Latest Bidding War Results for Sellers

A FULL SERVICE REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE FOR HOME SELLERS

A harbinger of the 2021 market is tight listing inventory, low interest rates, and high buyer demand continuing to drive momentum.

Klahanie Bridge / Issaquah Fall City Road Construction Delayed

Due to unforeseen circumstances, including construction delays caused by necessary third-party utility relocations and inclement weather, the City of Sammamish's Public Works Department has determined the road opening by end of January is not feasible.

The City of Sammamish has looked at options to hasten the construction or partial openings but has determined in an abundance of caution that these options are not safe nor realistic due to weather events and fiscal constraints.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the real estate industry, and as a result, many parts of the country are experiencing what is known as a seller's market. The pandemic caused everyone to reevaluate where they're being quarantined.  Take the simple fact that a home is no longer a home, the home is now a workplace as well. It's also a school. And that really has gotten a lot of people in a position where they've decided to pull the trigger and change the condition that they live in.

"Simply put, a seller's market is a marketplace in which sellers have a competitive advantage due to pent-up buyer demand and low home…

Name your selling price!

The 2021 Real Estate market is off to fiery start! Inventory is low and homes that hit the market are selling for WAY over list price! Yesterday, I had my 1st sale of the year and as I reflect on last year with 44 closings, I know we are going to see a lot more inventory in the coming months. If you are thinking of buying or selling I would love to help! With 1% listing fees, I save my sellers a lot of $$ and I LOVE working with buyers as well. I am thankful for my clients in the past, present and future! Enjoy the weekend and Cheers to a great year ahead! Warmly, Hailey
