September 14, 2021

Confused by the conflicting headlines about whether our market is slowing down or heating up? I’m seeing both – a seasonal slowdown in certain areas/price points and continuing critical inventory shortage/multiple offers in others.  August vs July statistics show a small reduction in the median price of homes on the […]

What an exciting few weeks it’s been!  I’ve traveled from Federal Way to Bothell to Duvall and everywhere in between securing homes for 8 of my buyers. It’s definitely not a “one size fits all” scenario out there.  My strategy varied depending on the situation – in some cases I […]

April was an exciting month for sellers on the Eastside as over 80% of homes sold over their list price. On the positive side for buyers, inventory (though still critically low) increased significantly, and the median price of homes dipped a little from $1.35M to $1.3M for single-family homes and […]

Whether you are a numbers person or not, March statistics are hard to ignore. They mirror what I’m experiencing, working with buyers on both sides of the lake. Seattle is becoming an increasingly attractive option for homebuyers and investors focused on affordability as well as access to employment centers and […]

In my 15 years as a Realtor, this is the strongest seller’s market I have seen. That said, it is important to understand that there is a significant difference between the condo and single-family markets, particularly in Seattle. For condo sellers, this means it’s important to properly prepare and price […]

The excitement continues! This past month I helped 2 of my buyers secure their dream homes despite multiple offers, 3 of my new listings sold before hitting the market, and 2 more sold within days with multiple offers. I have several more listings coming this month and I anticipate more […]
