All you have to do is turn on the news or log-in to your search engine to know the Spring real estate market came early this year. Single Family home sales throughout South East King County have been brisk, especially in the under $400,000 price point.  Since the first of the year, 844 homes have gone under contract. This represents a 19% increase over the same time period last year.  Thinking about buying? Here are a few tips on where to start. Ready to buy?  Here are a few tips on Home Shopping. As long as inventory and interest rates remain low, demand in the lower price ranges will continue to exceed supply. For home sellers, this is a welcome change.   Flickr photo credit: Andrea_44

A few times a year, if I'm lucky, I'm able to break away from my South King County real estate practice in order to attend a conference or convention. Every now and then my husband tags along, but more often than not, given that these usually involve early mornings and LONG days, he holds down the homefront. I just came back from just such a solo-attended conference in Portland and was reminded how much I enjoy having that King bed all to myself....elbow room galore. Let's face it, I like my space! Have you seen the tiny house blog? I have NO idea how those people do it. I'd be certifiable after more than 3 days living in something that tiny. Obviously there's a market for that, but I am the female embodiment of Oliver Davis (Eddie Albert's Character in Green Acres). "Green acres is the...

With great thanks to everyone involved, I’m pleased to announce the closed sale of this absolutely wonderful home in Valley Meadows. With multiple offers, we were able to come to contract within about a week of listing.     The honor roll includes: Brandon – the Buyer Dean & Debbie – the Sellers Andy – the relocation rep Sara and Rob from Stewart Title – the title and escrow folks Josh Hall – the Buyer’s broker Dave Jagosh of Pacific NW Home Inspections – the Seller’s inspector and me of course – the Seller’s broker So … how was it done? My clients (the Sellers) were fantastic. They prepped the house exactly as suggested, including having the home pre-inspected, then completed everything on the inspection list. It helped that we used one of the very best inspectors in the area – in fact...

How Odd was this closing?   Let me count the ways:   1.   The property was not Bank or Investor owned   2.   It was not vacant   3.   The Sellers did not need to ask their Lender for approval to sell. It was not a short sale.   4.   The buyers had a home to sell...also not a short sale   5.   The buyer's agent was a FULL-TIME professional and a pleasure to work with   6.   The sale closed on time    It’s funny to think that which was once so common place has now become a rarity.   I’m not complaining mind you, in fact, I’d be willing to take on a whole lot more “oddball” closings like this one, provided all parties are as nice to work with as were those involved with this sale.   Congrats to the new owners……

I've fallen off my blog. It wasn't painful per se, but as I look back now, realizing my last post was about a snow-storm in January I can't help but cringe. Ok, I've been busy. Pending sales are up almost 30% over the same time last year and I feel it. Multiple offers, offers above list price, and sellers now wanting to get in the game are keeping my team and I hopping. We have recently listed some great properties in South King and North Pierce Counties and continue to help local homeowners navigate the short sale process. Today is a beautiful Sunny Saturday in Seattle. Rates are low, prices are low and homes are selling. Beats a snow day in my book!

I do love showing homes to buyers in any area of Puget Sound.  This last week I showed in Poulsbo, Maple Valley, Port Orchard and Covington.  I always find homes that I would love to purchase.  Homes that I can see the vision for and homes that I would love to live in.  Its a good thing that I just can't buy a bunch of homes because I am afraid I would be a home hoarder!  Yeah, I watch that show!   My favorite house last week was in Maple Valley.  I am sure the reason is because  one of my sons live in the Cedar Downs area of Maple Valley so to be close to the new grandson would be so much fun!  I would love to be able to just have him pop on by or be able to pick him up from daycare when my day is light.   Anyway, the home I would have bought this week is a short sale - surprise, surpr...

This Bank owned home now has new owners thanks to our Buyer Specialist Patty Worgan and a great Lending & Escrow team. Buying a HUD home is a completely different process than any other real estate transaction....complete with several hoops the buyer's have to jump through, but in the long run.....it's worth it! This Maple Valley home, is over 2800 square feet, has a HUGE attached shop and is on 2+ acres. It sold for $301,000 (and that price included some repairs needed). In order to buy a HUD home, you must work with a HUD approved Real Estate Broker. It's also wise to work with both a Lender and a Broker who are familiar with the HUD process and have closed HUD sales. Congrats Rory & Suzan, you got a GREAT deal!           Search Maple Valley Bank owned homes here Contact us for more i...
