The latest housing market information from Windermere's Chief Economist has been published. Watch the video link below for all the details, but here are a few highlights: Due to inflation and other global factors, mortgage interest rates aren't set to go down until inflation shows clearer improvement. Inventory is growing, but don't expect a flooded market. Here are some things to consider if you're looking to buy or sell a home:
* Buyers have more choices this spring—but not an oversupply
* Competitive, well-priced homes will still move fast in desirable areas. So buyers need to be ready to act quickly and sellers need to focus on standing out in a crowded market.
As always, we're here to help you unpack all the nuances of a changing real estate market. Give us a call if you'd like to discuss whether or not it's a good time to buy or sell!

We’re proud to continue supporting our incredible community partners at HomePlate Youth Services in Beaverton! 💙

Our office, Windermere West, recently donated $2,500 to help further HomePlate’s mission of supporting young people experiencing housing instability. Their work provides critical resources, safety, and opportunity for youth in our community. The following are just a few examples of the many services HomePlate provides to youth, ages 12 - 24: Weekly meals, drop-in locations to do homework, showering facilities, clothing, hygiene essentials, and a warm and safe environment for teens and young adults to relax and be supported.

Our partnership goes far beyond financial support. Over the years, Windermere West agents and staff have volunteered their time through community service days—helping with yardwork, building maintenance projects, and organizing clothing donations to ensure youth have the essentials they need.
We’re grateful to stand alongside organizations like HomePlate Youth Services that are making a real difference in the lives of local young people. Thank you for the work you do every day!

Windermere Economics has the latest economic update. See highlights below or watch the video, here's the link: https://youtu.be/H8bT6MuSllQ?si=7T3QoynbcnwIrUUF

Economic Snapshot: Government Shutdown Edition 🏛️📉
With the government shutdown, key reports like inflation (CPI) and jobs data are on pause — but the last labor market update (JOLTS) gives us a glimpse of where things stand.

👷‍♀️ Labor Market:
Hiring rate: 3.2% — the lowest since 2010.
Layoff rate: 1.1% — still low, but slightly up from record lows.
➡️ Translation: Employers aren’t expanding much, but they’re also not cutting staff. For workers, things feel stable but sluggish. For job seekers, it’s a tough market.

🏡 Housing Market:
Inventory: Up 17% from last year, giving buyers a bit more leverage — though that growth is slowing.
Mortgage rates: Now around 6.25%, the lowest in a year, as Treasury yields fall below 4%.

📊 Big Picture:
The economy looks slow but steady — no signs of a recession yet, but definite cooling. Employers and homeowners alike are hunkering down as the next chapter of the cycle unfolds.
