There is hope for the future of Real Estate

January is off to a great start in the Seattle area for Real Estate Activity. My office is busy, many of us are working very long hours, with listings, showings, offers, inspections and clients moving in their new homes. This is the beginning of what I think will be a year of stabilization and the beginning of recovery for our market. Multiple offers have re-surfaced and homes that were on the market for months were suddenly snatched up. The hope of spring is in the air in Seattle, the bulbs peeking their heads through the soil and the hummingbirds looking for nectar in our feeders is a great and welcome sign. It will be enchanced this year by consumer confidence and many people getting back to work and business and that includes getting the country back to home ownership.

There is never a shortage of negative press, but be careful in believing something just because it is in print.  We are not out of the woods, but I think we may be able to catch a glimpse of seeing the trees through the forest. Have a great week!
