A new MLS rule went live this morning that can hide days on market and price changes from buyers for up to three weeks.

Good for sellers. Less good for buyers.

Weโ€™re pivoting a listing to use it today, because Iโ€™d rather learn how it works firsthand than complain about it from the sidelines.

Curious where everyone else lands on this one.

Seattleโ€™s summer slowdown is real, but certain buyers are still very much in the market, especially first-time buyers who arenโ€™t giving up a 3% mortgage to make a move.

๐Ÿ”จ Tackling buyer objections with a sawmill

This week, Blue Ridge went pending after a tough negotiation, Javila helped us unpack what buyers have been saying, and Rob escaped to Whidbey to mill a few slabs of maple.

The summer slowdown is here. Buyers have more leverage, open houses are competing with paddleboards, and getting deals done requires more patience than usual.

New Fed Chair. Same Mortgage Confusion.

Inventory is high. Buyers are hesitant. Mortgage rates are back up. And everyone hoping the new Fed Chair magically fixes housing may want to keep their expectations Seattle-spring-weather realistic.

This Market Needs a Mom ๐ŸŒธ

April data confirmed what weโ€™re seeing in the trenches: buyers have more choices, but not more confidence. The best homes are still moving. The โ€œalmost rightโ€ homes are sitting. Sellers pricing like itโ€™s 2021 may need Mom to call a timeout. Buyers may need Mom to bring snacks and perspective.

Happy Motherโ€™s Day to all the moms making better decisions than the rest of us.

Mayday for the Market? Why It Feels So Slow

Itโ€™s May Day, and the market seems to be calling Mayday. Sales are still happening, but buyers have choices and somehow all want the same house.

Plus, a very happy birthday to my amazing sister, Jenn.
