Sales volume for single-family homes in Madrona and Leschi is down from a year ago, with 26 (11 in Leschi and 15 in Madrona) sales in June and July of this year, compared to 35 sales during the same months in 2014. Prices, however, have increased, as the average sales price in June and July 2015 was $1,031,639, compared to an average of $896,045 a year ago. Of the 26 total sales, 21 sold for at or above the listing price, with the highest sales-to-list-price ratio at 112.34 percent for a Craftsman in Leschi. The lowest-priced sale was $523,000, and the highest sales price inched close to $2 million at $1,910,000 for a waterfront home in Leschi. Nine homes sold for $1,000,000 or more.
Four condos sold in the area in June at a wide range of prices, from $325,000 at the low end for a one-bedroom unit at a landmark building in Leschi; to $1,695,000 for a two-bedroom on the Leschi waterfront. Only two condos sold in July, at an average price of $590,500.
Madrona and Leschi typically do not see a high volume of sales, so with their small sample sizes, average prices tend to paint very broad picture of the neighborhoods’ housing markets, as one or two high- or low-priced sales can skew the average. Currently, there are 18 active single-family listings between the two neighborhoods, with prices ranging from $490,000 to $2,795,000; and there is one active condo listing for $209,900.
These statistics were gathered from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, but were not complied or published by that organization.
