The new year is off to a strong and active start in our local real estate market. Buyers are out, engaged, and ready—but they are also thoughtful and discerning. Homes that are well-priced and presented in an updated, move-in-ready condition are drawing the most attention, while properties requiring significant projects are often met with hesitation due to today’s contractor costs.
If you’re considering selling, now is the time to have an informed conversation. We take a strategic, trust-based approach, helping you decide what truly adds value—and what doesn’t—so you can move forward confidently. Even small, well-chosen updates can make a meaningful difference when guided by experience and intention.
We continue to see exceptionally strong demand for single-level homes, driven by a growing group of buyers looking to simplify. With more than 4.1 million people turning 65 each year through 2027, many are seeking comfort, ease, and long-term livability in their next chapter. Well-located, single-level homes remain one of the most competitive segments of the market.
February also brings the Super Bowl and a little extra Pacific Northwest pride as our friends to the north take the spotlight. It’s one of our favorite times of year to pause and say thank you. Our We Love Our Clients Pizza Giveaway is our small way of showing how much we appreciate the trust you place in us. Have you ordered your pizza yet? There’s still time, but the clock is ticking—don’t miss out on a cozy, delicious night on us!
As February settles in, we’re beginning to feel those first hints of spring—longer daylight, brighter mornings, and the quiet anticipation of what’s next. It’s a natural season for reflection and thoughtful planning, whether that means preparing for a future move or simply understanding your options. When the time feels right, we’re here—driven by trust, focused on results, and committed to helping you bring the next chapter home.
