seattle rentals: Rental Market Trends: Luxury Rentals-- They're just not that into you! - 02/21/09 02:20 PM
Sometimes I feel like counseling my clients with higher-end homes is like counseling my single girlfriends in their late 30s.
Her: I have a great job (Viking stove).
Me: Yes, I know you have a great job (Viking stove).
Her: Do you have any idea how much I spent on my new new blonde highlights (radiant heat floors)?
Me: Your highlights (radiant heat floors) are very warm and inviting... and I know how much you love them, but suddenly every single gal (new property on the rental market) has gorgeous blonde highlights (radiant heat floors).
Her: I'm the total package! (My house would go for $1.3m … (1 comments)

seattle rentals: SERIAL BLOG: New Construction Rentals-- Keeping that "NEW HOUSE" Smell - 02/16/09 11:43 PM
What should we be thinking about with new construction on the rental market? Of course, it all depends on the end game. My brother and his wife are looking to gobble up some new construction SFHs at about $100k a piece that are wilting on the sales market in suburban Houston. (Sigh, the Seattle construction cost index cannot conceive of building even a small garden shed for $100k...) They want to buy and hold, so their considerations are far different than the builder who wants to wait out "today's market challenges" (my go-to euphemism) for a year or two and then … (0 comments)

seattle rentals: REBar Camp in Seattle - 02/13/09 10:34 PM
Whoa. I spent all day at REBar Camp in Seattle. What an informative day! It was all about real estate marketing and maximizing web 2.0.
First of all, the whole thing appealed to the Organizational Psychologist in me (I did get a Masters degree in the subject, afterall). The format was very self-organizing, much like the "Open Space" meeting format. Find more information about Open Space meeting here...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBn-OVHG2v8 The day just sort of evolved based on what was important and pertinent to people. It was really cool because people of varying understanding about the tech side of real estate marketing (and … (3 comments)

seattle rentals: Seattle Rental Market Trends for February 2009 - 02/11/09 10:12 AM
A good portion of my day is spent researching rental trends and then being out and about giving people opinions about a fair rental price for their property. The consumers—and real estate sales agents-- I speak with are split almost 50/50 in feeling like the current sales market applies to the rental market in terms of lower prices and the converse that the depressed sales market correlates well to higher rental prices. So, who’s right? Well, it’s not so simple. (You were probably afraid that would be the answer…) And since it changes so frequently, I’ll be updating you on what … (0 comments)

seattle rentals: The Accidental Landlord: Help for Last Year’s Home Sellers Who Have Become This Year’s Landlords - 01/27/09 05:24 PM
Most people prepare well for their career either through education or apprenticeship. Others find their career path evolves as they assume new responsibilities on their way up the ranks. Very few wake one day to find that they are Chairman of the Board, Director of Marketing and Sales, Labor Relations Manager and Janitor of their very own company worth several hundred thousand dollars; also known as being a residential landlord.
Throughout the Puget Sound and across the nation, the current housing market conditions are creating a new career called, "The Accidental Landlord". The Accidental Landlord is a savvy homeowner who has … (4 comments)
