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."

IT Pick: April 2020

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.

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.

It Pick: February 2020

February is here, and 2020 is off to a phenomenal start. I'm pleased to announce that both my Skinner Mansion and Capitol Hill Modern listings are now pending!

In this month's It List, I also feature the most recent market statistics for Seattle, some insightful news on millennial home buying, and local happenings around the Sound.

My “It Pick” for February highlights an in-depth report by one of the Seattle area's top appraisers, Alan Pope. Alan is a member of the Platinum Group, along with myself and 20 (or so) of the top realtors in the greater Seattle area. Alan is my go-to appraiser, and honestly the only one I am aware of that actually tours active listings—so when he gives a valued opinion, he can speak to the comparable sales as he has been in them. One-of-a-kind really, you won't want to miss out!

A killer master with vaulted ceilings, fabulous bathroom, and large walk-in dressing room. Did I mention the intimate and private gardens? Past perfected!
Seattle Residential Prices Accelerate Out Of Their Slow-Growth Funk

Seattle residential prices have since outperformed October's optimistic prediction, with the index having already reached 3.3-percent year-over-year growth in November.

On average, millennials tend to be the youngest demographic that purchase homes. One self-made millionaire shares why it's one of the biggest mistakes a young adult could make.

"During our first encounter, Laura was kind, patient and confident. I had heard how dedicated Laura had been with my son and his family. Laura made the impossible happen for us."
2020 Appraisal Report
