Reflecting on 2024 with Gratitude and Optimism
As 2024 comes to a close, I’m reminded of the unique challenges and opportunities this year brought. While many hoped for a more significant drop in interest rates, the Federal Reserve’s delays and modest cuts kept 30-year conventional mortgage rates between the mid-7s to mid-6’s (currently 6.875% to 7.125% depending on mortgage balance). This tempered the typically fast-paced spring market and brought a more measured rhythm to the fall.
Even so, Seattle and King County’s real estate market demonstrated resilience. In select neighborhoods and price ranges, high demand and limited inventory kept things moving. Through it all, I’ve been privileged to help my clients navigate their personal real estate journeys — a role that continues to bring me joy, even amidst the challenges.
Thank you for trusting me with one of life’s most important decisions. Whether it’s time for your next move or just catching up, I’m here for you and excited to connect.
As we step into a new year, I wish you happiness, good health, and countless cherished moments in your home. Here’s a look back at the highlights of 2024!
