All of the neighborhoods you listed are great places to live. In general, there may have been about 5-6% appreciation last year and no appreciation this year. If you purchased a home 18 months ago and did minimal changes that would affect value, you would not have seen enough appreciation to offset the cost of selling. Traditionally in Spokane, a home needs to be held for 3-5 years in order to recoup costs to sell. The desirability of each neighborhood is very subjective and will vary from buyer to buyer. Also you will find every price range in each neighborhood. The price range that is experiencing the most activity today is under $200,000. Whether buy or selling real estate it is always advisable to work with an experieinced professional. - Tue Sep 16 2008, 11:34
