Best Cities For Home Sellers

“…Seattle has experienced similar construction rate cuts. The city went through its own bust in 2002 and 2003, as the result of mass overbuilding. Since homes take a few years to finish, when construction rates plummet, as they did in Seattle from 2003-2005, it takes years before those adjustments are felt. By 2006, Seattle had the lowest vacancy rate in the country, and wasn’t as prone to the price adjustments felt elsewhere, making it our 10th best sellers market today.

While job growth, new construction and vacancy rates and access to credit are important barometers, the bottom line is this: When there are more buyers chasing property than sellers looking to unload, that means a relatively quicker sale, which in this market is the best that can be expected, even if it’s a small or flat price gain.” - Matt Woolsey, Forbes.com

• The 80/20 Rule Of Foreclosures in America January 2008

  Listen to the national media none of the time, listen to the local media part of the time and listen to your neighborhood realtor all of the time.  I continue to tell all of my clients in the Fairwood, Renton, Kent, Bellevue and Greater Eastside areas that our real estate is in a different game.  We are not in the same market as the rest of the nation.  80% of the foreclosures came from 20% of the states in January.  Our foreclosure rates, although up, are lower than most of the nation.

• Foreclosures rise in Seattle area

  “…overall this area has a strong economy; therefore we will not see any skyrocketing foreclosure rates like other parts of the country that are trapped in the foreclosure crisis.”

I told you so. The more you listen to me, the more you hear the truth. See what Forbes Magazine is reporting about us in the article below.
