For the first time in many years, I’m seeing far more signs that the Seattle area real estate market is back to normal and picking up speed. 2013 marked my most successful year in real estate since I joined Windermere and I am seeing many indicators for a big sales year in 2014. The pace is fast, financing on sales is running smoothly, escrow offices are buzzing with activity and sold signs are up. I asked my mentor Matt Carroll, who owns and runs the Windermere Greenwood office where I am working, for his predictions for 2014. He said “We are entering a golden age of growth and development in the Seattle Marketplace. Seattle housing should keep pace with that demand, and with the right agents, the sky is the limit. When we look back on this in ten years, with the Viaduct coming down, the waterfront changing, 70,000 apartments being built in the past few years and unemployment approaching record lows for our area, we are in for a decade of long term stability and growth.” He sums it up well and I concur. Here’s to success in 2014!
