In an unusual year, the real estate market has largely been a beacon of positivity. Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty (RSIR) takes a look at these five market areas each quarter to assess where our market has been and prepare for where it’s headed next. And while activity seemed to come to a complete halt for a brief moment in the second quarter, the buyers quickly got off the bench—to take advantage of low-interest rates, to invest in homes with bigger spaces or larger yards as working from home or home school became priorities. And even as the temperatures began to drop this September, the market remained hot in Q3 with appreciating home prices, low inventory, and buyers eager to find the right opportunity.
IT LIST: October 2020
Welcome to October! This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love putting up spooky décor, and embracing the changing colors and scenery. Temperatures in our area are beginning to drop, but Seattle has seen no sign of a slowdown in our real estate market. In this month’s IT List, I'm pleased to share some exciting updates on some of my latest listings: a new condo in Madison Park, lovely one-level home in Broadmoor, a few homes on their way to closing, and a significant sale I assisted my buyers with. I also spotlight the latest addition to Realogics Sotheby's, the latest market trends in our area, and a heartwarming testimonial from a recent client.
One-Level Luxury in Broadmoor
Sited on one of Broadmoor's most sought after streets, Shore Avenue! This special home offers easy, one-level living, big vaulted ceilings and low maintenance patios in the front and the back. The kitchen and dining area are open to the sunken living room which has walls of windows that bring the outdoors inside. In addition to the master suite (with a laundry setup), there is another en-suite bedroom, an office and a powder room on the main level. Perfect for those seeking a lock and leave home!
Pending | Offered at $2,495,000
High-Rise Living in Madison Park
The most sought-after floorplan in the Washington Park Tower! The "B" homes are coveted for their ever-changing views: stem to stern one-of-a-kind Mt. Rainier to Mt. Baker, Blue Angels, Christmas ships, twinkling Bellevue lights and blushing sunrises! This home has been freshly painted and is ready for the new buyer's personal signature. Two secure parking spots, on-site manager, concierge, guest parking, outdoor pool and dock. There is nothing out there that competes with this Madison Park location!

IT LIST: September 2020
In this month’s IT List, I'm pleased to share some exciting updates on some of my latest listings: pending in under a week on a fairy-tale home in Broadmoor, and a compelling new price on an eclectic Madison Park condo. I also spotlight a sought-after winery on Whidbey Island, dive in to the most recent market trends, a motivational testimonial from a previous client, and a sneak peek of the latest addition to Realogics Sotheby's.
In this month’s IT List, I'm pleased to share two newly listed homes: an Expansive Tudor on Shenandoah Drive with a sprawling sunny double lot and a Georgian Colonial classic on Capitol Hill with an unbeatable location, an interesting report on Seattle-area renters, the latest market trends in Seattle, an inside look at the latest edition of RESIDE Magazine, and inspiring sentiments from a past client.
Storybook Magic in Broadmoor
Striking the perfect note of, (dare I say) charming and unpretentious comfort amid the cacophony of boxy, ultra-hip design that seems to be springing up everywhere. This little gem is a throwback - in a very good way! Who knew that a simple coved ceiling and the glories of a beautiful outlook could be so utterly seductive? Priced to sell on one of the most sought-after streets in Broadmoor. Remodel or update, or start over and build your dream. At this price, for this location, both are great options!
