📊 Leavenworth Market Update – The Market Is Still Moving!

If you’ve been wondering whether buyers are still active in Leavenworth… the numbers say YES.

📈 Closed sales are up 27.3% compared to April of last year
📈 Pending sales are up 17.3%
📈 Average home prices are up 11.1% year-to-date
📉 Inventory and housing supply continue to shrink

What does that mean for you?
✔️ Sellers are still seeing strong demand
✔️ Buyers need a strategy and preparation
✔️ Waiting “for the market to crash” may cost more than expected

The Leavenworth market continues to show resilience and steady appreciation, even as many buyers thought things would slow down. Whether you’re considering buying, selling, investing, or just trying to understand your options, having a local expert matters.

I’m always happy to have a no-pressure conversation about what these numbers mean for YOUR situation.

It was the beginning of Build Week for Janel Aleman Rambo and Campbell Custom Homes. It's always exciting to walk a job site and talk with the owner and the trades and see it all come together. More to follow as this custom home progresses.

If you're looking for Land or thinking about making a move I'm a call away and always looking for new clients.

The past few weeks have brought a noticeable uptick in buyer calls, and honestly, that’s always a great sign for the local market. Increased buyer activity usually means confidence is returning and opportunities are opening up.

Many of these conversations start the same way:
“Laura, where do I even begin?”

If you’re thinking about starting your home search, here’s the simple (but critical) checklist:

First, talk with a real estate agent. This isn’t about pressure — it’s about clarity. A quick conversation helps define goals, timelines, and strategy.

Second, connect with a lender and get preapproved. This step is far more important than most buyers realize. A preapproval isn’t just paperwork — it defines your true budget, strengthens your offers, and prevents disappointment later.

Knowing your numbers and having an agent formally representing you are two of the most important foundations of a successful home search. Everything else builds from there.

If you’re curious about the process, financing, or just want to understand what’s happening in today’s market, I’m always happy to talk.

If you’ve been renting for a while, you might be wondering what it would look like to put that monthly payment toward something of your own. Homeownership can mean more stability, more freedom to personalize your space, and the chance to build equity over time. It’s not about rushing — it’s about knowing your options and deciding when the timing feels right for you. 💕 Sometimes the best love story starts with a place to call your own.
