Trends & Market Updates Auburn, Washington - 09/11/09 07:20 PM
The news media provides an overall look at what the real estate market is doing coast to coast. If you regularly read the local Sunday papers, you may even get a feel for what's selling in various counties or even in your local community.
Graphs bring that information down in a visual, manageable method, making it a bit easier to figure out what's really going on.
The graphs here are for the Auburn, Algona & Pacific areas of King County, known by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service as Area 310. At the time we look at your home's individual value, however, this information … (0 comments)

When Was the Last Time YOU Moved? - 09/11/09 03:25 PM
As agents, I think we sometimes forget the actual pain of buying a home ... and in selling one. It's easy to get caught up in the daily complexities we see from our clients, but until we face them firsthand, it's so easy to forget. I'm not talking about investment properties, I'm talking about the pain and emotional rollercoaster of finding a dream house, trying to get a mortgage that makes sense, going through inspections on both sides, packing up one's stuff, and then actually putting possessions on a moving truck and unpacking it on the other end. Trying to get … (5 comments)

There's a certain peacefulness about owning a home - 09/10/09 03:36 PM
I just came back in the house and to my home office desk. The weather is gorgeous -- clear blue sky and the garden just called for a quick walk through. Picked a few dahlias and stuff to put in a vase on my desk.
Such peacefulness.
Yes, I know that owning a home is tremendous commitment. It's hard, daggone it! Like many of you, we're close to being upside down on our house. We bought right in the middle of the 2005 upswing of prices. Four plus years later, we're back to where we started.
At least once a week … (4 comments)

Go Team! - 09/09/09 05:27 PM
The start of the school year always signals the start of a new business year for me. It's supposed to mean that playtime is over for a while and it's time to get to it! I know most folks think of January as the first ... but for me, somehow it always seems to get fired up around the 1st of September. I can somehow stick my backside to my desk a bit better when the leaves start to turn and it's raining.
Our office has a brief hiatus from office meetings in August, so at least for me, today … (2 comments)

The Ocean was Heavenly! -- How far can you walk? - 09/08/09 08:14 PM
Hubby and I spent the week before last at Ocean Shores. It was Heavenly! Truly. A much needed stress break, although far too short, as vacations often are. I think we need to adopt the "holiday" attitude in Europe -- you know six weeks a year! (course I don't know what I'd do with myself with that much time off!)
The weather was perfect -- sunny with a bit of a breeze, which was perfect for kite flying. The pelicans and gulls amused us several times a day with their antics. And the deer! They walked right up the beach … (9 comments)

It's time for scones! -- and other fun things to do at the Puyallup Fair! - 09/05/09 03:42 PM
Visiting the Western Washington State Fair in Puyallup is a yearly tradition in my household. What can I say? ... I love looking over the pen at the massive momma sow with her bazillion piglets! Must be a frustrated farmer in here somewhere.
The fair starts next Friday, the 11th and runs through the 27th, so I wanted to get the schedule out to you right away. After all, maybe you really want to go to the Rodeo. I know my son loves it!
Have fun! Get in line for scones, but don't eat too many fair burgers & fried Twinkies this year; after … (3 comments)
