Seattle Home Owners Earn More In Equity Than Minimum Wage Workers Yearly

In Seattle — home appreciation exceeded the median household income over the past year.

• Home values in Seattle have been appreciating more than 3.5 times faster per working hour than the cities’ minimum wage workers earn.
• In Seattle, the typical homeowner is gaining $54.24 of equity in their home every hour they’re at the office. The city’s hourly minimum wage is $15.00.
• The typical U.S. homeowner is gaining $7.09 of equity in their home every working hour, $0.16 less than federal minimum wage.

The rapid pace of home value appreciation over the past year may present homeowners in Seattle with an interesting dilemma: Why work a 9-5 slog, when you can sit back and collect substantial hourly home equity “earnings” instead?…

Spring housing: 'Strongest seller's market ever'

“Information and statistics derived from Northwest Multiple Listing Service.”

• Even as more homes come on the market for this popular sales season, they're flying off fast.

Spring homebuyers are pounding the pavement at a furious pace, but the pickings are getting ever slimmer.

Northwest MLS figures for last month show a…

Are You Being Spied On During Showings?

Be careful: You and your buyer may be under surveillance when touring a property. Some sellers are using surveillance cameras inside their home to record the sight and sound as prospective buyers walk through. 

The increase in these home recordings—many from security systems that owners already have installed—are raising some concerns surrounding privacy in real estate transactions, MarketWatch reports. 

The trend has spurred what Joan Rogers, a broker with Windermere Realty Trust in Portland, Ore., calls a “Hey, be aware of this” conversation among her colleagues and counterparts. Rogers says the discussion started in her area about three years ago, “about the same time that integrated home media and security became a thing, with devices that…
