Thumb_ysios_nevertoolate_042916

Keeping Up with The Joneses: Seven Yard Tools a First-Time Homeowner Needs

Thumb_joneses4

Posted in Living by Tyler Davis Jones


Did you know that gardening tools are really expensive? I didn’t. We even priced out what it would cost to have a landscaper come every two weeks just to mow and edge our front and back yard (which would leave us to the weeding, sweeping, etc.) but alas… that is also expensive (about $100 per month). So… Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to Home Depot we go…

Thumb_matthewgardner_color

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


With home prices rising and consumers not taking on additional mortgage debt, equity levels have grown substantially. The country went through a very painful period of negative equity during the housing recession, but the growth started returning in 2012, and we moved back into a period of positive equity again by the summer of 2013. In 2015, equity levels increased by an impressive 10.2 percent

Western Washington Real Estate Market Update

Thumb_16088_wwa_gardnerreportq1_masthead

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


Washington State has seen very robust growth over the past 12 months with the addition of 102,600 new jobs, which is 224,000 more jobs than seen at the previous peak in 2008. With this robust growth, it is unsurprising to see the unemployment rate trend down to 5.8%—well below the long-term average of 6.4%. As pleasing as it is to see the unemployment rate drop, it is equally pleasing to see...

What’s the Deal with Condos?

Thumb_dreamstime_m_28475670

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


The Greater-Seattle region continues to grow its population base but not its land base. As such, density needs to be embraced. Condominiums play an important part of the equation, but until this segment of the market regains its footing, there will be further pressure on housing of all types to accommodate the region’s growth, and this will continue to put upward pressure on prices.
