So what was the most expensive home in the Lake Washington School District? What was the least expensive?

While reading through the NWMLS 2006 statistical recap I found the sales ranges in the Lake Washington School District for 2006. Here is what the report said:

Median price: $569,950
Average sales price: $668,508
Lowest sale price: $164,500—Except, this is wrong!
Highest sale price: $6,175,000

I found the mistake when I looked up the listings for these homes. The $164,950 “home” was actually a condo in Kingsgate! So the stat for the least expensive home in the LKW schools is incorrect. The listing agent had erroneously listed the property as a single family home, which it is not.

I looked up the real truth about the least expensive home in the Lake Washington Schools and after wading through a list that covered manufactured homes and homes out in the Riverview District, I found it. The least expensive home was located on Union Hill and sold for $240,000. Built in 1941, it’s a two bedroom, one bath home on a 9000 square foot lot. (I need to let the NWMLS know about the mistake.)

Now the most expensive home, which sold for $6,175,000, is located right in downtown Kirkland. I happened to preview this home when it was listed and it really was something special. It had been designed to be a home and an office space at the same time. The finishes were fabulous in this home.

This research has gotten me thinking and I now want to know more about the least expensive and the most expensive 2006 home sales in West Redmond. Where were these homes and what were the sales prices? I will put this information in one of my next blogs.
