Seattle Prices climb- The facts and the truth

Facts and truth really don't have much to do with each other.
                            -William Faulkner

The truth today is that people who could buy or sell are scared because of the uncertainty in the housing market.

 ‘Will I pay too much; will I sell for too little?'  The voices in your head can rattle forever until you see the facts.

The facts are that in Seattle, housing prices in some areas actually climbed.

This points to prices stabilizing and new facts; we can see the bottom of the Seattle market. Most analysis see the bottom accruing second quarter of 2009. Then a rebound in mid 2010 because of a shortage of new construction brought on by the current financial crisis.

There will always be uncertainty, but some people have confused the facts.  A house is an investment... but more importantly it is the place we live, love and spend time with the things and people that matter to us.  That's the truth.
