Thinking about buying a home in Federal Way or South King County this fall?

A few tips before you start touring:

Get pre-approved with a lender first so you know your real budget and can move fast when the right home shows up.

Make a list of true must-haves versus nice-to-haves — it keeps you from overpaying for features you don't need.

Don't skip the home inspection, even in a competitive market; it's often your best tool for catching costly surprises early.

And remember to budget for property taxes, insurance, and closing costs, not just the purchase price.

With homes still moving quickly in many local neighborhoods, having your ducks in a row makes all the difference.

Have questions about the buying process or want to talk through your options? Send me a message — I'm happy to help. 🏠

Always a good time linking with my guy, Alex. Trying to buy a house but refuses to buy a new battery for the Prius 😆

Neighborhood spotlight: Dash Point 🌲 Tucked in the northwest corner of Federal Way along Puget Sound, Dash Point is one of those areas that makes people fall in love with this city.

Think tree-lined streets, easy access to Dash Point State Park's beach and trails, and a quieter, more residential feel while still being minutes from I-5 and Highway 509 commuter routes. It's popular with buyers who want space and privacy without giving up proximity to Tacoma or Seattle.

Homes here range from cozy mid-century properties to larger view lots, and inventory tends to move quickly when the right listing hits.

If you've been eyeing this part of Federal Way, I'd love to show you what's currently available or help you understand what your home might be worth here.

Selling in today's market takes a bit more strategy than it did a couple years ago.

With King County inventory climbing toward 8,000 active listings and days-on-market stretching to around three weeks, pricing right from day one matters more than ever — overpriced homes are the ones sitting.

A few things that still move the needle: fresh paint and decluttering before photos, addressing obvious repairs upfront so they don't become negotiation leverage later, and pricing based on recent comparable sales rather than last year's numbers.

Pierce County is holding up a bit stronger for sellers than King County right now, with homes still selling close to 99% of list price. If you're weighing whether to list this fall, let's talk through your specific street before you decide. 📋

Pierce County market check-in.If you’re watching the South Sound market, here’s where things stand.

Across Pierce County, the typical home value is around $572,000, essentially flat year-over-year, while homes are going to pending in about 16 days on average.

In Tacoma specifically, the median sale price is running near $499,700, up modestly from last year, with homes still moving fast and many receiving multiple offers.

Compare that to Federal Way and King County just to the north, and you can see why more buyers are widening their search into Pierce County for better value without sacrificing commute options.

Numbers like these shift month to month, so if you’re timing a purchase or sale, it helps to have someone tracking them closely on your behalf. Questions about what this means for your goals? Let’s talk! 📊
