Its March!  We are 10 days in to this transitional Month. As the weather folklore says:  Comes in Like a lion and out like a Lamb.  The same goes for most things in our world – End of the 1st Quarter, March Madness, Interest Rates & Stock Market swings.  With all of the transitions happening uncertainty tags along; but,  I am very certain of with the end of Winter nearing and beautiful Spring around the corner:

So many certainties that out weigh the news and the talk of recession.  With all of our major companies that are “dinosaurs” in the PNW – our economy and job market is solid.  Boeing is doing great, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, BioTech Companies, and Rocket/Space Companies are big business here.  If that dreaded Recession appears – we (the PNW) will be one of the last ones to feel it and one of the first to recover.  I believe this!

Real Estate is Strong.  YES! people are buying houses, people are selling houses.  YES – numbers are down from last year – WHY?  it was a frenzy and interests rates were still LOW and people were buying like crazy.   So, now we are in a more normalized market, Buyers have time to look and ponder on their decision; Negotiating is back, Sellers need to prepare their homes to be “Market Ready”.  Houses are still Selling!

Yes, interest rates are causing a pause and buyers are really focused on what they want to spend their money on.

Things that I see help get houses sold (Market Ready):

If you want more information on getting your home ready for market – reach out – I would love to help.With March being a Transitioning Month – I am excited about the possibilities!  Wait until you see what I have been working on all Winter!  I will have something for many different budgets to ponder!

OH! One More Thing:

I am putting together and will host my first Real Estate Readiness Discussion in person by mid April!  Be on the look out for the Eventbrite!

With Love & Gratitude
