Still searching for the Luck O’ Irish? Current low mortgage rates and still-low home prices have created a wealth of opportunity to invest in real estate right now! If you are a potential buyer, NWMLS director George Moorhead, says, “get your financials updated with your lender and be ready to lock in terms.”
And if you’re a seller, consider this: For single family homes, the median price in 23 counties was $270,000, for a gain of 6% from the year-ago price of $255,000. And prices in King, Pierce and Snohomish counties shot up more than 11% from ago.
Mike Gain, past chairman of the NMWLS board and President/CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices NW Real Estate, agreed now is “a perfect time for move up sellers and buyers.” He said, “normalcy is finally returning to residential real estate and our area continues to be an attractive destination for relocating families and investors.”
It’s time to finally find your Pot of Gold! Dangerously low supply and high demand continue to drive our market! According to Gain, “Anyone who is even considering selling a home should do it now. We have plenty of buyers are who are just waiting to find the right home to purchase.”
Remember, I’m always here to help, if you know of anyone with real estate questions and you think they could benefit from my services, please forward this email to them.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to you and your family! I hope you have a great weekend.
