Now is a great time to live, work and invest in the Pacific Northwest.

Here is a glimpse of what is happening in our local real estate market this spring and why it is projected to be one of the best markets in years:

· The number of active listings remains at the lowest level in over a decade in some areas. This is causing high buyer demand and the possibility of offers being submitted at or above asking price.

· Aggressive multiple offers are being reported on well priced homes throughout the Puget Sound region.

· An increase in builder confidence equals an increase in land sale closings and permit applications.

· Even with rising home prices, the housing affordability index is expected to stay very favorable; possibly the third best on record according to national forecasts.

· Sellers who have been contemplating a move are recognizing the backlog of demand for inventory is high thus making it a great time to maximize return on investment. Now is a great time to list!

Please give us a call if you are thinking about buying or selling. One of our Brokers would love the opportunity to meet with you to discuss your real estate goals!
