Seattle/Eastside Market Update – November 2015

 

The hot real estate market shows little sign of slowing down. Home prices continued to move upward. With the number of pending sales exceeding the number of new listings, the supply of homes is falling well short of demand. The inventory of homes in the Puget Sound area is 23 percent less than a year ago.

Seattle/Eastside Market Update – October 2015

Strong sales continue to whittle down a dwindling supply of homes. The lack of supply to meet demand kept driving home prices upward in September. While the Puget Sound area saw steady appreciation over a year ago, there are signs that the frenzied level of growth may be starting to moderate – good news for a market that was starting to look unsustainable.

The Seattle market continues to be very hot. Homes are snapped up as soon as they come on the market. As a result, the city has under a month of available inventory, the lowest in the region. Home prices climbed 10 percent over last year to a median of $571,000. That increase hasn’t seemed to decrease demand from buyers, who have become accustomed to facing multiple offers on newly listed homes.

Pumpkin Carving Photo Contest

Fall is one of my favorite seasons – the turning leaves, a pumpkin spice latte, a morning walk in the crisp fall air. All of which has inspired our next contest!  We’re looking for your most creative pumpkins. Whether spooky, funny, friendly or frightening, we want to see your creative designs. You can even do a no-carve design. Need ideas? Check out our pinterest page here.

Plymouth Housing Group – Key to Hope

 

Today I had the pleasure of attending the Plymouth Housing Group Key to Hope Luncheon.  I am thrilled to be part of an organization that is having such a positive impact on housing in Seattle.

As a real estate agent, I have the opportunity to help people find their first homes and their dream homes. It is such an exciting time for buyers.  Plymouth understands the power that comes from having a place to call your own.  PHG believes in a “housing first” philosophy to empower those who have been less fortunate.  By addressing the basic need of shelter, it provides a safe place for them to receive essential supportive services and begin to rebuild their lives and leave homelessness behind.

It was a privilege to hear human rights activist, Bryan Stevenson as the keynote speaker. As he shared his stories, he filled the room with hope and inspiration.  I highly recommend his TED talk or pick up his book, Just Mercy.

It fills my heart to be able to support Plymouth Housing Group and the work they do.  I believe in giving back to a world that is so generous, so a portion of every sale goes to support causes I believe in.  Plymouth Housing Group and Windermere Foundation are two worthy organizations making an impact in the lives of others.
