2023 Year-in-Review

Hello and welcome to 2024!  Last year was an interesting year for Seattle area real estate. Single family residential sales were off due to lack of supply and low demand from buyers.  The number of houses for sale were well below the ten-year average. The interest rates rose and peaked in October, finally coming down to mid to low-6’s late December.

What does the prediction for 2024 look like?  The inflation numbers, jobs numbers and mortgage rates, as well as political headwins will be watched closely by all.  We all await some evidence of momentum and I believe that we’ll see a busier market.

My work is never boring, or without challenges.  I look forward to connecting with you soon just for an update or to discuss your next move.  Below is a review of 2023’s memorable moments.  Thank you for your business and referrals!

Mid-Year review from Tamara

Hello and welcome to the 2nd half of 2023!  An interesting year for Seattle area real estate. Single family residential sales are off due to lack of supply and tentative demand from buyers. In May for example, new listings were 32% below the ten-year average. The interest rate hikes of 2022 peaked in October and have been in the mid to high 6’s this year — the new norm for buyers.  The inflation numbers, jobs numbers and mortgage rates are watched closely by all.  And in spite of all the headlines, well-priced homes can still fetch more than one offer and sell for over asking price.  Preparation, the property condition, competition, and timing are all very important factors.  My work is never boring, or without challenges.  I look forward to connecting with you soon.

2022 — Journey to (a new) Normal

Time to celebrate the past year as we prepare for 2023. THANK YOU to all of you who allowed me to accompany you on your journey of purchasing and/or selling your home.  And I also greatly appreciate those of you who referred me clients. It is the greatest compliment to receive referrals of your friends and family.

Our 2022 Seattle real estate market provided plenty of stories with twists and turns and some dramatic pivots. While sensational headlines may be causing worry and confusion, I believe this market is returning to a new normal after an all-too-frenetic couple of years.  Yes interest rates have risen but are already declining this month based on some recent economic indicators.  The real estate market is not dying; however it may be pausing in some segments.  My prediction is opportunities will exist for sellers to achieve solid prices and buyers will be able to purchase a home possibly with less competition.

Wishing you a Happy Holiday Season.  May the New Year be full of good health and good times.

All in, for you!

It’s Been a Year — Bring on 2022!

We may be ready to wave goodbye to 2021 but first here’s a brief look back.  You may have participated in the story of 2021 — single family residential real estate in Seattle and all King County communities saw escalating prices never seen before. During the peak of this frenetic market Buyers struggled to access houses, submit offers quickly and witnessed “early offers” as a common tactic. High demand will carry us into the first quarter 2022…with very low inventory! It will keep me on my toes.

For those of you focused on condominiums, that market saw different patterns as it sought to find recovery from a challenging pandemic market in 2020. A steady increase in sales in the affordable/first-time buyer category as well as the luxury condominium market suggests demand is back.

THANK YOU to all of you who allowed me to assist you with your purchase or sales, and who referred me clients. It is the greatest compliment I can receive to do repeat business and/or to receive referrals of your friends and family. I especially appreciate the kindness you extended to me during the unexpected loss of my mother in April this year.

This time of year is a chance for us to reflect and celebrate surviving all that life has delivered. Wishing you a Happy New Year full of good health and some level of optimism as we look forward to 2022. May we persevere.

All in, for you!

Year-to-Date 2021 Activity

The year 2021 has been a dramatic story with sales of single family residential real estate in Seattle and all King County communities off to a blazing start.  During the peak of this frenetic market Buyers struggled to access houses and submit offers on the deadlines and “early offers” became a common tactic.  The condominium market saw different patterns as it sought to find recovery from a challenging pandemic market in 2020.  However, there has been a steady increase in sales in the lower-end/first-time buyer category as well as the luxury condominium market. As we begin July, a market shift is apparent and it reminds us all to be prepared for changes and pivot accordingly.

May the pandemic era in 2021 bring you hope for ways to cope with our new reality as we strive for economic recovery, some sort of normalcy, less masking requirements, and full vaccination rates to tackle the Delta, Gamma and other COVID-19 variants that we may be facing.  Please reach out to let me know how you are doing — I would love to hear from you and look forward to seeing you in person again soon.

Here’s a look at what kept me busy during 2021.  Thanks to all of you who allowed me to assist you with your purchases or sales, and to those who referred clients to me.  I am honored to be a part of this important event in your lives and especially appreciate the kindness extended to me during the unexpected loss of my mother in April this year.

A Look at 2020 So Far…

The year 2020 will be seared into our memories forever.  Seattle-area real estate sales were off to a blazing start and then our lives took a dramatic turn with the declaration of a pandemic and the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order. I know all of you will have stories to tell about how these past four months have changed and challenged you.

Surprisingly, after a pause in late March and early April, the market showed great resilience in the single family homes category and currently multiple offers are a frequent happening in many neighborhoods and price ranges due to high demand, low inventory and amazing interest rates.  The condominium market has seen more volitle swings with the more recent protests adding a multiplier effect on the slowdown of condos in downtown Seattle and other in-city neighborhoods.

So many factors including stock market volatility, employment changes, trade war fears, elections, home schooling and buyer and seller’s emotional responses to all of the above is making for an unpredictable year so far.

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones healthy and finding ways to cope with our new and ever-changing reality.  Please reach out to let me know how you are doing.  Here’s a look at my business year to date including the sale of my own home (yes, we moved during the pandemic!).

A Look Back at 2019

As we prepare to start a new decade, I wish to acknowledge and thank all of my wonderful clients and friends for your continuous stream of business, referrals, friendship and support. I am honored to help my clients with such important transitions in their life.

The 2019 real estate market delivered great variety from fast-paced, frenetic behavior to slow downs in some segments.  Multiple offers subsided in the fall and buyers seized opportunities not experienced in several years, particularly in the condominium market. Many factors including stock market volatility due to trade war fears, elections, and buyer’s emotional responses made it an interesting and busy year!  December market activity suggests that 2020 will be an upbeat and active market.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my 2019 Sale History.  Cheers!

A Look Back at 2018

The 2018 real estate market delivered fast-paced, frenetic behavior and outcomes in the first five months of the year and then we witnessed a slow down with inventory increasing, multiple offers subsiding and buyers seizing opportunities not experienced in several years. The trends were unpredictable due to many factors including interest rate and stock market volatility, political actions — local and federal — and buyer’s lack of confidence and emotional responses. It was an interesting and busy year!

As we start the new year, I wish to acknowledge and thank all of my wonderful clients and friends for your continuous stream of business, referrals, friendship and support. I am honored to take care of so many people who trust me to help with such an important transaction in their life. Thanks for taking the time to look at my 2018 Sale History. 

Cheers!  Tamara Marson

Year-to-Date 2018…My Clients’ Sales and Purchases

The first half of 2018 has been fast-paced with frenetic behavior and outcomes.  However, by the end of May, we started to see a mild slow down with inventory increasing and in some cases multiple offers subsided.  The trends are unpredictable due to many factors including interest rate and stock market volitility, political actions — local and federal — and normal summertime distractions.

THANK YOU to all of my wonderful clients and friends for your continuous stream of business, referrals and support.  Please contact me if you’d like to discuss your plans for the future, or if you have any friends, family members or co-workers who may need my assistance.  Thanks for taking a look at Tamara Marson’s 2018 Sale History.
