The lack of available condominiums in downtown Seattle continues, especially at affordable price points. Currently, there are just 7 resale homes listed for sale on the NWMLS priced below $700,000, which is now the new median home price for resales after increasing a staggering 19% in November 2017 compared to the prior year. Though market conditions may seem daunting to potential buyers, market pundits say unit reservations and presales can offer much needed relief for those willing to plan ahead.

Bellevue has recently made headlines as "Seattle's beautiful little sister on the Eastside." According to a recent Mansion Global article, "Once a sleepy suburb, Bellevue has come into its own with a vibrant business community and world-class shopping and restaurants.The rate of appreciation for homes on the east side of Lake Washington has outpaced Seattle over the past few years. Locals attribute that to less traffic than the city, larger lot sizes, waterfront parks, the school district and a forward-thinking, collaborative local government.”

"Working with Laura Halliday was a pleasure from the beginning of our process to the end. Our first impressions of Laura were that she is honest, direct and very hardworking. We were nervous about being a buyer in the current market environment. There was little inventory and many buyers looking in the same neighborhood as us and in our price range. We put ourselves in Laura’s capable hands and began the process of finding a home. The first time Laura took us looking at homes it became apparent that she knows everyone in the neighborhood we were looking in and everyone knows her. It was also clear to us that Laura is very well respected – we always felt a sense of confidence having her on our side. We looked at many properties and made several offers on listed properties with stiff competition. During this time Laura always remained positive, telling us not to worry, that our home was out there. Laura called us one day with a private listing she wanted us to look at. We looked at the house 2 days later and within 24 hours had mutual acceptance. We could not believe our good fortune. Within 4 months of looking, we were the owners of what we can only describe as our PERFECT home and the credit goes to Laura. We laughed that we did not know who was happier – Laura or us! She is simply fantastic."
