I had two new listings hit the market today! One is a cute rambler in Pacific, and the other a 2 bedroom condo in Kent.

Let me know if you want a tour or have any questions about either of these:

Great insight as to what is going on with interest rates from a lending partner of mine. Click the link for the full article!

"Freddie Mac’s 30-year fixed-rate mortgage average barely shifted week-over-week, falling just 0.04% to 6.35%, but the encouraging part is exactly what Freddie’s analysts noted in their report. They said, “This week’s decrease continues a recent sideways trend in mortgage rates, which is a welcome departure from the record increases of last year. While inflation remains elevated, its rate of growth has moderated and is expected to decelerate over the remainder of 2023. This should bode well for the trajectory of mortgage rates over the long-term.”

Inflation continued its snail-like slowdown in April with both the consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI) coming in lighter than expected. The Labor Department’s CPI report on May 10 showed a 4.9% annual increase, against expectations of a 5% increase. The same agency’s PPI re...

With this most recent sale in Auburn I hit 100 homes SOLD! I helped 57 Sellers net more money for their homes, and 43 Buyers invest in real estate in some of the hardest years to buy a home.

So glad to be at this point in my career. Thank you to everyone who has supported my business!

Another satisfied seller! Sometimes the seller doesn't want us to do any work and simply sell it "AS-IS." Even when you go that route, there's a right way to do it:

- Multiple Offers
- Inspection Waived
- Sold in 1 Weekend
- Escalating bids to maximize price

Figuring out what a home should sell for in the current market is one of the most critical skills a real estate agent can have to support both their buyers and sellers.

Here’s a quick graphic showing a little bit about what we take into account when looking at comparable homes in the area.

“This house has been remodeled and is in great shape. It's currently listed at $499K and has been sitting on the market for 19 days. With the rising interest rates and increased inventory, the market is currently in a decline. I think they priced it well for what the market condition was just a few months ago.

I believe this house would sell for around $470,000 today based on the comparables and the current market condition. Just a few months ago, this price point would have inspired a bidding war and likely would end up selling for a few 10s of thousands over the list price.”
