To my friends, family, clients, and neighbors, I hope you are staying well and healthy. During these difficult times, I am reminded that community means we’re all in this together. Though our togetherness currently comes in the form of social distancing and uncertainty, as we navigate uncharted territory, one thing remains unchanged: I believe in my role and responsibility to serve as your trusted advisor.

In this month’s IT List, I share my most recent off-market sale in Washington Park, a look at market fundamentals in early 2020, a few kind words about working with me from Steve and Kathy Clarke, and a new resource created by Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty to keep you informed amidst the pandemic. If you have questions about our market fundamentals or would like to discuss how to accomplish your real estate goals while adhering to the orders set in place to protect our well-being, I’d love to chat over a virtual cup of coffee.

Washington Park Classic | Sold at $3,800,000

Networking and neighborhood knowledge does it again! So delighted to put together this off-market sale for my clients in Washington Park, particularly in this challenging environment. Congrats to my wonderful sellers, and the lucky buyers.

Home Selling Is Slowed, But Not Stopped By The Response To COVID-19

April 2020

Since the stay-at-home mandate was announced, new listings on the market have shown a slight decline. However, selling prices of closed sales have broadly matched their listing prices, and in some areas, have sold above the seller’s offer for the home.

Seattle's Real Estate Market

Continues to Show Up

Despite our current restrictions, home buying and selling is still as active as ever in our local market. Recent data shows that the number of homes and condos sold in the first week of April, were higher than in each of the past two years.

Steve & Kathy Clarke

"We both give Laura our highest possible recommendation because Laura is an excellent listener and communicator. These qualities, plus her candor and obvious market knowledge, earned our trust early on. She was highly skilled, patient, and discreet while guiding us through what was, for us, a complex, lengthy, and trying process. She brings an ideal balance between professionalism, with laser focus, while being consistently personable and pleasant to deal with. She was ALWAYS prompt and ran the extra yard in exceeding our expectations. We both feel very fortunate to have had her on our side during this process."
