real estate: Puyallup November Real Estate Market Update
- 11/19/08 08:20 AM
Market ActivityOne positive market trend continued for the month of October - listing inventory decreased from 1087 in September, to 1046 by the end of October. Inventory reduction is one of the keys to our housing market recovery. The number of homes sold in October fell by 38% to 83, from 133 in September. The state of the economy and the jobs outlook continue to press down on the housing market. Ever the optimist though, homes are still being bought and sold in this market - it has not ceased up, but just needs a bit of grease. Realtor associations are working with state and federal legislators to find

real estate: Windermere.com, Renovated
- 11/19/08 08:04 AM
On Tuesday, November 18th, Windermere will throw the switch on a brand new website, and give away $1,000 to a lucky visitor. Over the course of the past year, Windermere Services made a significant investment on consumer research and usability studies. They evaluated how users came to the website, how they began their search, how they continued through to detail pages and onto agent web sites. Ultimately we learned two fundamentals: It's all about photos. Lots and lots of large, quality photos are what people always look for and come back to. Keep it simple. Create one simple, fast and

real estate: Puyallup October Real Estate Market Update
- 10/29/08 02:48 AM
Current Price TrendsSeptember statistics released by the NWMLS show a significant drop in the median home price. The median home price for Pierce County ended September at $250k - representing another 11% drop in year-to-date appreciation. I believe that this drop represents a large sell-off of homes in the lower price spectrum, as opposed to a drop in prices throughout the market. The rise in number of sales this month could support either theory - regardless, reducing standing inventory is good for all sellers. Read on...

real estate: Puyallup September Real Estate Market Update
- 09/15/08 11:39 AM
August statistics just released by the NWMLS show another modest increase in the median home price. The median home price for Puyallup ended August at $266k - still, a 10% drop in year-to-date appreciation. Today's news in the financial market - namely Lehman Brothers going bankrupt, Merrill Lynch being sold to Bank of America, and the possible restructure of AIG - will likely cause mortgage banks to further reassess risk. What this means is less money to lend to fewer people; less money to fewer people will mean fewer homes selling and the continued erosion of equity in Puyallup real estate. Read on...
