2022 started out the year with both historically low interest rates and record low inventory.  This created a very hot (seller’s) market across the NWMLS and the Greater Seattle condo market.  For example, 2021 ended with the Freddie Mac 30 year fixed rate of 3.05% and NWMLS had 0.40 months of housing inventory.  In comparison, at the end of 2022, Freddie Mac 30 year interest rate was 6.42% and inventory was at 2.09 months.  Thus the real estate market changed drastically over the course of the year.  Nevertheless, the condo market had modest increases at year end.  Across the NMWLS, condo prices were up 1.15% in December 2022 compared to December 2021.  In addition, for the year, 2022 median prices finished above the previous year.Looking at the Seattle condo market, where the vast maj...

It's no secret: the greater Seattle area is a vegan paradise!  A quick Google search for "Most vegan cities in the US", and you'll see Seattle in the top 5 on a variety of sites. Most vegan blogs will list off the heavy hitters, usually with lines out the door on weekends: Wayward vegan cafe, Plum Bistro, and of course, the all vegan grocery store, Vegan Haven.  These are all amazing, showstopping restaurants that are worth a visit during your Pacific Northwest tenure. The purpose of this blog, however, is to showcase some of our favorite places that don't always get the spotlight on other vegan blogs. If you're new to the area, or just looking to try some new places out, here are some great places! Blossom Vegetarian (Renton)Zen Buddhist Nun Hue Phan mastered recipes mimicking meat & c...

Seattle is the land of waterfront for all.  I am biased to a life filled with water views, beaches, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, water skiing, and swimming. As a Chevron brat, I grew up on the Gulf Coast in Pascagoula, Mississippi and had an incredible beach house that my parents built in nearby Gulf Shores, Alabama.  I also lived in the San Francisco Bay area and spent many teen-aged summers in Santa Cruz. I had a waterfront home in Lake Oswego, Oregon and spent many hours doing bridge walks around Portland’s Willamette River. I currently live in a floating home in Seattle. In short, I am a water baby. If you don’t love the water and want more access to it, then don’t bother reading the rest of this.  In Seattle, there are endless bodies of water and a ton of access points rangin...

Fourth of July On Lake Union is always a special Seattle treat! Today is the last day of June and I find that the good weather has brought out the boats!  My floating home is ROCKING!  My son and I swam in the lake today, too!  Summers in Seattle are about as good as you can get and if you happen to live on one of our bodies of water then the season is even better. Lucky for you, it isn't that difficult to find a home on the water in Seattle.  Seattle waterfront homes come in many shapes and sizes and finding your perfect match will depend on your budget. Currently you an look in Madison Park and Washington Park and spend almost $13M for  Lake Washington waterfront home or you can spend less than $200,000 for a floating on water residence in Lake Union. I personally like the new constru...

The plight of the millennial is a much belabored topic that runs the gamut from our expensive taste in breakfast foods, our mountains of student loan debt, to our fate of being stuck renting for the entirety of our tech-obsessed lives. If we manage to fulfill the "American Dream," our rationale is ridiculed by generations before: we're after a yard for our dogs, not extra bedrooms.While my lifestyle has been defined by some of the cliched qualities of millennials (increased expectations from employers, an inclination to move around often, never without my iPhone or my dog), there's one aspect I'd like to push back on: the idea that home ownership is out of reach for our generation. This was an idea I bought into until recently, before I decided to do some research, educate myself, and s...

Waterfront Landings Condos For Sale at Seattle’s downtown waterfront: Earlier this year, Molly Cartwright and I competed against at least two other brokers for one of the fourth floor Puget Sound view units at the 1900 Alaskan Way building of the Waterfront Landings condominium complex. We worked extremely hard on making sure that we were able to get the seller the greatest return on their investment and as a result we were able to provide a record setting sale for Waterfront Landings Condominiums overall! Other brokers had suggested extensive remodels. We made recommendations which ended up saving the seller tens of thousands of dollars in unnecesary improvements, but also enabled the unit to sell during the hot selling season.  Had the seller taken the other advice he received during ...
