Springtime is buying time in Seattle, same as every year. This past week I posted a couple of sold strips over in Magnolia, beautiful two-story classic homes that my clients will enjoy for many years. The Seattle real estate market is brisk, as one client put it yesterday “Yikes, it’s a jungle out there” and that’s due in part to how little housing inventory we have available, coupled with low interest rates, buyers with savings who are ready to purchase and a strong level of interest in owning vs. renting. If you’re looking for ways to position yourself to get into your next dream home my three-step advice is simple: (1) Call Jackie Murphy at Cobalt mortgage (she’s in my services index that you can pull down at www.liztalley.com) and get pre-approved as a buyer, (2) share with me your list of “must haves” so I’ll know the home when I see it, and (3) take my advice about how to structure your offer so it will be likely to be accepted in what is often a multiple bidding scenario. I will do all that I possibly can to get you the home of your dreams. Congrats to Irene & Chris and to Alicia & Curt!
