Sage Sanders Sells Seattle

09/03/2026

There’s a lot that happens behind the scenes when I’m helping a buyer or seller make a decision.

One of the people I utilize in my business is Brandice Raybourn, who provides detailed market research and analysis I use when I need to look deeper than the usual market statistics.

Brandice researches what’s happening across Snohomish and King Counties by city, property type and price point, so when we’re looking at a particular home, neighborhood or market, I have another layer of local data to work with.

It’s especially helpful because real estate rarely behaves the same way across an entire county. What’s happening with a $700,000 resale can look completely different from new construction, condos or another price range just a few miles away.

I wrote a little more about Brandice, what she does behind the scenes in my business, and why I believe this kind of research matters when making real estate decisions.

For many homeowners, downsizing isn't really about moving into a smaller house.

It's about deciding what comes next.

Whether you're planning for retirement, helping a parent transition, simplifying your lifestyle, or simply exploring your options, there are a lot of moving pieces. Knowing where to start can often feel overwhelming.

That's why I've created a new Downsizing Resource Center for homeowners in Snohomish and King County.

Inside you'll find:

• Educational videos about the downsizing process

• A comprehensive downsizing planning guide

• A library of trusted local professionals and resources

• The opportunity to create a personalized downsizing plan based on your goals and timeline

My hope is that this becomes a place you can return to whenever you're ready. Whether your move is next month or several years away, having the right information can make every decision a little easier.

If you or someone you know has been thinking about downsizing, I'd love for you to take a look. https://downsizing.sagesanders.com/start
