There are 13 Open Houses on the Fall Home Tour of 2008. Saturday and Sunday Oct 11 & 12th 1-5 pm. One you won’t want to miss is Bentley House, a luxurious condominium. Do you want Concierge service, a gated community, a 3600 sq ft health/exercise club, his and her steam rooms, a business center, guest suites, a roof top terrace, air conditioning, a view of Lake Sammamish? That is just the amenities. Still under construction, but don’t let that deter you. The model is spacious and beautiful. Each unit at Bentley House has 2 underground parking stalls. The Bentley House is open 11am- 6pm Sat and Sun, a little longer than the tour hours.
Bentley House is at 2700 NW Pine Cone Drive off of Newport Way in Issaquah 98027 (You can even walk to the Cougar Mountain Zoo)!
The Seattle Times and The Issaquah Press both have a supplement with all the information on the Fall Home Tour. The tour is self guided.

Why are people still moving to Issaquah? Real Estate is still selling fairly well.
Hopefully some of these young ones will join us here. I have a special reason to want these kids to move in the area, they are some of our grandchildren.
The answer I would say is a combination of things. Prices are holding there own, the location is convenient to all parts of the county, the city is very proactive, there are a lot of things to get involved in. I invite you to study this blog, we have over 450 reasons to live in Issaquah that we have written about.

Issaquah is like other local markets, many of our agents are dropping out of the business. Actually our MLS lost 1/4th of their membership this last period. The good news for you if you are buying or listing a home is that you will most likely be dealing with the more professional and experienced real estate agent.
Young folk like this will be likely to enter real estate. Perhaps he will be focused on our great city. Many who study the economy, trends, etc. are writing there will be a real estate boom in 2010 to 2012. Oh happy day I would say.

Matt Thomson writes an interesting article on Gig Harbor Undressed, asking does size matter?
Here is a clip: Our society seems to be obsessed with BIG. Cars are getting BIGGER. Take out meals are getting BIGGER. Prices are getting BIGGER. And in Gig Harbor, houses seem to be getting BIGGER.

Here it is the weekend of the 4th of July and some agents just have to work. All work and no play does what they say? Oh well, take advantage of it. Visit the 5 we have posted on the open houses map. If the agent didn’t post it in the MLS we of course didn’t get notice. Also note, this week there are only homes shown, no condominiums.Click here for the information map.

We have eagerly awaited the opening of the our new Keller Williams office. One of the great things about Keller Willams is the training they provide their realtors and while we work mainly in the Issaquah/Bellevue area it will be much better access for us from our home office. It is located at 13131 NE 85th St, Kirkland, WA 98033
Keller Williams Realty is the 4th largest and fastest growing residential real estate company in the U S. It was the only major company to increase it’s agent count in 2007. The Keller Williams model fosters a synergistic environment where both parties succeed through teamwork, by encouraging agents and brokers to share their best practices with each other and reward associates who help the company to grow. It is these industry-changing philosophies that have fueled the recent growth of Keller Williams Realty past older, more established companies to claim a top-four spot in the real estate industry.
