I hope all of my readers have had a wonderful holiday. The Thompson holiday was a busy one with celebrations and a busy work and teaching schedule. The new year brings me many resolutions. In fact, I have resolved to be a daily blogger in 2008! So check back regularly for interesting information on Western Washington and the real estate market. Nation wide it looks like real estate markets are beginning to steady. It seems (hopefully) the worst of the credit crisis is behind us and we can look forward to a year of steady or growing home prices. On a local front the outlook is even better. Buyers who were holding back on entering the market are beginning their search. Hopefully home owners thinking about a change will go ahead and list their properties now that the holidays are past and help out our low inventory! There are still "bargains" coming on the market every week for the savvy shopper. I have been seeing more sales pending at close to asking price and I haven't seen any low ball sales in a few weeks. This is good news for the sellers and a message to the reluctant buyers that now is time to leap in to the market.
