Spring is usually one of the busiest times of the year for the real estate industry. It makes sense, if you want to be moving in the early summer time when school is out then there is no better time to be house shopping than the present. Last month I wrote about how the impacts […]
How is Coronavirus impacting the Puget Sound real estate market and what Jay Inslee’s emergency order means for real estate brokers and transactions.
What a year so far. I saw a lot of jokes on social media about being on the 90th day of January and wondering when it would be over, and it sure felt that way to me with one of the wettest months on record! Through February 6th we had the third wettest start for […]
2019 has come to a close and the big headline from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS) is that agents facilitated 92,503 closings which represented more than $49 billion in sales.
