As many of you know, one of my specialties in real estate is working with seniors who are downsizing. Often, they are looking for guidance on where to get started because the prospect can be overwhelming. I have enjoyed working on these projects since 2008, when my dad and I began working with Emerald Heights in Redmond.

Over the years, I have assembled a fantastic team of vendors who help me provide concierge-style services for my clients with estate sales, packing, moving, painting, flooring, yard care, housekeeping, and pretty much anything else required to prepare a home for sale.

I am excited to introduce a new team member, Jackie Claessens, as our Senior Living Expert, who will assist me in growing the downsizing portion of my business. She has an impressive background working with seniors. Previously, Jackie was the marketing director for Horizon House and then at Emerald Heights, where I met her and finally, at The Watermark in downtown Bellevue. For the past five years, I have become Jackie’s go-to resource with her senior communities. She was confident that my skillset assured that her clients would be in good hands and I could be relied upon for whatever situation might arise.

Jackie and I look forward to partnering with anyone looking to downsize and we can simplify these complex situations, from beginning to end. We both maintain a “whatever it takes” attitude while having compassion and understanding for people who are maneuvering their next steps.

🌆Local Market Update - May 2024 News and tips to help you navigate the real estate market and local happenings Our local real estate market is exhibiting seasonal strength, with most areas seeing month-over-month and year-over-year

Our local real estate market is showing seasonal strength, with most areas experiencing increases in sales compared to both last month and last year. Despite rising interest rates, which can impact both buyers and sellers, the number of closed transactions has been on the rise for three consecutive months indicating that both buyers and sellers are adapting to the changing interest rate environment. 🏡

🌆𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆: Seattle saw a decrease in residential inventory last month, leading to increased competition among homebuyers for desirable properties. The median sold price of a single-family home in the city was $997,900 in April, showing a 13% increase from the previous year. Additionally, 68% of closed transactions sold at or above the listing price, highlighting the competitive nature of the market. Condo prices in Seattle also saw an increase, reaching a median of $599,000, despite a higher number of units available compared to last year.

🏙️𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲: On the Eastside, single-family home prices rose to $1,677,500 last month, marking a 16% increase compared to the previous year. A significant portion of these sales closed at or above the list price, reflecting strong buyer demand. Condo prices on the Eastside also experienced a notable increase of 17% year over year.

In this market, buyers who find a home they love will need to be ready to compete and willing to stomach rising interest rates. 📈There is some market optimism that the next four to six months will see higher levels of for-sale inventory that will have an impact on stabilizing price levels. In the meantime, prospective home and condo sellers will likely continue to encounter strong interest and offers from buyers, along with fast market times. 🌟

Whether you’re waiting on the sidelines for the perfect moment to jump into the market or have taken the plunge and are actively seeking to buy or sell, I'm here to help you navigate the spring and summer market ahead. ☀️🏘️

Over the years, you gain equity as:

✔️ You pay down you home loan
✔️ Home values rise
..and chances are you have a whole lot more of it than you realize.

The average homeowner with a mortgage has $298,000 in equity. Equity like that can make a big difference when you go to move. ✨🏡

To find out what your number is, let’s chat!

Have you received phone calls, texts, and mail from agents, developers, builders, or investors offering to buy your home or say, “we have a buyer for your home”? 👋💰

Many of my clients and friends have reached out to ask me about these offers they are receiving and whether or not they are legitimate, so I thought this would be a good time to discuss this.

There are legitimate agents who market this way, but I have found that the majority of these people are cold-calling, texting, or sending out tons of marketing material in hopes of getting a home listing, and they don’t necessarily have a "real buyer." 🧐

Builders are actively searching for properties, and while many of their offers are legitimate, their goal is to acquire land at the lowest possible cost. 🏘️ For instance, a recent situation involved a past client selling her parent's home in Kirkland. The property boasts a prime location and a spacious, level lot. My client had received tons of potential offers but, called me for help in navigating a sale. Initially she was offered $883,000 by a builder, however I was able to bring in other builders and generate multiple offers. We were able to negotiate, and that same builder upped his offer price to $1,100,000. Had the family sold to the builder directly without my help, they would have left $217,000 on the table.

Builders are also notorious for conducting feasibility studies, which are negotiated timeframes that are usually 10 to 30 days long. These studies are similar to inspections, but builders use this time window to determine their highest and best use for the property. Often, builders try to renegotiate the sale price during this feasibility window.

In my experience, it is almost always in your best interest not to sell directly to a builder or developer or do an off-market sale, but to put your home on the MLS with a good agent, where the open market will bring you the highest price and best terms. 💎✨

If you, your family, or your friends receive these notices and one of these “offers” sounds enticing, you can always contact me for help and guidance. My goal is to protect you and help you get the highest sales price with the best terms.
