Higher Priced Home Sellers May Need An Extra Dose of Patience..
August 13th, 2008Some thoughts from Colleen Fischessers blog:
Home Sellers with properties priced at or above $700,000 may need to come to terms with the fact it may many many months (even a year or more) to sell their high-end property. I’m basing this on current NWMLS statistics for Single Family homes in the Maple Valley/Covington area.
Currently there are 74 active listings on the market which have an offered price of $700k or more.

I got the chance to visit my friend’s nursery in Elma. What a gorgeous array of hanging baskets and potted flowers. Oh what fun I had…..picking out all of the different flowers to add some color to my garden. If you feel like going for a drive and getting your garden started, I suggest visiting the “Green Thum Nursery”, it is a little over an hour away south of Tacoma off of exit 101. The prices are great and you won’t be dissappointed. I have always related May 1st to flowers because as a child we would place fresh picked flowers in a basket, go to the neighbor’s front door, ring the bell and run. They would open the door to a bit of cheer! Too bad this tradition has never stuck over the years. It is those simple things in life that create memories!
Elk Run Golf Course
August 13th, 2008 
Early in my mortgage career I was lucky enough to work in the Kent office of John L Scott Real Estate. The office is still there on Kent Kangley Road. It took a while for the office agents to trust me. The first was Beth Johnson who tried me out on a loan for a home on Elk Run Golf Course.
I recently came across a P I Article about Elk Run on the P I Sports Den blog: Take a peek at this clip:
A Hacker’s Review: Elk Run Golf Course
This is the first in a series of course reviews for the blog.
A little background information: I am a terrible golfer; I have been playing for over fifteen years and according to the Yahoo’s handicap-tracker, I am a 32.5. That means on a Par 71 course, my average score is a 103.5. Yikes.
As terrible as I am, it’s my favorite thing to do - - besides hanging out with my wife, of course.
On Saturday, I made the trek out to Maple Valley for a round at Elk Run golf course.
As I arrived, I was half-expecting to see the club house at Bandon Dunes (the famous PGA course located in Bandon, OR). If you don’t live in the south sound, it’s not exactly a close drive
I have decided on the following categories to review:……………….
