Your neighbors left money on the negotiation table. They sold too quickly, took the first offer and closed $10,000 less than they should have. Why? Personally I believe it was their agents fault. The local real estate market is hot in spots and not in others. Even with low inventory, prices in some areas are not escalating like others. I believe that if there is a ready and willing buyer and the seller and buyer can agree on price and terms a real estate transaction should be able to close. It can of course if the terms are cash, but if the terms include financing, as in the buyer needs to secure a loan to make the purchase, it just might not happen. We have that appraisal hoop to leap through. The other day I started to think about how your neighbor’s negotiations could affect your hom... 05/01/2014

Its a great time to sell!! Remind yourself of the tax advantages of closing a transaction before January. Also the deals are more plentiful for both buyers and sellers because there is less competition at this time of year. Keep in mind that interest rates are expected to rise in 2014, so now is the time to take advantage of the historic lows. So call me today. www.daryldatus.com 360-801-6373 11/23/2013

DID US NEWS & WORLD REPORT GET IT RIGHT? BREMERTON/SILVERDALE TOP 10 HOUSING MARKET September 24, 2013 by Jo Soss  Did US News & World Report get it right? Bremerton/Silverdale area predicted number one (1) on the Top 10 Housing Markets in the next 10 years.  The news article was released in June of 2009 and KCPQ reported it locally in September of 2009.  I was browsing some old articles I had written and came across this one.  I thought, so what has happened?  Is the Bremerton/Silverdale area on the rebound?  In 2009 the median home sold price was $212,500.  The US News article projected a 5.22% increase in home prices over the next 10 years.  That 5.22% increase is even a little depressing from what the area was use to during the “bubble years”.  So I pulled some data together, below ... 09/25/2013

A recent article published on Forbes.com lists 25 Cities Where Home Prices are Still Tumbling. Included in this list is our State Capital, Olympia; Tacoma, and Bremerton/Silverdale. I am feeling somewhat vindicated. I've been arguing with several area agents/brokers here in Kitsap County WA for nearly a year now as to whether or not our local real estate market has finally hit bottom. I have been the lone dissenting opinion that home prices have not fully tanked. I think we're close, but definitely not there just yet. While certainly there are isolated pockets or niche markets within Kitsap County WA that have enjoyed improved valuations over the past year or so, I think that most areas are still experiencing price drops or stagnant flatline values at best. Predicting the bottom of the ... 12/08/2012
