A Good Argument For Why To Buy In The Next Year…
Seattle real estate has definitely slowed down this year although I am still pretty busy, but I like to read all of the local posts and articles on what is going on out there. The title of this one from The Seattle Post-Intelligencer was pretty negative, but really is a good argument on why we should be out there investing in our local housing in the next year. Okay, yes, I am a Seattle Realtor so I am biased, right, but I am also a person who is deeply involved with my clients and their well being – always trying to look out for what is around the corner. To me, this looks like an opportunity. Read it for yourself and let me know what you think:

Buying up some of these new construction houses in the coming months might be a great way to get ahead when 2012 rolls around…. Plus the builders are thinking more short term and trying to off load these properties with many perks alongside them.

I was thrilled when I spotted a cool deal at Bartell’s over the weekend – hubby looked at me and said, “Is that for real?” The sign said: 4/$1.00 on energy saving florescent bulbs for our lamps. These are normally about $2.50 on a good day, but the lovely people at Bartell’s in Mountlake Terrace had marked them down to $1.25 and had coupons from SNO PUD for $1 off each one at the registers – no limits! I couldn’t believe there wasn’t a run on them. We were tame and only bought a dozen, but I did send my teenager back later to buy a couple more bags!
Yes, we are in a buyer’s market in Seattle – that is obvious as the inventory has increased and the buyer pool is smaller. In addition, short sales and foreclosures have increased so much so that the NWMLS has had to come out with new

Feb 2008 Seattle real estate seems to be hopping – could have something to do with the amazing sunny weather we have been having, but hot neighborhoods include Ballard, Crown Hill, Phinney, Fremont, Greenlake, Wallingford, East Lake, Queen Anne, Lake Union, and Eastlake! I put an Eastlake condo on last month and it got an offer in five days! This real estate sale in Seattle had nothing to do with luck. I gave my sellers a clear plan of attack and they took charge and listened to me on every point. I am still getting calls asking if this place is available to buy as a result.
