Thumb_8567813820_57dc199e5f_o

Posted in Market News by Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate

Thumb_16232_nevada_gardnerreportq3_masthead

Posted in Market News and Nevada Real Estate Market Update by Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate

Thumb_w_colection

Posted in Windermere by Shelley Rossi


Thanks in large part to the booming economy, growing tech sector, and increasing international appeal, Seattle is no longer a sleepy little city tucked away in the far corner of the United States.
