Oh. My.<\/strong> Goodness.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Remember this?<\/p>\n

13425 Avondale Rd NE, Woodinville<\/u>
\n\"13425May 2006<\/a>: $1,625,000 (Asking)
\nAugust 2006<\/a>: $1,495,000 (Asking)
\nOctober 2006<\/a>: $1,275,000 (Asking)
\nNovember 2006<\/a>: $1,275,000 (Asking – New Brokerage)
\nJanuary 2007<\/a>: $1,275,000 (Relisted)
\nFebruary 2007<\/a>: $1,275,000 (sold<\/strong>\u2014finally<\/em>)<\/p>\n

You thought it was over, but oh no. It is not.
\nDecember 2007<\/a>: $1,650,000 (Flipping?!?)<\/p>\n

I kid you not. February’s buyers have now put this beast back<\/em> on the market<\/a>, at nearly 30%<\/strong> over what they paid for it just ten months ago<\/em>, and $25,000 over the previous owner\/builder’s original ridiculously high asking price last summer.<\/p>\n

Just for laughs, here is the description in the MLS this time around:<\/p>\n

Amazing NW Craftsman Lodge-style home. 3+private acres! Soaring high ceilings announce the entertainment size entry with Brazilian Cherry wood floors flowing into the formal dining room and beyond giving a spectacular entrance. A cozy library greets you, next to a living room\/flex room. The Master Suite has a territorial view, fireplace,jetted-tub,and glass block shower. Seperate [sic]<\/em> Nanny’s quarter’s and bedrooms +. This is a ‘must see’ and too wonderful for words. Come experience this grand home!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can think of something to describe as “soaring high,” and it’s not the ceilings.<\/p>\n

Good luck with this one, you’re going to need it. Badly.<\/p>\n
