The Sun Still Shines on this Listing

Many mice made it to Fremont to click on a proud and radiantly red home. The sellers and the listing agent have put some effort into making this home ready to sell and it shows: fresh paint, new roof, a clean and tidy interior, clear photography, and good copy for the marketing text. Now for someone to take the bait. It’s listed at $449,000 and has 3 bedrooms, 1.75 bathrooms, and 1,700 square feet. Someone will bite, even in this slowing market.

Seattle weather just took a turn for the grayer; luckily, this property was shot during sunnier weather. Soon all Seattle listings will take that cool, overcast tone. At least the lawns will look greener. Anyone who has even an inkling of selling their homes later in the year should take an exterior photo of their home during the summer months, when the weather is more reliable.

This house is just three blocks away from B.F. Day Elementary School, founded in 1892 and the longest continually operating school in the Seattle school district. Fremont’s median list price is $505,000. Properties here are averaging 43 days on the market and slowly climbing.
