Find out what your home is worth today?
Find My Dream Home!
  
 I'm just not 100% sure. Don't get me wrong, you're almost exactly I've been looking for.
I mean, who wouldn't think you're great, right?
You're big and open and suit my lifestyle perfectly.
You're clean and modern.
You don't have alot of baggage, seem like you'd be pretty easy to live with, definitely not high maintenance....
So why am I afraid to pull the trigger?
Why can't I commit?
Honestly, I think it's because I've been burned. I've put myself out there before only to be told "no" you're not good enough.
Higher bidders, big bankers and deep pocket investors have made me gun shy.
What if I ask, and the answer is "No?"
I could keep looking, hoping one will fall at my feet, but I know that's a long shot.
Sigh....you're perfect for me.
What if I ask and the answer is "No"?
But....what if I ask, and the answer is "Yes"?
I guess I'll never know until I try.
You're worth it....let's find out if we're a match!

 The nice thing about being snowed in these days, is technology still enables us to get so much done from home.
And today, most of the Seattle area is snowed in due to our first Winter Snow Storm.
I'll be sending off two market analysis reports to owners looking for current values on their property, reducing the price of a local short sale (and altering onling marketing accordingly), following up on two closings scheduled for the end of the month and have a 1:00 call with tech support for some software issues we're trying to resolve.
And when everything's buttoned up and worked out I plan to relax, grab a cup of coffee and watch the snow come down.
Enjoy!

 Automated valuation platforms such as Zillow, Corelogic and others, are increasingly being relied upon by Loan Officers counseling sellers on re-fi's, Lien holders weighing the pros and cons of granting a short sale, and sellers with a white-knuckled grip on equity which has been slowly seeping through the fingers of their clenched fists for the last 4 years.
Here is a description of the AVM model from Fannie Mae's website:
AVMs are statistically-based computer programs that use real estate information such as comparable sales, property characteristics, tax assessments, and price trends to provide an estimate of value for a specific property
On one hand, I get it.
The technology is there, the numbers are what they are, and some computer, somewhere, can calculate a "value" far more quickly than a BPO or Market Analysis from a local real estate professional experienced in the area can generate.
Yeah, but on the other hand...
Does a computer smell cat urine in all quadrants of the house? See the nicotine stains lining the walls from years of Cigarette smoke? Take into account the three vehicles (all apparently inoperable) parked in the front yard on the grass?
The list of factors which must be considered when accurately offering a current market value of a property, is far more comprehensive and frankly, more personal, than any computer could ever include.
LOCATION: More than City, State and Zip (All data for the processor), how about factors such as school boundary desirability, backing to a busy street (vs. not), being located under High Tension Power Lines?
Do the robots computers take these calculate these variables?
I know I do.
I know buyers do too.
CONDITION: Seems to be a no-brainer, but if the AVM program is comparing one home in a neighborhood to say, three others that are comparable in terms of BR # and square footage, but otherwise have no similarities, is that an accurate reflection of value?
Or is there is more to property valuation than square footage and lot size?
I think an apple and a pear might weigh the same, take up the same amount of space (even fall into the same fruit category), but they certainly are shaped differently, appeal to different tastes and are priced differently. Does the shape, smell, color and quality of a house matter to a robot computer? It does to me.
And I know it does to buyers too.
BEAUTY: Yes, I said it. Like all those shiny, sparkly, pretty people in a bar, it's the "outside" aesthetic which usually garners the most attention. I doubt an AVM makes value concessions to the "parked out" flat one acre lot vs. the house on an acre which is predominately wetlands, covered in blackberries and unusable land due to septic and well covenants...but I do.
And I know buyers do too.
I could go on and, and in fact, will gladly continue this debate if you're interested in contacting me to contine the discussion.
I'm not saying robots AVM models don't have their place in the industry. I'm just worried they are being given a bit more credence than they deserve.
And frankly....they aren't as good at it as moi.
Just sayin'
PS: If you're in the greater Seattle Area and would like a more personalized AVM based on Human assessments (do computers buy houses?) feel free to request an online analysis here. Or you're welcome to call me for a real life, personalized evaluation of your property's value anytime 425.432.5400

 Funny what we find when we clean and reorganize. I've been focusing so much these last three years on keeping up with new technology, I finally realized a few months ago that at least two of my file cabinets, (both with two drawers drawers full of "stuff")had probably only been opened twice in the last three years.
Articles, flyers, septic info, County hand-outs, builder contacts....it's all available online, or it's already saved on my hardrive. So, I went on a purging frenzy a few weeks before Christmas and filled the recycle dumpster at the office with all sorts of out-dated information and obsolete marketing pieces for systems I'll never use again.
And I came across these labels which literally, made me Laugh Out Loud!
I rarely use printed "Just Listed" cards anymore. More often I announce new listings via email and other online platforms such as Facebook, Twitter & Active Rain (to name a few).
But "back in the day" before the industry went "online", I sent out Just Listed postcards for every single new listing. The problem was, when the market was hot, the listing usually sold before I got the cards back from the printer.
Those were the days my friend....
It was a good problem to have.
Rather than throw the cards out, we came up with these labels to put on them before mailing.
Smart huh?
At some point I obviously printed these in excess and then....well, we all know what happened next.
The sticky note is the best part of the whole thing "These are good to keep for when a listing sells too fast"...
Those were the days my friend....
Indeed!

 This Bank owned home now has new owners thanks to our Buyer Specialist Patty Worgan and a great Lending & Escrow team.
Buying a HUD home is a completely different process than any other real estate transaction....complete with several hoops the buyer's have to jump through, but in the long run.....it's worth it!
This Maple Valley home, is over 2800 square feet, has a HUGE attached shop and is on 2+ acres.
It sold for $301,000 (and that price included some repairs needed).
In order to buy a HUD home, you must work with a HUD approved Real Estate Broker. It's also wise to work with both a Lender and a Broker who are familiar with the HUD process and have closed HUD sales.
Congrats Rory & Suzan, you got a GREAT deal!

How did the Renton, WA 98056 Real Estate Market fair in 2011?
The good news is, more than 60% of all closed sales in 2011 were neither Short sales nor Bank owned listings. Definitely a positive sign!
Here's a Market Snapshot of activity:
Regular sales (those which are neither Short sale nor Bank Owned) numbered 201 with an average list price of $414,488. The highest priced sale was 2.4M and the lowest priced "Regular" sale was $70,000.
50 Short Sale Listings (Single Family) closed in 2011 with an average sales price of $275,224. The average days on market for these listings was 77 days.
When sellers opt to either not pursue a short sale, or are unsucessful negotiating with their bank, the next step is foreclosure.
In 2011, 73 single family REO (Bank/Asset owned) listings sold with an average price of $289,197. The highest priced listing, interestingly enough sold for 1.75 Million (Lk Washington Waterfront)
Things are looking up for the greater Seattle Market as consumer confidence is returning and rates remain incredibly low.
