Real Estate Insights for Edmonds: October 11, 2016

I try to spend time daily researching current market trends. Looking at Edmonds, I was stuck by one detail regarding pricepoints on sold listings in September. Look below:

Do you see the crazy spike at the $1,000,0000 price?

In particular the way that $850k and above are quite uniform except for the $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 range. It’s really interesting, and very Edmonds, I think.

All those view homes off of 9th, the condos in the Bowl, and up at Point Edwards and you’ll see the roots of this.

So, take a look at all the listings in Edmonds here.

Well, it’s the weekend…what’cha you gonna do?

So, one of my favorite Saturday things is finished for 2016, the Edmonds Summer Market. However, there’s still plenty of stuff to do.

Hardly an all inclusive list, but it’s main focus is to get you out of the house on this predictably drippy weekend.

Community Radio

I’m a community radio junkie.

One of my favorites growing up with KNHC, aka C89 FM. They’ve won several awards, including Best Dance Station. To me, that’s a huge deal since this local, student run (high-school students at that) community station beat out major national players.

Almost daily I listen to KEXP. John in the Morning has long been a staple of my days. And I’ve been listening the station, like, forever. Like back when it was KCMU.

Another that gets a fair amount of my ear-time: KNKX (formly KPLU). My favorite for news and my beloved jazz.

KING FM, Seattle’s classical station (personally, I prefer “symphonic/orchestral” as “classical” refers to a specific time period, and “classical” music {as it’s termed now} encompasses Baroque, Romantic, Modern…you get the idea…anyway, that’s me being a music snob, and, well, I digress) is another favorite. I was delighted when, years ago, they shifted to a community radio format.  And I still am delighted at the change.

A few additional “honorable mentions”:

So, I think I need this t-shirt!


So, that’s it for now. I’m sure I’ll add more later. Is there any I missed? Let me know in the comments below.

Seattle’s Vlogger Fair | November 12 & 13

I’m playing with taking my aspiring vlogger son to these events, but not sure about the price tag. Though not horribly expensive, I need to be thoughtful of my investments in time and money.

So, any of you going? Who’s been the past ones? Are they worth the investment in time and energy? Should my son and I go to one, or the other…or both?

Let me know in the comments.

 

Today’s Meditation

​I agree with Frank Herbert

Fear is the mind killer

The destroyer of dreams 

Robbing joy and all goodness

Consuming love and passion

Let the fear pass over 

Then flow through 

Looking back at its path 

I will only see

Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Coming Sept. 24

I’m pretty excited about the upcoming Season 3 of Star Wars Rebels. Well crafted and nicely executed, I really enjoy the show. So, I hopped online to learn when I’ll be able to buy the series on iTunes. Most of my Google search, though, reminded me of Disney’s PR snafu last year.

As a long-time cord-cutter, I bought each season on iTunes. Last season’s dividing the season into two payment opportunities annoyed me greatly. Not as much as some people (like these folks), and not enough that I said “screw it”. I paid the dough. But I wonder how often this money grabbing technique will be tolerated. I don’t know how I feel, personally.

Anyway, I’m not sure when season three will be on iTunes, but will be watching closely.

These characters have amazing potential, and I’m really excited to see what the creators have crafted. It’ll be a great couple of months.
