To my friends, loved ones, and clients,

Spring has sprung! Soon enough, the flowers will begin to bloom and sunny days will be the norm. Our market continues to move at record pace with homes under contract in a matter of days. If you're curious about how this may affect your goals in the future, I'd be happy to chat and offer helpful insight.

In this month’s IT List, I share my most recent listing, a statement-making home in Broadmoor, an exclusive report offered by Sotheby's International Realty, and my recent publication in the Madison Park Times. As always, you are the heart of my business and I'm constantly grateful to be your expert in the field.

Cheers!

2017 Parkside Drive East

Under Contract in One Day | Offered at $6,400,000

5 Beds | 4,75 Baths | 5,600 Sq. Ft.

*Record in Broadmoor for Highest Price per Square Foot*

Nothing stokes the smoldering embers of my desire quite like a home that is beautifully designed and perfectly executed—yet, also one that lives casually, with a flow that begs for parties, summer BBQs and traditional Sunday night dinners. This trophy property is sited on the sunny ninth fairway with a private patio at the front that is flooded with morning sunshine and multiple back patios accessed through double French doors, a covered BBQ station (for drizzle protection), room for a pool, a treehouse, and a firepit for your marshmallow roasts.

This charming Elizabeth Ayer cottage has always made my heart skip a beat…and now, I have sold it again—off-market!

I could not be happier for the lucky buyers—they are thrilled, and so am I!

"Laura Halliday deserves the glowing accolades she earns. I would rate her skills in each category 10 stars if I could. Laura sold my Denny-Blaine home within a week for the asking price to the perfect buyers. She responds quickly, remains positive throughout the process, and provides actionable feedback. Laura is the best real estate representative with whom I have ever worked, by a massive margin. Invaluable to the sale of my home Laura understands the product she represents and how to maximize its potential. My modern-style home had been heavily remodeled with quality finishes and high-tech features. Laura was quick to internalize those characteristics, identify the appropriate buyer population, and package the home in a way that created urgency in the marketplace. Laura is confidence-inspiring. Her guidance and input were on point, and her representation is effective and smooth. Finally, if the above were not enough, Laura is naturally delightful, funny, and refreshingly sincere."

Pending with Three Offers

Behold the Modern Tudor... It's like your average, traditional home that took a junior year abroad in Paris and came home with a chic, short haircut and a certain knowing look. Sexy: yes. Attitude: definitely. The "under the hood stuff": done.

Modern Madrona

4 Beds | 3.25 Baths | 3,574 Sq. Ft. | Offered at $2,395,000

I must confess, I have a weakness for modern homes that are smartly conceived and executed. Only five years old, this chic, statement-making example is tucked into sought-after Madrona and sits high off the street to afford total privacy and expansive westerly views. At once, practical, dramatic, and timeless (and in impeccable condition)!

When it comes to making a statement, nothing thrills me like the classic symmetry of an elegant colonial—the style that has launched 1,000 imitations! Proudly sited on the corner of Newton and Federal, The Gathering Place offers a grand scale and a notable address among its many other attributes.
