The 8th Annual Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park

By LFPView, on April 29th, 2010

Don’t miss the 8th annual Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park Garden Fair and Garden Tour on June 19th!

Lake Forest Park is actually quite famous for this tour now – even before the official Secret Gardens Tour, people were organizing to look at gardens all over Lake Forest Park. There are some spectacular hidden gems among the city’s gardens. The Garden Fair – Plant Sale begins at 9AM on the 19th and goes until 4PM with Ciscoe broadcasting his gardening program live from the fair. There will also be vendors offering plants and gardening items for sale. The Garden Fair will be held in the lower portion of the Lake Forest Park Towne Centre and will go until 4PM.  

While the Garden Fair portion of the is going on, the actual Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park tour will also begin starting at 10AM. There will be artists and musicians performing as well to add ambience at each of the five Lake Forest Park home stops along the Garden Tour. You can buy tickets ahead of time via Paypal on the official Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park website for $12 each or you can also purchase them for $15 each (cash or check only) at the Garden Fair on the day of the tour. There will be master gardeners on hand to answer your questions.

This is a great city wide event and worth it just to see some of the gorgeous Lake Forest Park Homes – Ciscoe Morris is a real perk as well in my opinion. Let us know if you are a gardener and interested in a Lake Forest Park home for sale that might offer you some of the exquisite gardening space that some of the gems on tour have. There are a lot of great options right now for the gardening enthusiast if they are interested in Lake Forest Park Real Estate.

Lake Forest Park Homes For Sale: Market Update

By LFPView, on April 24th, 2010

Lake Forest Park WA Homes for sale – Market update right before the tax deadline… What has sold since 3/1/2010? 12 Lake Forest Park homes have sold and closed since the beginning of March 2010. They range in price from $260,000 to $600,000 with an average selling price per square foot of $194. Think 12 is good? This is compared to 22 altogether for the entire year so far. More than half have sold as the deadline for the tax credit approaches. I think the tax credit definitely is having an impact on the sales that have closed so far.

Don’t know what I am talking about? If you want to take advantage of the $8000 IRS Homebuyer tax credit and otherwise qualify, you need to get a purchase and sale agreement signed around by 4/30. You don’t have to close by 4/30, but you do need to get the home purchase under contract by that date and close by the end of June.
