Seattle: Properties for Sale Receive Up To 30 Offers
According to HousingWire, a large number of residents in Seattle and the Puget Sound region work at high-paying jobs for companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, to name a few. Most of those workers saw their net worth increase in the past year, and they chose to invest much of that new money into real estate.
That’s why, says Realtor.com, the average asking price for a home in Seattle is around $750,000 — up 3.4%, year over year. The median sale price is even higher, at $795,000 with winning offers at 10% to 20% above asking price with up to 30 offers per home. It’s definitely a seller’s market! To combat this, buyers should make sure they have all of their financial ducks in a row before considering home shopping.

This one sure was a charmer! Today's real estate market is not for the faint of heart when it comes to buying. It can be downright frustrating to be beat by the competition time and time again. There's no time like the present to need an agent who can think outside of the box and who knows how to write a competitive offer to pull out all the stops to get you your dream home! (Even if that means offering way before the offer review date like we did on this gem...) I'm here if you need me!
It is an honor and a privilege, and honestly the highest compliment I can receive, to get to work with clients a second time around. Congratulations to my awesome repeat buyers on the purchase of their new abode. What a beauty it is! Wishing you many happy memories in your new home.

It's monthly stat time!
King County here's how you stacked up in April 2021 vs. April 2020:
2,047 more new listings this year in April. (We have Covid to thank last April for what seems like a large differential this year.)
1,545 more closed sales this April.
Average days on market down by 3 days to just 13.
Inventory down from a 1.7 month supply to a .6 month supply.
Median sales price up by $95,000 to $750,000.
Inventory did not change from March to April this year and we definitely feel it. Bidding wars still continue across the board with many sellers taking early offers before their review date even has a chance to arrive. Though I feel like I'm seeing a bit more inventory start to appear this month, it's getting snatched up equally as fast.
I say it every month, but NOW is the time to sell. There hasn't been a market quite like this in my 16 years of selling, so trust me when I tell you, you likely won't be disappointed with the results. If you've been considering a move, I'd be glad to chat!
Springtime Switches: Ways to Make Your Space Ready for Spring
This last winter was particularly hard for a lot of us, but spring has landed with a glorious splash of sunshine. Houzz has a bunch of wonderful ways to welcome springtime into your home. From the simple act of opening a window or clearing off a countertop to a quick refresh of your living room, adding a pop of color or painting something white - there are myriad of options that you can choose from to make your home springtime ready.
Snohomish Market Snapshot
Snohomish County friends, let me paint you a picture...
Your housing inventory levels dropped in March to their lowest point yet! In February, they showed a .5-month supply, but are now down to a .3-month supply. This means it would take .3 of a month to sell EVERYTHING currently listed across all price points. When you think about how large the county is, this is mind boggling.
If you have a home to sell in the county, NOW is the time! These inventory levels along with the high demand are creating some of the craziest bidding wars I've seen in my 16 years of real estate. Thinking of selling? It's GO time...seriously!
In other news...
Days on market were sliced in half YOY
Median sales price increased by $100,538 YOY
If you've been on the fence about selling, let me be your guide to show you how much equity you may be sitting on. I think you'll be pretty happy with the results!
