Ballard Townhomes: Market Update Is Shocking Whether You Are A Buyer Or Seller

Ballard townhomes for sale:  If you have a Ballard Townhome, then right now is your chance to step into the market….if you aren’t upside down (If you are, then we can have a different conversations), but it is interesting to note that right now truly is a great time to sell your Ballard townhome.

There are currently only 6 Townhomes in Ballard on the market.  Yes.  The land of townhomes for sale in hip Ballard and there are only SIX available.  

These Ballard townhomes range in price from $335,000 to $449,000 with a median price of $376,250 and average days on market of 28 days (most have been on for less than a week).  The average square footage is 1575 and the average dollar per square foot is $247.85.

Ballard Townhouse Pendings:  Further testament to the ripeness of this market is the fact that 12 Ballard townhomes are pending with an average days on market of 18 days (again, most were on for about a week!!!) .  The price range on these ranges from $268,000 to $569,950 with a median of $378,725 (not far off from the median of the ones above). Average dollar per square foot on these that are in escrow is $241.26.  In addition to pendings, there are 3 that are pending inspection and 1 that is a pending short sale Ballard townhouse.

So I will say this again:  There are only SIX Ballard townhomes for sale.  If you want one, call me so I can get you in to see them.  If you are thinking about selling, please give me a call and I can help you assess your options.  Even if you think the value is not there, it might be.

Annual Empty Bowls Event At Nordic Heritage Museum

Annual Empty Bowls Event At Nordic Heritage Museum

The invisible elves have been working hard all year once again pull this ambitious event off .  It’s already been 12 months since the last one and countless volunteers have been busy, throwing, hand building, firing, glazing and turning so people can join together in a day of merriment to help those less fortunate. Those of us who have attended this great day in the past, know this is not an unselfish act to attend Empty Bowls.  We pay our 15 bucks and in return get more entertainment than the average movie. We get a great unique bowl, some delicious soup provided by Ballard Market, bread and a great time. We meet our neighbors, listen to music and watch great entertainment and know that most of our donation will go to a local cause, The Ballard Food Bank.

March 18, 2012

This year's bowls won't disappoint

 

So this Sunday, make some time to for your local community to support this heartfelt event. You won’t be sorry. You’ll leave with a warm heart and a warm belly and most likely a new friend.

If you like this neighborhood. Let me know, kim@cooperjacobs.com.

Ballard Zero Energy Home By Two Innovative First Time Homebuyers

Did you get a chance to read about the cool house in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood that not only produces enough energy to have zero costs, but also produces more energy than it uses!  As a tribute to Robert Downey Jr. , I am calling it the Less Than Zero house, but obviously green building has nothing to do with the excess of the 1980′s.   Anyway, I stray.  Here is a screen shot from Eric Thomas and Alexandra Salmon’s blog on their innovative Ballard green home.

seattle green real estate

What is the most impressive thing about this story to me is that this creative couple was able to get a brand new Ballard home for just under $400k when all was said and done plus it is a green home.  Who says green real estate has to be expensive?  Do your homework like these two did and you will be surprised!

Ballard’s Best Kept Secret: Salmon Bay Park

Ballard’s Best Kept Secret: Salmon Bay Park

On a bench in the best park in the world is the inscription “its good to be seen”

Sometimes that is all you need and to be seen here is one of life’s true little pleasures.

Reportedly, designed by the same park architect who designed New Youk’s Central Park,  Ballard’s Salmon Bay Park is one block of rolling hillocks and full of trees smack dab in the exact center of Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood an otherwise treeless flat area in Northwest Seattle. Being from the Midwest, I was drawn to this little Ballard park from the beginning.
Salmon Bay Park on a windy sunny day is absolute heaven. The breeze through the overreaching ancient evergreen trees against and emerald blue sky and the sounds of children at play and all kinds of other urban park activity keep this little park constantly active and vibrant. My dog and I have spent many a day here seeing and being seen while Ballard grows around us.
Our home is in between Salmon Bay park and Loyal Heights playground to the North and in between two excellent elementary school districts Whittier Elementary and Loyal Heights.

Salmon Bay was originally named by pioneers William Bell and the Denny brothers. At that time, the bay area was inhabited by the Shilshole Indians. Salmon Bay Park itself was named after a former tidal flat, which is now part of the Washington Ship Canal. The Park was deeded to the City in 1890, and annexed to the rest of the city along with Ballard in 1907.
