Fair Housing is important legislation that points to equality and respect in the real estate world. It lists protected classes of people who might receive unequal treatment. For example, it's against Fair Housing laws to discriminate based on race, s*x, religion or disabililty (see full list for Seattle in the link).

In this election season, it might interest you to know that, in the City of Seattle, "Political Ideology" is one of the classes protected by Fair Housing.

I remember when I first started in the real estate industry in the 2000's, I was driving with a couple looking to purchase their first home (this was back when agents and their clients often toured homes together in the same car!) and it was election season. We were driving down a street with several signs supporting a certain presidential candidate. One of the spouses said to the other, "Oh, I couldn't live in this neighborhood - with people who support him!".

This didn't violate the letter of Fair Housing laws (it's very difficult for buyers to break Fair Housing laws). But in my opinion it did come up against the spirit of it.

We shouldn't need laws to remind us that it's important to treat others equally. But sometimes they're useful for that.

Hopefully we can discuss, debate and live amongst one another with respect.

Happy voting!

While looking through some recent stats, I snipped this out. I think it's an interesting depiction of the practical effects of interest rates. Even though the April 2022 Seattle median sale price was 15% higher than April 2023, the current higher interest rates make the monthly payment basically the same!

There's a lot of stuff to see out there in the local real estate world :-) Found this pic today while combing for something else. Fremont fixer, 2021. I hadn't seen a built-in recipe drawer before...nor since! (especially love the cursive embellishment)
