People ask me all the time "How's the Market?" An important part of any answer to that question would include the percentage of homes on the market that are in a distressed situation. (Foreclosures being homes that are on the market and owned by a bank, or a short sale or pre-forclosure property which is still technically owned by an individual person.) As of January 15, 2010, in Federal Way: Active Listings For Sale: 40% distressed. Pending Home Sales: 60% distressed. Sold in the past 6 months: 44% distressed. Why is this important? First of all, buyers use the info to decide where they might look to find a good price for their purchase. Sellers use the info to help determine how to price their home to sell. Appraisers use the info to determine whether there is a trend on values moving...

The new Safety Cameras have "caught" me making a right turn on a red light!Imagine my surprise when I opened up an envelope from the Federal Way Police Department to find a "COURTESY WARNING NOTICE" complete with photographs of my "infraction".   I thought they were going to ask for a donation, but they did not.  This is a warning only but the letter lets me know that this "infraction" carries a penalty up to $250.00.  The photo's in the notice clarify to me that I did stop first, but perhaps it wasn't long enough (have you ever heard of a California Stop?).  Well, fellow Federal Way residents:  Be aware and be careful.Julie

For those of you who are looking at buying or selling in Federal Way, here is a quick look at this year's Federal Way housing market. 2009 So Far Just like the rest of the country, the Federal Way housing market has seen its fair share of depreciation in 2009.  As of November 30th, Federal Way has seen an overall depreciation of 14.21%, but not all is despair.  The silver lining comes with the fact that nearly all of this year's losses for Federal Way came in the first two months of the year.  January and February saw 9.71% and 5.38% depreciation, respectively.  Since then, the housing market in Federal Way has more or less stabilized with no single month losing or gaining more than 4.66%.  Another silver lining comes in the form of total numbers of homes sold so far this year.  As of t...

I am blessed to be living in a beautiful spot.  I took this photo the morning of the 23rd of November here in Redondo, Washington.   We are known for our rainfall, but really we should be known for our diverse weather and beauty. Redondo is a neighborhood in Federal Way Washington, 18 miles south of Seattle.  To view the fall events that are planned for this year, click here. Thanks for taking the time to check this out and have a terrific day! Julie
