JUST SOLD! Such a wonderful journey with my amazing, so very kind Seller to entrust me to take on selling her parent's sweet acreage home. It meant so much to her and she wanted to pay homage to her parents each step of the way. We had so many wonderful and endearing conversations about her earlier growing up days in Burien then fast forward to her parent's building process after their retirement. Her parents bought the acreage in the 80's and then lived in their RV on the property watching the building process unfold to this adorable 1995 Gem. What a pleasure to be a small part of the journey, deliver an All Cash Offer and become new friends! Happy Day - Celebrate!

A Week In Review -

Call me if I can help you navigate this real estate market and achieve a successful outcome @ 253-620-0028 🏡

FED RAISES RATES...The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate by 0.25% to 3.75%–4.00%, its first increase in three years. The move was widely expected, but the possibility of another hike this year kept pressure on borrowing costs.

Mortgage rates felt that pressure quickly. The average 30-year fixed rate jumped from 6.76% to 6.95%, the highest since January 2025, making monthly payments more expensive for buyers already navigating elevated home prices.

Housing still offered buyers some leverage. Inventory remained elevated, asking prices stayed below last year's level, and homes sold faster than a year ago, suggesting motivated buyers are still finding opportunities despite higher rates.

The week ended with the Dow down 1.6%, to 52,573; the S&P 500 down 0.8%, to 7,657; and the Nasdaq down 0.7%, to 26,333.

The 10-year Treasury yield reached 5% Friday, adding pressure to mortgage rates. Until longer-term yields ease, financing costs are likely to remain one of the biggest hurdles facing buyers this fall.
