Imagine yourself as a homebuyer. You are excited and motivated to begin looking at homes in your local market, so like most home buyers you hop online or head down to a local real estate office to begin your search. In either case you will probably do something very predictable. You, as a typical homebuyer, will pick two price points as in - We would like to look for homes between $200,000 and $225,000 dollars. Interestingly, even if you have been told by your lender that you are qualified to purchase a home up to $229,400 dollars, inevitably you will just round down to $225,000 or round up to $230,000. Because of this savvy sellers often use price points as a way to gain maximum exposure for their home. How? By slightly…

Western Washington housing indicators aligned "for spring market to remember"

KIRKLAND, Wash. (March 5, 2013) – Real estate brokers around Washington state agree today’s market is far different than two years ago, with one industry veteran summing it up by saying key indicators "are in perfect alignment for a spring market to remember."

On the plus side, closed sales during February jumped more than 9 percent from a year ago and median sales prices are up 13 percent according to new figures from Northwest Multiple Listing Service.

Last month’s pending sales across the 21 counties served by Northwest MLS also increased, but only slightly (1.7 percent) due in part to depleted…
