But Josh. What Now?

The Fed rate cut gave us a change noteworthy enough to speak about. Prime rates dropped from a high of 8.5% to 8%. This will directly affect […]
When should you sell in a balanced market?

With the market finally balancing out after so long, here is a question I get at least weekly these days: “When should I sell my home?” My answer is not the magic bullet most would-be sellers are hoping for because it depends on your circumstances. Are you selling because you want to buy a new […]
“Josh, When is the right time to buy or sell?”

It’s not even close. The question I get most often is “when should I buy or sell?” Get out your crystal ball, Josh. You and everybody wants to know when the peaks and valleys are going to hit. OK. Here are my thoughts for this spring market. Buyers: Listen up. Buy as soon as possible. This may […]
In a difficult market, experience matters more than ever

As I write this, I am hoping that my Puyallup Valley listing finally closes today. It has been a saga over the past many weeks to the point that the buyers, sellers, and both agents (me and the buyer’s agent) are almost at the end of our ropes. We have actually agreed that if the […]

What is a Balanced Market? The common real estate industry’s definition considers the market balanced if it takes 6 months for all inventory to be bought up with no new homes coming on the market. Common yes. PNW no. We just have too many buyers than sellers. The last time we truly had a balanced market in our area was just […]

Case & Point As a follow up to my April View of the Market post, earlier this month I listed this little gem in West Seattle. It featured two separate living spaces as well as a 2-car garage w/additional parking. A big bonus for in-city living. While we painted and spruced it up, spaces like the kitchen had not […]

The where’s, when’s and how’s can feel overwhelming for […]

Should you sell as-is or update? On social media, I recently posted an article about the pros and cons of buying a home “as-is”. Here are my thoughts on the question.
