🏀 Hoopfest Weekend is HERE, Spokane! Plus 3 things you need to know from the City this week...

It’s officially the best (and busiest) weekend of the summer in the Inland Northwest. If you are heading downtown or just trying to navigate the city, here is your quick community cheat sheet to stay ahead of the crowd:

🛑 Hoopfest Safety & Extra Patrols: Expect thousands of visitors and major traffic changes. Spokane Police, County Sheriff, and WSP will have massive traffic emphasis patrols out. Heads up: They are staging an impaired driving processing unit right at the Convention Center. Drive safe, drive sober, or get a rideshare!

☀️ Summer Carnival & 4th of July: Looking past this weekend, ICCU is bringing a 5-day Summer Carnival to Riverfront Park from July 1st–5th. The big Spokane Symphony concert and fireworks show is locked in for Saturday, July 4th! 🎆

🚸 Big News for Families: The City and Spokane Public Schools are launching a pilot program to expand affordable, high-quality childcare, initially launching at Balboa and Whitman Elementary Schools. This is an awesome step for neighborhood-based early learning.

🚦 City Council is Shifting Days: If you participate in local meetings, note that starting July 14th, legislative sessions are moving from Mondays to Wednesdays at 6:00 PM.

Enjoy the tournament, support our local downtown businesses, and stay safe out there this weekend!

🚨 SPOKANE BUYERS: We just found a weird glitch in the local housing market data... and it's heavily in your favor. 📉🏠

Everyone knows that finding a home under $400k in Spokane right now takes some strategy. Overall, our market is sitting at 3.3 months of inventory (3,476 homes for sale with 1,060 currently pending).

But when you look closer at the specific price brackets, something really interesting is happening right now:

🔹 The Tight Zone ($275k - $325k): This bracket is highly competitive. There are 248 homes for sale, but 103 are already pending. That leaves us with a tight 2.4 months of inventory. Buyers are moving fast here.

🔹 The Opportunity Zone ($325k - $350k): You would think spending an extra $25k would mean facing more competition, but it's the exact opposite. There are 175 homes for sale in this bracket, but only 51 are pending. That pushes inventory up to 3.4 months.

💡 The Takeaway: If you have been shopping in the $300k range and getting frustrated by multiple offers, stretching your budget just slightly into the $325k–$350k window actually gives you more options, more breathing room, and significantly less competition to negotiate.

Want to see what’s currently sitting active in that $325k-$350k sweet spot this week? Send me a DM and I'll send over the current list! 📲

To my Spokane real estate investors, landlords, and past clients... I’ve got some updates for you! 📣👇

A lot is shifting in the insurance world this month, and I want to make sure your properties and portfolios are protected without any surprises. Three quick things you need to know:

1️⃣ Safeco is now Liberty Mutual 🏷️
As of April 17th, Safeco officially rebranded under the Liberty Mutual name. Don't do a double-take or throw away the envelope when you see Liberty Mutual on your insurance documents—your coverage and policy terms are exactly the same, it’s just a name change!

2️⃣ Massive Win for Rental Property Owners 🏢
Travelers just launched an eligibility expansion in Washington that opens up stand-alone landlord and condo policies. Better yet? They didn't file a rate increase in WA this year. If you’ve been struggling to find affordable coverage for your rental properties or condos, this is a huge door opening back up.

3️⃣ The Hyundai/Kia Headache is Over 🚗
If you or your tenants own a Hyundai or a Kia, you know they've been an insurance nightmare lately due to theft risks. Good news: Mutual of Enumclaw has officially reopened eligibility for these vehicles and is back to same-day binding.

Staying on top of these changes is how we protect your real estate wealth. If you’ve added a property to your portfolio or want to review your rental coverage, let’s connect!

Let's talk about the real numbers: What does insurance actually cost in Spokane right now? 💳📈

No secret here—insurance isn't cheap right now. But if you're trying to figure out your monthly budget for buying a home or investment property, guessing will ruin your math.

Here is a look at what the actual average premiums are running on new policies written so far in 2026:
🏡 Homeowners: $1,874/year (~$156/month)
🚗 Auto: $2,363/year
🪵 Landlord Policies (Rentals): $1,161/year
☂️ Umbrella Policy: $403/year

Two things to watch out for if you're shopping around:
1️⃣ The "Allstate Pivot": Allstate just filed a 20.9% rate increase for new business in Washington as they transition to National General.
2️⃣ The Progressive Trap: Progressive still strictly requires you to bundle your home and auto to even be eligible for a homeowner policy. If your auto insurance has to stay elsewhere, we need to know that early.

💡 The Best Value Hack on this List: Look at that Umbrella number ($403/year). For about $33 a month, an umbrella policy gives you $1M+ in extra liability protection that sits on top of your home and auto. If you own a home or a rental property, that is incredibly cheap peace of mind.

Want to see if your current premium is beating the 2026 averages? Send me a message and I’ll connect you with a local independent broker who can shop 20+ carriers for you for free! 📲

🚨 SPOKANE BUYERS: Two things you need to know before your home inspection this week. 🚨

When you're buying a home in Spokane, you expect the inspector to look at the foundation or the furnace. But did you know a little bit of green roof moss could completely stall your home insurance policy and delay your closing? 🛑

Local insurance brokers are seeing a massive spike in home insurance policies getting flagged after the insurance company's inspection because of roof moss buildup. Insurance companies are absolute sticklers about it right now.

💡 The Quick Fix: If we notice moss on the roof of a house you’re buying, we want to negotiate getting it professionally cleaned before closing day so it doesn’t create a giant insurance headache at the worst possible time.

🎉 Some Good News for Older Homes: If you love Spokane’s historic properties, standard insurance carriers used to cap eligibility at 50 years old. But one of our great local-access carriers, Grange, just expanded their guidelines to accept homes up to 75 years old in Washington! This opens up a ton of vintage inventory for us.

The moral of the story? Insurance is incredibly file-specific right now. Loop me and your lender in early so we can protect your earnest money.

TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MARKETS UNDER SPOKANE'S AVERAGE HOME PRICE 📊🌲🏡

Right now, the average home price in Spokane sits at $474,662. But if you are looking at the entry-level market below that average, you aren't looking at just one real estate market—you are looking at two completely different stories.

If you are trying to buy or sell a home right now, you need to know these exact numbers:

🔥 The Most Competitive Tier: $275k – $300k
This price bracket is moving fast. We only have 2.1 months of inventory here. Out of 119 homes currently on the market, 56 are already pending with buyers. If a clean home hits the market here, you have to move quickly.

🐢 The Least Competitive Tier: $325k – $350k
Just a slight bump up in price changes the game completely. This bracket slows down to 3.2 months of inventory. There are 146 homes for sale, but only 46 are pending. Buyers have more breathing room, more options, and slightly more leverage here.

📈 The Big Picture View:
Overall, Spokane County has 3,313 homes for sale with 1,093 pending, putting us at an overall steady 3 months of inventory.

Why does this data matter? Because aggregate online home search sites can't tell you why one neighborhood is locked in a bidding war while a similar home a mile away has room to negotiate.

This local demand lines up perfectly with the massive infrastructure growth hitting our city this week—like Spokane Transit launching 10-minute Saturday City Line service to support Spokane being named an Official World Cup Fan Zone!

True real estate expertise means knowing the micro-data of your specific price point. Want to know exactly how much leverage you have in your neighborhood?
