IT LIST: August 2020

As the summer season peaks, nature is in full bloom and the sun continues to shine throughout Seattle! I hope you all have been able to enjoy this gorgeous weather we've had lately, whether that be through nature walks, time with loved ones, or a good book on the patio.


In this month’s IT List, I'm pleased to share two newly listed homes: an Expansive Tudor on Shenandoah Drive with a sprawling sunny double lot and a Georgian Colonial classic on Capitol Hill with an unbeatable location, an interesting report on Seattle-area renters, the latest market trends in Seattle, an inside look at the latest edition of RESIDE Magazine, and inspiring sentiments from a past client.

Treasured Anhalt Tudor

Treasured Anhalt Tudor

Known as the Millard-May house, this was Anhalt's favorite home and he punctuated it with oodles of delicious details: a timbered entry dormer, a dramatic vaulted beamed ceiling, stained glass windows, a Dutch door and brass nailhead trim. Embracing its super-power (charm and ambience) at every turn, this home has been completely updated by the team of Bosworth Hoedemaker and Garret Cord Werner.

Georgian Colonial in North Capitol Hill

Georgian Colonial in North Capitol Hill

Perched high above the street, this lovely Georgian colonial checks all the right boxes. On the main floor, perfectly proportioned formal rooms boast arched doorways and coved ceilings, a darling kitchen with Calcutta counters and high-end stainless appliances. The lower level has a terrific rec-room with plenty of room for a big sectional and TV, plus room for a desk, tons of built-in storage, and two full wine refrigerators! The backyard is west facing with mature plantings and built-in Wolf BBQ.

Sold at $1,450,000

Royal Tudor in Broadmoor

Royal Tudor in Broadmoor

There is a powerful presence to a Tudor home ~ a royal lineage, an inherent greatness. Sited on a sprawling sun, drenched double-lot, this special home is a tribute to good taste and classical design. Bright, welcoming rooms exude refinement at every turn and open to a level patio and expansive garden. A third-floor retreat and lower level rec-room extend your space. Permitted plans available for an apartment over the existing garage. A home to make memories in!

Market Trends: Second Quarter of 2020

Market Trends: Second 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. The second quarter of 2020 was framed by a very different real estate landscape as Washington’s stay-at-home order was in effect for the majority of this period. The data across these five market areas reflects fewer homes on the market year-over-year likely because of this, and while median prices and buyer demand varied more, it was a seller’s market.

IT Pick: July 2020

To my clients, family, and friends, I hope you all had a fun and safe Fourth of July weekend and continue to bask in the sunshine that Seattle has seen lately. As we continue to practice safe social distancing, I encourage you to take advantage of our local parks and trails, and enjoy all the bounty our region has to offer.

In this month’s IT List, I'm pleased to share my most recent listing in Broadmoor, an exclusive take on recent market trends from Realogics Sotheby's International Realty, and a heartwarming testimonial from a past client. Our market continues to thrive from a real estate perspective. If you're in the market to buy or sell, let's chat!

This classic Ralph Anderson home is a solid example of his iconic Northwest Contemporary style. Big windows draw nature inside while a gated courtyard in the front adds privacy from the street. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, stone floors, and three dramatic basalt fireplaces add drama and texture to the modern aesthetic of this home. Six gentle steps up take you to the master floor with its own den/office, and down to two guest rooms and another den. Sophisticated (easy-living), lock-and-leave luxury!

Seattle Home Prices Still Second-Fastest Rising Nationwide As Restrictions Remain

The Seattle-area market continues to thrive despite current mandates. Our area saw some of the fastest rising home prices in the nation. Home prices in Seattle in April 2020, compared to April 2019, increased by 7.3 percent. Nationwide, the increase was only 4.7 percent.

Mortgage Rates Continue to Hover Around Historic Lows

Mortgage rates hit a historic low after the Fourth of July weekend, averaging around three percent (and below, for 15-year fixed mortgages). Experts predict that if the economy continues on this trajectory, rates could go even lower.

"Laura Halliday is a visionary. When other realtors saw much less value in the property, she recognized its uniqueness, understood the benefit to buyers, and knew how to showcase and market the property so that potential buyers could picture themselves living, relaxing, and entertaining in this beautiful waterfront condominium."
