Search for Homes on you phone!

Here's a new, convenient, instant way to get information on listed homes when you are out and about the town. On your web-enabled phone, type into your browser the URL http://m.AliceSellsRealEstate.com and a search program will come up. From there you can enter a particular address, a zip code, a city name, or an MLS number! It also gives you options for searching for homes with criteria such as number of beds/baths, etc.

Give it a try! It's free!

P.S. It works on your Mac or PC as well.

Current mortgage loan rates

Here is your weekly update on mortgage loan rate activity, courtesy of Troy Chambers, loan officer for Arboretum Mortgage.

We are extremely close to going even lower with these interest rates and a small rally next week could push us squarely to the mid 4's (%). Rates look fantastic right now and it's a very good time to either look at a refinance or a new home purchase. Either way, I can help, so please feel free to call my cell phone at any time 425-418-5103. I will be available all through the weekend as well.

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.
