Buying Cultural Trends: How driving trends are impacting the housing market Studies continue to show that the amount of time a person spends commuting every day is a major factor when buying a home.

Selling Windermere Launches Customized Program Focused On Supporting Growing Senior Population Two years ago, the oldest members of the Baby Boomer generation turned 65, and over the next 18 years, 79 million more will do the same.

Market News Western Washington | second quarter 2013, Volume XXII We have been looking for balance within the real estate market for several years now. During the crash, there were clearly far more sellers than buyers, but when we found the bottom of the market and prices started to rise, the tables were turned with considerably more buyers than sellers. In as much as we are still far from truly finding the market equilibrium that we have all been waiting for...

Buying How to Choose the Right Home As the market starts heating up and real estate becomes a popular dinner party topic again, it’s easy to get so caught up in the fever of searching and offers that we forget why we were buying a home in the first place. When you’re hearing about “inventory shortages” and “bidding wars” it’s important not to fall into the trap of settling, buying for the wrong reasons, or even overspending.
