I've noticed that even the houses in our neighborhood (also Issaquah off May Valley) that need a LOT of work have been going super fast, which hasn't been the case until a few months ago. There was one updated house that was a killer deal - went SO fast.

And NYC? Holy moly. It's good for perspective, to hear that DH's family pays $23,000/year in property taxes alone on a similar size house, much smaller lot and much lower quality infrastructure and schools than here. Makes me smile when people on here start whining about our taxes and traffic.

You are right. The smaller one a few doors down sold in just a week and a day. I don't know what they ended up getting, just saw the sold sign on it last night.

Wow it spent an eternity on the market. Our house was on it for 3 days. Out of 6 comps used for our appraisal, the longest Time on Market was 5 days. And that's not even Sammamish.
