Forever views are hard to find . . .

But when you find a forever view, you'll know it.  This new listing of mine at 2606 Perkins Lane West captures the sweeping views of Puget Sound & the Olympic Mountains.  From nearly every room in the home you will find yourself gazing out the windows, or wandering out onto one of the many decks.  It was designed to be open and light inside, while banks of windows and French Doors draw your eyes...

When to list your home?

Is there really a "best time" to put your home on the market?  The old saying about selling in May does not ring true in our current market.  Today home buyers are looking throughout the year, with January pulling in as many brokers and buyers as a home listed in the Spring or Summer.  During our winter months the weekends are key for getting buyers through the home.  The gardens are not yet...

The neighbors . . .

Like the mantra "location, location, location" the neighborhood matter too.  When you're deciding to buy a new home the feel of the immediate area is influenced by the neighbors.  I love to know who is nearby and to see folks I recognize and give them a wave when we cross paths.  Socializing with neighborhood friends is right up at the top of my list of great ways to fit in and be part of the...

Selling in a Summer Market

This home that I just listed in Blue Ridge at 1537 NW Woodbine Way has that enticing outdoor view patio that is so seldom found.  The French doors off the Dining Room open right out onto it, and in fact it becomes the favorite room in the house all summer long.  When you're able to sit down, feel a sense of privacy, enjoy views without any phone wires and some amazing sunsets, you've added up just about...

Competing in Multiple Offers in Seattle

The Seattle real estate market is still surprisingly hot, with inventory lagging typical standards.  If you're out shopping for a home, my best advice is to shop in a lower range than what your maximum amount of purchase is because nearly all multiple offers lead to a sales price above the asking price, and if you're shopping at the top of your price range you'll be frustrated with the outcome. ...
