"In all aspects of my professional life, I run into folks who are exceptional in their given trade. Laura is a true genius and outlier in real estate sales, marketing, and negotiations. Laura brought forward a team of experts including a designer to stage our home and get a price that exceeds our expectations. On the purchasing side, Laura found us a home that fit our family, expertly negotiated pricing and options on our behalf, and saw us through all aspects of the sale of our home and purchase of a new property."

Market Trends: First Quarter of 2020

Market Trends: First Quarter of 2020

Each quarter, Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty analyzes market data to examine trends and to ensure our clients better understand the real estate market. In the late first quarter of 2020, the Puget Sound area, its economy, and the real estate market began experiencing the impacts of the stay-at-home order due to COVID-19. The majority of data gathered occurred before that happened, and although we’re understanding the preliminary effects of COVID-19 on real estate, we can see in these reports that it was trending positive for sellers in all four of these market areas.

IT Pick: May 2020

To my friends, family, clients, and neighbors, I hope you all are able to find the silver lining through these challenging times. As we continue to practice safe social distancing, it’s important to remember this is temporary and we as a community are in this together.

In this month’s IT List, I share my most recent listing in Broadmoor, an exclusive report offered by Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty, an inside look at our real estate market by top experts, and a wonderful sentiment from A. Will about his experience working with me. As always, I am here for you as a trusted resource and guide for all your real estate needs. Reach out today, and let’s chat virtually!

"Laura directed the sale of our father’s house in Broadmoor, and we are very grateful for her insight and professionalism. She knows that market well and had excellent timing as to when it was best to list, when to wait, and when to accept an offer. Her suggestions for staging the house were spot-on, and the place looked great when it was listed... She responded to our questions quickly and thoroughly. Her team even made it possible for me to sign documents while out of the country. I highly recommend Laura Halliday for any property in the Madison Park/Broadmoor area."

“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."

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.

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.
