So many congratulations to my recent buyer clients who took advantage of the cooler summer market to secure properties with seller concessions and protective contingencies intact!

The first property, situated just outside of Monroe, was the ideal match for a couple relocating to be nearer to their family. They were specifically searching for a home designed for aging in place, so I found them a newer rambler with a perfectly sized yard. We successfully negotiated $30,000 in combined price reductions and seller-paid closing costs, and preserving our independent inspection.

My second closing has been long in coming -- for a wonderful couple and their fur baby putting down roots in Seattle after being travel nurses. We had paused in 2025 and then restarted our househunt this summer, but were faced with stiff competition in the desirable pocket of West Seattle. We turned to Burien, where we found success and afforability in a modernized 1940s build with the bonus of a two car garage. We secured over $17K towards a seller paid rate buydown, kept our inspection as part of our negotiations.

SPRING 2026 QUARTERLY REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dd4enblmb8st1vd3engzm/April-2026-Market-Update.pdf?rlkey=k974xlhxhq1k3wsyd7l04x0qr&dl=0

Our spring market is unfolding amidst various economic and geopolitical challenges that may temper the momentum witnessed earlier this year when interest rates temporarily dipped below 6%, offering some relief to borrowers. Although rates remain unpredictable, buyers continue to exercise greater discretion, leading to a slowdown in pending sales, extended time on the market for properties, and creating opportunities for buyers to negotiate favorable terms.

An increase in inventory—30-60% more active listings in certain areas—has not led to a race to the bottom among sellers and kept prices largely stable. Highly sought-after neighborhoods continue to thrive, showing significant buyer interest and appreciation, which further characterizes our market as "selective."

While we are still early in the season, the 2026 local real estate environment will likely be defined by it's resilience in the face of challenges. National headlines and trends do not translate to market behavior, so doing your prep work as a buyer and seller to understand the hyperlocal realities is critical .

If you’re a buyer wanting to better understand your specific market criteria before starting your house hunt or a seller curious about your property valuation, please do reach out for a personalized data report.

Pleased to commemorate a sale with an original drawing. So many congrats to my clients who closed today on their craftsman bungalow near the desirable hub of Greenwood Ave!

Navigating the Ballard and Greenwood area has been exceedingly tough, with super high escalations from multiple offers being the norm. We had to adjust our goals (going for a less competitive 1 bathroom) in order to secure a property with the potential to be a long term home for them.

We beat out 4 other offers with a competitive offer, but still managed to secure the property for less than it ended up appraising for!

Opportunity in this spring market is out there, but desirable pockets still exist - so knowing your risk tolerance and doing prep work can make or break your success.
