Six New Pending Sales!
Here’s what’s currently pending or Pending Inspection. These are homes which have reached mutual terms between a buyer and a seller but have not yet recorded with the county. There are six:
| Model | Original Asking Price | Current Asking Price | Days on Market |
| Angeles (Pending Inspection) | $395,000 | $395,000 | 11 |
| Orchard | $445,000 | $445,000 | 7 |

| Redford | $1,025,000 | $950,000 | 105 |
*Homes in bold; the Elephant’s Work of representing either the Seller, Buyer or both.
We’ve been saying it for months and these pending sales, once again, represent how quickly the lower price range homes find buyers due to pent up demand in this price range. Notice who’s representing the sellers of the highest price ranged homes. In tough times, it doesn’t hurt to have an Elephant on your side. They’re known for breaking down large trees.

Final Tidbits
- Thinking of Selling? Please, allow us to save you numerous phone calls and possible embarrassment throughout the neighborhood, by sharing this advice: “Don’t tell anyone outside of your most trusted friends. Rumors and the grape vine spread faster than influenza and everyone knows a pesky “Realtor.” Your secret just may save you money.
- According to Northwest Multiple Listing Service data, the facts reveal the Elephant was the top Trilogy listing broker in 2013 and 2014 and the overall top broker in 2014. Thank you, it continues to be an honor! (NWMLS records are available upon request.)
We Love Feedback
We do love feedback and thank you for giving so much of it last month. Frankly, we were blown away and humbled to know how many are reading the results of our labor. Most of the feedback was regarding our sharing of our members’ feelings regarding the lawsuit. We’re happy to report that it was entirely positive with the exception of one individual. I have a large “positive feedback” file and a stick thin “negative feedback” file. It seems our members’ feelings are well appreciated. The word is out that the plaintiffs’ attorneys have reached an agreement with Shea Homes and that is great news for all. Congratulations are in order. It’s time to get back to living the dream.
Once again, your emails are very welcome. Those of you who wrote know this because I answered all but one. I will not respond to any kind of prejudice. Moving on, if you have anything you’d like us to address, by all means, drop us a line! Of course we are not perfect so mentoring is very welcome, as well. We love growth in any facet. Thank you, in advance.
That’s a wrap for December and 2014. We wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous year.
