Don't think that everything you hear on the national news about the housing market applies to your particular area. True some areas in the US are definitely a buyer's market (like Florida), however, here in the Pacific Northwest the market is pretty well balanced at this time and not particularly favoring anyone, buyers or sellers. So what it really comes down to is having a skilled, knowledgeable, professional real estate agent to represent you in the transaction, especially when it comes to negotiating the sale or purchase of a home. When you're the buyer, having an agent that listens to you and knows the market, to find the home that best suits your needs and desires, is in your best interest . When you're the seller, having the right agent who knows how to market your home can make all the difference to selling your home quickly and getting the best price. Let's talk about it, I'm not trying to sell you something I provide a service, my job is to assist you in finding or selling your home, in making the right decisions and being informed about this important financial decision.

Well it's almost the end of another year. Like everyone else I can't believe how fast they fly by. But the end of the year is such a great time of year I'm glad it's here. With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas just around the corner, along with other Celebrations that happen this time of year, it's actually a cheerful and bright feeling from all the decorations and festivities. This happens to be one the times of year that I dread because of the time change and the short days, that I do find depressing. But on the other hand the holidays and the coming new year which has a tendency to give you the illusion of a fresh start to head off in new directions makes this time of year go quickly, thank goodness.
