It Pick: February 2020

February is here, and 2020 is off to a phenomenal start. I'm pleased to announce that both my Skinner Mansion and Capitol Hill Modern listings are now pending!

In this month's It List, I also feature the most recent market statistics for Seattle, some insightful news on millennial home buying, and local happenings around the Sound.

My “It Pick” for February highlights an in-depth report by one of the Seattle area's top appraisers, Alan Pope. Alan is a member of the Platinum Group, along with myself and 20 (or so) of the top realtors in the greater Seattle area. Alan is my go-to appraiser, and honestly the only one I am aware of that actually tours active listings—so when he gives a valued opinion, he can speak to the comparable sales as he has been in them. One-of-a-kind really, you won't want to miss out!

A killer master with vaulted ceilings, fabulous bathroom, and large walk-in dressing room. Did I mention the intimate and private gardens? Past perfected!
Seattle Residential Prices Accelerate Out Of Their Slow-Growth Funk

Seattle residential prices have since outperformed October's optimistic prediction, with the index having already reached 3.3-percent year-over-year growth in November.

On average, millennials tend to be the youngest demographic that purchase homes. One self-made millionaire shares why it's one of the biggest mistakes a young adult could make.

"During our first encounter, Laura was kind, patient and confident. I had heard how dedicated Laura had been with my son and his family. Laura made the impossible happen for us."
2020 Appraisal Report

Since 1974, Alan Pope has been a top appraiser in King County, Washington. Not only is he a certified appraiser and consultant, he is also a certified relocation professional and has extensive experience in the appraisal process. During our Platinum Group Meeting earlier this month, Alan provided a wonderful summary of the real estate market in 2019.

After three consecutive months of negative year-over-year home prices in Seattle, August 2019 displayed a positive trend for Seattle, with a 0.7 percent increase. Other markets like New York and Los Angeles, also saw year-over-year growth around one percent. As residential resale prices and inventory remains stable in our market, experts are quick to note that a booming stock market and historically low interest rates create a perfect opportunity for buyers to jump in the market.

Third quarter market trends are now available! Seattle inventory reports 2.3 months of supply, which is nearly identical to Q3-2018. Homes are selling at a relatively steady pace, averaging just one month after being listed on the market. If you compare that to two years ago, single-family residences were sold in an average of two weeks. As temperatures start to drop, buyers have a bit more breathing room and more time to enjoy these favorable market conditions.

“I could not have been more thrilled with the job Laura Halliday did selling my home on north Capitol Hill. I took her advice and priced it according to market conditions, and after a couple of weeks, I received a full price offer and it closed at full price too. Laura shielded me from the negotiations that frequently go on during these deals and there was never one time when I texted or called that she did not respond immediately. I felt very well taken care of in what can be a stressful process.”
