Here is the North Olympia WA real estate market update for September 2015. North Olympia real estate market snapshot.  As fall approaches, the market is still going strong.  These market stats are not SCARY at all! All the numbers look great for the North Olympia area! Sales Prices are up. Number of home sales is up. Inventory numbers have improved.  Between the buyer activity and the fewer listings on the market, this has pushed North Olympia into a strong seller's market. Number of listings has improved with fewer homes on the market, leaving buyers with fewer choices and sellers with less competition. What does all this mean? In a nutshell, the market has improved and is still improving for sellers, who are able to sell their home and in many cases, seeing a profit.Buyers should be p...

Here is the North Olympia WA current real estate market update as of January 2014 (area 447 on the map below). North Olympia beckons home-dwellers who are inspired by vintage homes, some of which are on the Historic Registry.  This area includes the Capitol area, downtown Olympia and East Olympia hill.  Homes in this area range from the majestic homes of Olympia's original pioneers to the more modest homes built for the pioneering sawmill and port workers.  Some homes offer water and Capitol views, and many residents enjoy being able to walk to the Capitol, downtown Olympia and the waterfront.  Many residents in this area are in the Olympia School District and North Thurston School District.       MARKET SNAPSHOT: Olympia (Area 447) This Year Last Year + / - / = Average Sales Price in 2...

The Olympia Farmer’s Market is a great way to spend a sunny afternoon and support local Olympia vendors and artisans. You’ll find everything from farm-fresh produce, flowers and plants to steel artwork, fabric and paper textiles, hand-made soaps, pottery, seafood, meat, and everything else in between!  You can also get your palm read (I did that and was amazed and impressed!).       You can enjoy a snack or a meal at one of the food shacks, and in the summer, enjoy live music.   There are many events that happen at the Olympia Farmer’s Market.  For the fall, September is the local tomato festival at the market.  October celebrates the fall festival and a Halloween costume contest.  November will host a Chihuly Glass Pumpkin Patch you won’t want to miss.    The Olympia Farmer’s Market is...

  Olympia! There is certainly plenty to see and do in beautiful Downtown Olympia. Let's focus on the Capitol and all the splendor of the buildings and grounds. There is a formidable statue you will see as you head down the main driveway toward the Capitol. It is titled Winged Victory. It is a World War I monument, depicting the Goddess of War standing watch behind a sailor, marine, soldier and nurse. What a magnificent reminder to honor the lives of those who have served our country! If you are interested in Olympia Homes for Sale, you will discover variety and views in this eclectic city.

Singing Trees and Sweet Holiday Housing Options in Olympia WA Downtown Olympia was overflowing with holiday cheer this afternoon. The Olympia Downtown Association officially welcomed the holiday season with its Downtown for the Holidays celebration. Horse drawn wagon rides and photo-ops with Santa set the tone for the day and put everyone in the holiday spirit. Around 3:00 people began hustling to stake out their spot along Capitol Way to watch the Holiday Parade. After the Capital High marching band completed its turn in front of Sylvester Park, the crowds scattered and made their way inside to escape the cold. My family and I headed inside to the Olympia Hotel ballroom to check out the Gingerbread Holiday Cottages Competition put on by Habitat for Humanity. Talk about some sweet holid...
