There is no doubt that a real estate shift is happening and the once fiery hot real estate market of 2018 is starting to cool. So what has changed?
Did local economics and job security change?
Were home prices increasing to quickly?
Did the financial markets impact buying power?
Before answering the question Will the Market Place Favor Buyers in 2019? let's look at a few key indicators.
To few available homes for sale gives sellers the advantage and to many homes available transfer advantage to the buyers. Since March 2018, housing inventory has skyrocketed.
We are pleased to announce the first of two new series coming to social media and the monthly newsletters, Home Maintenance Minute. As active listing and selling brokers and having attended 100's of home inspections, we have a vast knowledge of what home inspectors and appraisers look for and "call out" and we want to share that knowledge with you.
In Episode 1, we cover a residential home furnace filter, reasons to change it, and how the filter can influence home inspections. If you remember, this year Snohomish County experienced the worst smoke from west coast's and Canadian wildfires.
Tune into this short video and see for yourself and thanks for watching!!

Snohomish County housing inventory has increased 15.75% in July and is on pace with 2016 levels. Which means more homes for sale, more competition to sell a home, and ever higher important to price accordingly if selling a property.
My latest home for sale is located in the Meadow Park neighborhood in north Marysville, just off 132nd. For its size and price it has a lot to offer: featuring a 3 bed floorplan with the master on the opposite end of the home, 2 full baths and a garage which is uncommon for this neighborhood, and one of the larger lots. Don't miss an opportunity to be near schools, shopping, and arterials for easy commuting.
