Way back in September we launched our latest price-guessing contest: Guess the Price Round 7: West Seattle Almost-Beach<\/a>. Forty readers made guesses this round before the contest deadline.<\/p>\n

\"3015<\/a>Today’s “Guess the Price” guest star is 3015 64th Ave SW<\/a> in West Seattle.<\/p>\n

This round’s home hit the market last Wednesday with an asking price of $529,000<\/strong>. It last sold almost 13 years ago in November 2000 for $320,000, so today’s asking price represents average annual appreciation of just under 4 percent. For reference, the Case-Shiller index for Seattle has gained roughly 3 percent per year over the same period, a rate that would put the current value of this home at $475,000.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Your guesses ranged from $425,000 to $540,000. The average price guessed was $512,220, and the median guess was $515,000. Here’s the plot of all the guesses, with the final close price & date marked in green:<\/p>\n

\"Price<\/div>\n

According to the NWMLS, the home sold on January 31 (almost five months after listing), with a closing price of $451,000<\/strong>. Only one person guessed lower than the sale price. However, that person was not the closest. The closest guess was $468,850 by Anna. Congratulations!<\/p>\n

Here’s the difference between the average guess and the final sale price our contests so far:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. -2.2%<\/li>\n
  2. +5.5%<\/li>\n
  3. -10.5%<\/li>\n
  4. +10.0%<\/li>\n
  5. +2.8%<\/li>\n
  6. -2.4%<\/li>\n
  7. +13.6%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Bummer, you guys were way off this time around. Never thought I would say this, but apparently we have far too optimistic a crowd here! Heh.<\/p>\n

    Stay tuned in the next few weeks, when we’ll kick off another round of Guess the Price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
