A basic beginner's explanation for our soaring home prices in King County: There are a lot more people searching for homes, and far fewer homes available for them to buy.
There just aren’t enough homes for sale.
The number of homes on the market is at a low point for records that date back to 2000, despite the big increase in population over that span.

You may think homeowners would want to cash out: The average homeowner across the metro area who sells today has owned the home for about 10 years and makes a
According to a newly released study by ATTOM Data Solutions, selling your home in the month of May will net you an average of 5.9% above estimated market value for your home.
For the study, ATTOM performed an “analysis of 14.7 million home sales from 2011 to 2017” and found the average seller premium achieved for each month of the year. Below is a breakdown by month:

I wanted to join a local team that really cares about their clients needs, and The Cascade Team does exactly that. Prior to joining The Cascade Team I had varied careers; I have been a Production Manager at Kaiser, Operations Manager at Raycap, and a District Manager at Domino’s. I would like to become the go-to Broker in the city, it is my goal to make The Cascade Team the #1 Brokerage in Spokane. I am a huge Trekkie, I once tried out for the T.V show “Beauty and The Geek” and spoke Klingon for the audition.
Kendall will be a wonderful addition to The Cascade Team and we look forward to seeing his success!

The decision to go with Shane and Anne for the sale of our beloved home of 14 years is one I'll never regret. As a team they work seamlessly to ensure all details are addressed and that the utmost care is taken with each client. Though I know they have others at any given time, Shane and Anne made me feel like I was their only one. And I might add I didn't always feel that way with past real estate transactions.

Having owned five homes (four in Spokane and one 10 acre vacant lot) and having been involved in a great number of home purchase transactions as a mortgage loan consultant (9 years) I am intimately and intuitively familiar with Spokane. I have lived in North Spokane, several locations in The Spokane Valley, Downtown and several locations in The South Hill of Spokane.
From 1978 to now I have lived in Spokane, living other places a few short years but always coming back to Spokane. This is what keeps bringing me back to Spokane: The people, places, sun, seasons, family and great familiarity.
