits on top of the Puget Sound and is a wonderful Seattle Suburb with a ton of shops and wonderful restaurants. Just north of that is Mukilteo which also has a ton of Waterfront. Mountlake Terrace offers a huge range of housing - the schools are good and the parks are big - plus there is easy commuting access to downtown Seattle, Everett, or the Eastside! Brier Real Estate is good and this city also offers easy commuting to all of these areas! Brier has a nice range of housing and is known for its larger lots and also horse properties. Lynnwood has a nice downtown and also the Alderwood Mall. It also has a mixture of housing options from apartments to larger new construction.

Mill Creek is a developed city on a golf course. The neighborhoods are nice and neat and the area is ever expanding as more and more people decide to move into Mill Creek. South Everett touches Mill Creek and more and more Seattle suburb buyers are deciding that South Everett is a more affordable option in some cases - plus the new construction is extremely attractive and especially so when mixed with a fairly smooth commute option to Seattle. Look at prices and search for homes in these Seattle suburbs.

First Steps When Buying a Home

Need a Lynnwood Realtor? — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 00:50:29 -0500

Lynnwood WA First time home buyers:

Really nice post for first time homebuyers! This is a great article that easily applies to Lynnwood real estate, too!

Via Alex Anderson (GreatMinnesotaRealEstate.com):

Buying a home is a long-term investment. You'll probably live in a home for some time so you have to make sure that you really want the home you will purchase. It is best to be clear about what you want in a home before you start your search. While most real estate agents can guide you in your search, the decision to purchase a home, and its implications, wholly rest unto you.

Many first time home buyers feel overwhelmed and frustrated by the homebuying process simply because there are too many decisions to make. How do you decide on the best location? What if the home isn't in the best move-in condition? Can you afford to be so far away from work? Making sure you've asked yourself the right questions and creating a 'wishlist' for your ideal home will make the home buying process much easier, and also help you get over many of the challenges involved in finding that perfect home. Start creating your wishlist with the following essential questions and considerations in mind:

1. What are the essential amenities you're looking for? Think about fireplaces, swimming pools and kitchen appliances that you want to have in your new home. Prioritize these so you can simply say 'no' to a prospective home if it doesn't meet the basic amenities criteria. Be as specific as possible with this section so you can narrow down the hundreds of options available.

2. Be very particular about your location. Ilyce Glink, author of '100 Questions Every First Time Homebuyers Should ask' explains that location is one of the most critical issues when buying a home. You need to decide where to live in relation to your work, your family and friends, your kid's school, commercial areas, and places of worship. Your location determines your travel time each day. Ask yourself if the travel time is worth your home and location.

3. What is the ideal size? Do you need more than three bedrooms? Is your family growing? If you are going to need more space in the near future, you may need to buy a home with more space than you currently use. Project your home needs for at least the next three to five years so you select the right size.

4. Are you willing to invest in renovating or refurbishing the home? If the house is not in move-in condition, how much are you willing to spend on modifications, renovations and other maintenance costs? Setting some guidelines in this area can help you eliminate certain homes from your radar as you search.

5. Do you worry about security and safety? You might prioritize safety and security if you are living alone or with your children. Determine the things that you will need in order to feel secure in your home and neighborhood. Cross-out houses that do not meet your criteria.

Remember to put in some effort in clarifying your home preferences and goals in life. This exercise can simplify the home buying process and will help you feel comfortable with your purchase in the long-run.

Lynnwood High Closed For Good, but plans up in air for old Location?

Need a Lynnwood Realtor? — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 15:17:01 -0500

Doors closed for good...

I have only really been in the gym and the parking lot of Lynnwood high school as a parent of a visiting team member during sports, but it still seems sad to me that the old school will be torn down forever. The gym and bleachers especially were horrendous, but there was still a sense of history that is hard to recapture and install in new buildings.

The new school over on North Rd is coming along and looking amazing - I guess it should since it is costing almost $100 million according to reports! What a facility! I know it will be exciting for all the students to start their journeys in this state of the art school! The very cool part is how green the building is going to be!

Plans for the old location? Cypress Equities from Texas entered in to an agreement with the Edmonds School District as far back as 2006 I think to lease the land for 99 years for a reported $140 million. The plan was to put in mixed use retail and even a hotel. That latest, though is not looking good as the developer is rethinking their plan for the site. I don't know how these things are "agreed to", but hopefully there was something equivalent to earnest money in residential transactions that was significant in case of default...
