Royal Tudor in Broadmoor

Royal Tudor in Broadmoor

There is a powerful presence to a Tudor home ~ a royal lineage, an inherent greatness. Sited on a sprawling sun, drenched double-lot, this special home is a tribute to good taste and classical design. Bright, welcoming rooms exude refinement at every turn and open to a level patio and expansive garden. A third-floor retreat and lower level rec-room extend your space. Permitted plans available for an apartment over the existing garage. A home to make memories in!

Market Trends: Second Quarter of 2020

Market Trends: Second Quarter of 2020

Each quarter, Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty analyzes market data to examine trends and to ensure our clients better understand the real estate market. The second quarter of 2020 was framed by a very different real estate landscape as Washington’s stay-at-home order was in effect for the majority of this period. The data across these five market areas reflects fewer homes on the market year-over-year likely because of this, and while median prices and buyer demand varied more, it was a seller’s market.

IT Pick: July 2020

To my clients, family, and friends, I hope you all had a fun and safe Fourth of July weekend and continue to bask in the sunshine that Seattle has seen lately.

In this month’s IT List, I'm pleased to share my most recent listing in Broadmoor, an exclusive take on recent market trends from Realogics Sotheby's International Realty, and a heartwarming testimonial from a past client. Our market continues to thrive from a real estate perspective. If you're in the market to buy or sell, let's chat!

This classic Ralph Anderson home is a solid example of his iconic Northwest Contemporary style. Big windows draw nature inside while a gated courtyard in the front adds privacy from the street. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, stone floors, and three dramatic basalt fireplaces add drama and texture to the modern aesthetic of this home. Six gentle steps up take you to the master floor with its own den/office, and down to two guest rooms and another den. Sophisticated (easy-living), lock-and-leave luxury!

Seattle Home Prices Still Second-Fastest Rising Nationwide As Restrictions Remain

The Seattle-area market continues to thrive despite current mandates. Our area saw some of the fastest rising home prices in the nation. Home prices in Seattle in April 2020, compared to April 2019, increased by 7.3 percent. Nationwide, the increase was only 4.7 percent.

Mortgage Rates Continue to Hover Around Historic Lows

Mortgage rates hit a historic low after the Fourth of July weekend, averaging around three percent (and below, for 15-year fixed mortgages). Experts predict that if the economy continues on this trajectory, rates could go even lower.

“We both give Laura our highest possible recommendation because Laura is an excellent listener and communicator. These qualities, plus her candor and obvious market knowledge, earned our trust early on. She was highly skilled, patient, and discreet while guiding us through what was, for us, a complex, lengthy, and trying process. She brings an ideal balance between professionalism, with laser focus, while being consistently personable and pleasant to deal with. She was ALWAYS prompt and ran the extra yard in exceeding our expectations. We both feel very fortunate to have had her on our side during this process."

Market Trends: First Quarter of 2020

Market Trends: First Quarter of 2020

Each quarter, Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty analyzes market data to examine trends and to ensure our clients better understand the real estate market. In the late first quarter of 2020, the Puget Sound area, its economy, and the real estate market began experiencing the impacts of the stay-at-home order due to COVID-19. The majority of data gathered occurred before that happened, and although we’re understanding the preliminary effects of COVID-19 on real estate, we can see in these reports that it was trending positive for sellers in all four of these market areas.
