TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TAX CREDIT BEFORE IT EXPIRES!

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TAX CREDIT BEFORE IT EXPIRES!

THERE ARE GREAT MERCER ISLAND HOMES FOR YOU!!!

 

If you are planning to take advantage of the tax credit, call/text/email me to start looking at homes now before it expires on April 30th – that’s the date by which one must have a binding contract signed by all parties, and the home purchase must be completed by June 30th.  Remember that the tax credit has been expanded so that it is not just for first time buyers.  There are many great homes on Mercer Island that qualify (homes priced at $800,000 or less).  Remember just a few years ago when that statement would not have been possible?  We are actually seeing some amazing Mercer Island homes that are assessed over $1,000,000 selling for $800,000 or less . 

Now that Spring is on the way, and the flowers are in bloom, it’s a great time for house hunting.  “Daylight Savings Time” starts this Sunday, March 14th, remember to set your clocks ahead!  Please contact me to show you around the Island.  I pride myself on the personalized service I provide in finding you the ideal home for your family and your unique lifestyle. 

Yesterday, I had occasion to marvel at how fortunate we are to live on our great Island, when a charming group of women got together for lunch (“Salad & Socializing”) through our wonderful Mercer Island Women’s Club.  For those of you who don’t yet live on Mercer Island, it’s a great way to meet new friends as soon as you move here.

As always, I look forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Natalie

IT HAS BEEN 60 YEARS SINCE MERCER ISLAND WAS INCORPORATED AND THERE WILL BE “BIG DOINGS” AT SUMMER CELEBRATION THIS YEAR TO CELEBRATE THE OCCASION! STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS…

Our Island is ablaze with the beauty of “Spring” flowers everywhere, and buyers are now coming out to witness and buy our amazing homes at similarly amazing prices.  I was pleased to discover–when doing a market analysis for an Island family to whom I had sold their great home 18 years ago—that six comparable Island homes had gone pending within the last month (around the million dollar price range).  This is certainly encouraging news.

And speaking of the joy of living on our great Island, we are proud of the way we all pitch in to help keep our Island so beautiful.  Below, you will find links to the list of volunteer opportunities to enhance the beauty of our many wonderful parks (The Mercer Island Parks & Rec. Forest Stewardship Opportunities).  If you are an Islander, please consider helping with this worthwhile project while enjoying fresh air, sunshine, and the enjoyable company of friends and neighbors: www.earthcorps.org or www.mtsgreenway.org or contact Bruce Fletcher, Parks & Recreation Director, City of Mercer Island at 206-275-7870.

Please come visit me at my open house this coming Sunday, March 7th at the exciting home at 7635 SE 72nd Place on Mercer Island from 1:00 – 4:00.  This superb home with all the “bells & whistles”, in its ideal location, is listed at the amazing price of $830,000.  I’ll look forward to meeting/seeing you, and I’ll give you the royal tour.  It’s easy to find–just west of Islander Middle School.  Just follow my signs to this great home.  Hope to see you there!

Best regards,

Natalie
