I’m sitting here at Seatte Heights during the advertised Belltown Progressive Condo Tour. There have been a number of people through thus far and it makes me wonder what the rest of the year will look like for Seattle condos.
It is not a surprise that for most owners, it has been a tough few [...]

Escala is once again the talk of the town. Jim Stroupe broke a story this week that has been developing for quite some time. I commend he and his team for getting the details out in the public. In fact, earlier this week, behind closed doors the details of the change were still “off” the [...]

This post today has me in a bit of a pickle. There is a condo building on Capitol Hill that is teetering on the edge of disaster. I’m acutely aware of the situation, but hesitant to throw the project under the bus. What I do know, is that my client and I decided that it [...]

It would seem obvious to suggest that 2010 numbers would be better than 2009, but with that being said, the pending home sales number jumped significantly. This kind of activity is a good thing for King County and it also shows that we are continuing the long process of stabilizing. As I mentioned (tweet) on [...]

I experienced something this morning that was unforgettable. A few days back a client of mine and I were having a beer in Downtown Seattle. He mentioned that he was having a guest speaker for his 35 employee consulting firm. Little did I know that it would be Mr. Bruce Nordstrom. When I asked if [...]

If you haven’t noticed the incredible amount of short sales on the market, I would venture to guess that you have not been looking for a new home. Since the begining of 2009, I have noticed more and more short sales hitting the market. It boils down to a few different contributing factors:
1. Unemployment
2. Loss [...]

A quick update on the open house this weekend at Seattle Heights. As mentioned before, I had 10-12 people through. I thought it might be interesting for you to know what their profiles were. Here is my best effort based on my memory and the notes taken during the 3 hours while I was there:

Don’t Panic:
The media has always had their way with the American public. Don’t get me wrong, I think its easy to get caught up in the “sensationalism” that is our US media. However, you should not always believe what you hear. Here is a great example:
I received numerous calls from clients yesterday in regards to [...]
