28488 238th Ave SE, Maple Valley, Washington, USA – MLS# – 853791

Congratulations to my amazing clients, the Callahans!

After exceptional  preparation and with powerful negotiating skills, we succeeded in winning the bid for their dream home! The transaction closed on time and was a great success for both the buyer and the seller. Everyone was happy, including the selling agent who gave me such a nice compliment.

“I wanted to express my sincere appreciation of your professionalism during our recent transaction. I so enjoyed you being available to the phone when needed, and your upbeat and timely transaction updates plus your efficiency with your paperwork. I always felt we were representing our clients well and facilitating a level of cooperation during the transaction necessary for all. I hope to get the pleasure of working together again soon!”
Pam McCain, Managing Broker, John L. Scott, Covington, Wa.

This may be the most fun I have had working with a family! Taking my clients on home tours, has always been one of my favorite things to do. We all had so much fun, even the kids got involved in understanding home values and picking just the right fit! This family was a good time. 

When we met at their new home to deliver the keys, my clients surprised me with a dozen beautiful roses, a glorious desert treat, lots of hugs and so many thank you’s. That is the best part of my job. Smiling, happy clients. 

If these are the results you would like to see in your next property purchase or sale, then give me call. My only goal is to ensure my clients have exceptional results, in an effortless fashion and have a smile on their face when it is all said and done.

That is what I provide. Call me. 

The time to sell is right now. The time to buy is right now. Do not miss this hot market.

OCTOBER 2015
COMPLIMENTS OF JOHN TENORE

Dear Friends, Clients and Colleagues:

As the leaves are turning color and the weather is getting slightly more chilly we are pleased to present to you our Third Quarter 2015 newsletter. In this issue we include links to the latest news we find interesting including market statistics from the 3rd quarter, a fun article comparing Brooklyn and Manhattan, a preview of a contemporary art auction overseas and a link to a new restaurant that we have enjoyed. We also highlight 2 destinations – Santa Fe, New Mexico and Bar Harbor, Maine where the quality of life is very different from our urban living here in the city. This quarter we are offering three current listings for sale – an artist’s loft in SoHo, a beautifully appointed and well located home on Lower Fifth Avenue, and a duplex walk-up 2 bedroom with lovely garden views in the West Village. So please have a look when you have a moment. All the best to you this fall. Happy Halloween!

Regards,
The Norrgard – Tenore Team

Brooklyn Real Estate to Manhattan: ‘What’s Good?’ 

For as long as there have been rivalries, Manhattan has often been presented as the place where people would rather live, and the other boroughs honorable mentions that will do nearly as nicely. That dynamic is shifting. After a spate of new real estate market reports, Brooklyn can now definitively say: “What’s good, Manhattan?” The median price of a Brooklyn apartment is now at an all-time high of $676,250 – up 15.1 percent from the year before. 


Sotheby’s Auction | Southeast Asian Abstraction 

Coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Sotheby’s Singapore, as well as the 50th anniversary of Singapore’s independence as a country, Southeast Asian Abstraction: A New Dialoguecelebrates the very essence of abstract form within a localized context. This exhibition highlights Southeast Asian abstract art from the 1960s to the 21st century. The artworks created may be seen as a marriage influenced by old world concepts paired together with a fresh vocabulary.

New York Real Estate | On the Market

Beautifully restored and renovated Greenwich Village classic located in the historic 24 Fifth Avenue. Sun-drenched and south facing 1-bedroom apartment.  

 

327 West 11th Street, Apt 3R | $1,950,000

Located in the heart of the historic West Village on West 11th Street between Greenwich and Washington Streets is this sophisticated 2-bedroom, 2-bath duplex home. 

 


Where We’re Eating | Upland Restaurant

Built around a culinary philosophy that takes heavy cues from the seasons, Upland balances a familiar rusticity with a smart global approach and a New Yorker’s eye for detail. The wine program matches the excitement coming out of Upland’s open kitchen, with a wordily 500-bottle list and a clever by-the-glass selection that’s remarkably food-friendly. We love Upland not only because of the innovative/seasonal selections, but also because the interiors were designed by a LaChance + Team favorite, Roman and Williams. On a side note, the name and theme is inspired by Upland, California, hometown of our very own Michael Hahn who is quickly making waves at Compass and in the New York market.

Seattle’s tech boom boosts luxury housing | A great article by HousingWire

Seattle’s tech boom boosts luxury housing

Homes priced above $1.5M surging

The technology boom is moving its way up the Pacific Coast, bringing a new surge in demand in housing for luxury homes listed at $1.5 million or more, an article in The Wall Street Journal said.

Real-estate agents say Seattle, the longtime home of software giant Microsoft and online-retailing behemoth Amazon, is attracting more technology firms because it offers a combination of local talent and lower housing prices than the tech centers of California. 

The article explained that while the overall market is staying stable, luxury real estate prices downtown are growing.

For homes priced above $1.5 million, the average price a square foot was $494 in May, up 10% from the previous May. In 2013, Seattle’s population swelled to 652,405, up from 608,662 in 2010, according to census data.

This isn’t the only thing going on in Seattle housing. Real estate in the city could be on the verge of a seismic shift, thanks to a plan that’s working its way through the city’s governmental process.

According to a report from The Seattle Times, Seattle is considering a plan to do away with single-family zoning within the city and replace it with “lower density residential.”

Per the Seattle Times report, Seattle’s single-family zoning is a “defining feature of Seattle’s strong neighborhood feel,” and has been for more than 100 years.

The Marketplace Third Quarter Report: Check out how real estate adds up in your area.

Hi,

I thought you’d be interested in seeing our third-quarter analysis of the real estate performance of select cities of King County and Snohomish County. Click above to view!

Recently we’ve seen double-digit drops in inventory and double-digit increases in sales, an unsustainable long-term pattern. This is a great time for sellers because available homes remain scarce with only 1.4 months of inventory in King County and 1.9 in Snohomish! It’s also a great time for buyers because 30-year fixed interest rates are currently below 4%, though they are expected to increase up to 50% over the next few years.

We are expecting a housing slowdown in 2016 and 2017.  Contact me to discuss your real estate goals, or for a customized analysis on your area of interest.

I hope you’re well.

The best part of my job is making the phone call to deliver the wonderful news!

Strong housing demand, rising home prices and healthy economic conditions pointing to future demand are some of the factors that landed Seattle at No. 1 on a list of the hottest single-family housing markets in the U.S. this fall.
That’s according to a new report released Tuesday from online real estate company Auction.com.

Auction.com ranked 50 U.S. housing markets, taking into account home pricing, sales, permit activity, economic growth and population growth.
The Pacific Northwest and Florida dominated the top spots!
