We just got an interesting look at a huge spreadsheet of data from the folks over at Redfin, detailing the state of the regional real estate market. Here's a few numbers to chew on: Median List Median Sale Median Sale Change from Last Mo Median Sale Change from Last Yr Median Sale $ / Sq Ft Seattle $460,000 $429,000 +4.3% +3.9% $289 Wallingford $587,655 $600,000 +15.4% +11.1% $379 Green Lake $575,000 $426,000 -1.8% 1.4% $350 Columbia City $309,000 $338,000 -4.6% -8.2%…
Here are some highlights of last week's haps beyond Wallingford: I can’t help but share two interesting pieces of information from Fremont Universe: First, the building which houses the Dubliner Restaurant and Pub has sold for an impressive $4.05 million. While there is no official word as to the fate of the Irish pub, it was rumored that the apartments above might be converted into a hotel. The second piece of news is a bit more bizarre: On Saturday morning, a man…
Tom is selling his 1911 home over by Densmore and 39th and asked if a home could "sponsor" Wallyhood. The story and photos he sent provide a beautiful and fascinating snapshot history of Wallingford, so we hope you'll forgive us the appearance of editorial / advertising conflict by sharing it in its entirety: One Saturday a couple of years ago we were preparing a dinner for friends when the front doorbell rang. At the door was a gentleman in his fifties,…
The Wallyhoods have been dreaming and scheming now that Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADU, aka your garage converted into a mother-in-law unit) have been legalized in Seattle. To feed our micro-developer jones, we're heading to the Home Design & Remodel Fair this weekend at the at the Phinney Neighborhood Center: The PNA is hosting its 13th annual home design and remodel fair on January 31, 2010.

We'd like to draw your attention in particular to 4333 Wallingford Ave…
Like we mentioned, we've got a small passel of new sponsors coming on board, so we hope you'll excuse the small passel of welcome sponsor posts. For this one, we turn our attention to HistoricHomesInSeattle, realtors focusing on vintage and historic homes. We're not going to talk about that at all, though. Instead, we're going to share a bit of the story we found on the "About" page on their site, which we find more interesting than complimenting realtors on their…
Well, this week's map would be better titled "Open Houses and Garage Sale", because we've only got one garage sale. What's happening, people, you actually want to keep all that stuff? It's junk! Get rid of it! View Wallingford / Green Lake Garage Sales & Open Houses in a larger map As always, thanks to My Green Lake for assembling.
