This weekend I'll be holding open a 3 bedroom/2.25 bathroom home at 5615 SW Winthrop St. Winthrop Street is one block off Admiral Way, so the home has a nice view of the Sound and Mountains. This is an updated Craftsman home originally built in 1909. Listed by George Butterfield, you can view photos and details by going to Yahoo.com and typing PRU3V9F4 in the search box on the home page. I'll be there from 1-4 both Saturday and Sunday. I hope you'll stop by and say hello.

A message from Troy at Arboretum

Here is a brief status report on current loan rates, according to Troy Chambers of Arboretum Mortgage:

"The rates have stayed pretty steady this week. They continue to be very good, and I am getting loans through the new underwriting guidelines with no problems! Do not be fearful of the news reports, as delivering loans is still quick and simple process when working with the right people! Please contact me, should you or anyone you know be in need of any mortgage financing."

Savvy Seattle Women: A Homeowners' Network

Real Estate and the Single Adult

Single women & men represent an increasing share of real estate investors. I specialize in working with single buyers.

As a single woman myself, I recognize the unique challenges -- as well as unique opportunities -- involved in buying a home on your own. On the one hand, you don't have to take anyone else's tastes or needs into consideration when deciding upon which home you want. On the other hand, there is probably no one else to share the responsibility of such a significant decision. You may consult many people, but ultimately the weight of the choice is on your shoulders alone.

This makes it all the more important to hire a buyer's agent you trust and on whom you can rely. Call me for a no-obligation, no-hassle consultation concerning how I can help you buy a new home with less stress than you thought possible. 206-708-9800.

I also offer free 2-hour homebuyer education workshops designed specifically for single adults. Call me for upcoming dates and locations. 206-708-9800.

How's the Market?

What have you heard about the real estate market in the news recently? Seems as if there's a new alarm bell rung every day, doesn't it? How do you know what to believe? How do you learn to read between the lines?

Following are a few general guidelines to help you interpret what you hear/read about real estate in the media.

1) Sensationalism sells: Real Estate is a topic that interests a wide segment of the population. It is a reporter’s job to focus on whichever angle will grab reader attention.

2) There is no such thing as a national real estate market: Although it can be helpful to report on national and regional trends, with rare exception, the relative health of a real estate market is affected more by LOCAL events than by national events. Markets differ significantly from city to city and even neighborhood to neighborhood.

3) Public perception changes the market: Consumer perception of the current state of the real estate market has the power to change the actual market dramatically and almost instantaneously. The extremes of consumer fear and confidence are powerful forces.

Welcome!
