What a great summary of the reasons to list now!  I just yesterday said many of these things to a client of mine who will likely have his home ready in 2-3 weeks.  Over the last 30 days, one of my listings has had 14 showings, and this in a home priced at $870,000 in outlying Redmond (home to Mi...

This is my first blog entry, so just testing the water a bit!  We are so lucky to be part of a healthy market here in the Greater Seattle marketplace, we are thankful to be sure.  How many of you are willing to predict that we are going to come out of this anemic phase of sales by summer?  Or wil...
