seattle: Puget sound investors are coming back in to the Real Estate market to buy investment homes.
- 02/23/11 05:06 PM
That's right. Smart investment money is starting to come off the sidelines as those investors recognize the value in Puget Sound real estate. Prices have adjusted to value levels, and in some cases, way below value levels. That brings the folks who have been sitting on the bench into the game. And that is good news because it helps to shape the perception of others. Of course it's always about location as location proves value. A quality product in a quality location at a value price. That's the shape of the current market. Should you be buying right now in our … (0 comments)
seattle: Recent home prices with some Seattle, Washington region suprises.
- 02/22/11 03:46 AM
No news can sometimes be good news. According to the December Home Price Index, recently released by analytic firm CoreLogic, "2010 shows home prices stabilized with the average annual HPI index showing no change relative to 2009." Month over month, however, home prices were still down in December, with prices declining by 5.46 percent from November. This was the fifth straight month of declines. Home prices were also down in some unexpected areas. While declines in home values were expected in previous boom areas, such as California and Florida, declines have now been surfacing in some new, unlikely cities. A recent … (0 comments)
seattle: 30 year fixed mortgage rates are falling in the Seattle Mortgage Marketplace again.
- 01/31/11 12:23 PM
Mortgage rates are again falling on the 30 year fixed due to the issues developing in Egypt. The Egypt protests have caused a flight to safety and investors are buying Bonds for protection. This have caused rates to fall back from the near 5% levels to around 4.625% (4.703 APR). We hit our mortgage lows back in Octoboer 2010 and they have steadily and slowly climbed back to 5% and hit 5% around January 21, 2011, but that has again reversed and todays rates look much better. These rates are as of closing prices on January 31, 2011. Sincerely, Jason Schweiger … (0 comments)

1. What are the communication skills and personal qualities a person needs to be a successful Real Estate Agent? Answer- I believe communication is very important. You must be able to communicate and make sure your client understands everything about the transaction. Personal qualities are different for every client, but I think one needs to be enjoyable (because you will spend a lot of time with them), business smart (getting them the best deal), and a problem solver (problems always arise in Real Estate). 2. Should one be … (1 comments)
