Welcome to The Cascade Team Manu Vij. Manu is a new agent who just recently passed his Washington State Broker’s exam. Not letting being new stand in the way however, I have already been working with Manu as he has several buyers. Manu submitted an offer for a client on a $500,000+ home on his second day and has another buyer client that he is working with as well. Having met Manu and seen firsthand how well he takes to his new profession I’m sure that he’s going to be in the running for the 2013 “Rookie Of The Year” award.

While this means that your listed property will be viewed by more prospective customers, it also means that many other properties will also be showcased, making for a much more competitive market. While sales in the existing home market went up nine percent in January 2013, the market has not fully recovered from the 2008 housing crash. This means that mortgage credit is still tight, which may prevent some prospective buyers from qualifying for a home loan. In such a competitive market, establishing a realistic selling price for your home is a critical component of a…

With the U.S. housing market finally picking back up, the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) conducted a large study to pinpoint how recession may have influenced consumers' lifestyle preferences and home wish lists.  Released this month, the survey found that Americans desire:

  • Energy Star appliances above all else
  • energy-efficient laundry rooms
  • high-end amenities such as kitchens with double sinks, French doors, and whole-house technology

More and more U.S. housing markets starting to tilt in sellers’ favors. 

For the average home in the U.S., the gap between the listing price and closing price is narrowing with sellers able to get more than 98 percent of their home’s listing price back. Also, the median days a home is spending on the market also is falling, dropping to 44 days nationwide in 2012 — a 23 percent decline from 2011, according to a report. 

“A limited inventory of homes on the market, combined with the extremely low cost of mortgage financing, has resulted in homes selling above asking price in many western markets, boosting the…

Once you've made an offer on a home and all contingencies have been met by both parties, closing on the property becomes final. Closing costs are generally 4% of your loan amount, but this can vary. To help you get a sense of what's left to be done, here are 10 steps involved in closing the deal:

  1. Draw up a purchase offer with detailed contingencies in place
  2. Submit your deposit, also known as "earnest money"
  3. Seller accepts the deal or counteroffers with contingencies and price changes of their own
  4. Apply for your loan if you aren't already pre-approved
  5. Get the house…
