Fall Has Landed!

Wow! We thought it would slow down a bit during summer, but we were busier than ever helping our clients with 24 transactions since our May update. It's still a challenging market for buyers with so little inventory, but with quick action and knowledgeable professionals, the WhyWeLoveSkagit Team is here help you find the right home. Take a look at what we've been up to this summer, and check out our latest properties for sale below.

Coldwell Banker Bain Third Quarter Report (Click on the picture to see the full PDF report!)

Reflecting on the third-quarter numbers and feedback from brokers, Mike Grady, Coldwell Banker Bain president and COO, said, “...while it’s still a seller’s market, for more than a year now we’ve continued to see only 1-2 months of inventory, so we’re starting to think we may be looking at a ‘new normal’ in relation to what a balanced market looks like. That is, our region’s new balanced market may have changed from one that had 4- 5 months of inventory, to one that only offers 1-2 months of inventory. And with the international economy and trade issues continuing to be erratic, and interest rates staying low, these pressures will almost certainly also be an influence, yet there’s no clear answer to how all of this will play out. But for sure, a market with 1-2 months of inventory is good news for both buyers and sellers, and evens the playing field a bit." Rich Continues Home Run Streak! Rich finished up Seattle softball leagues just in time this year! He was so busy this summer helping our buyers find cool homes, that he didn't have much time to even feed his pet goats! But, we got him a little well-deserved time off recently and he took great advantage of it by heading to Palm Springs to party (well, from the looks of him sleeping on this rock atop Mt. San Jacinto State Park, I think he just needed a little rest!)

Having Rich on our team ensures there is constant support and someone available to help out our clients when they need it. As a licensed real estate broker and REALTOR®, Rich works with our buyers to find and show homes that meet their needs here in Skagit Valley and Anacortes.

La Conner Halloween Parade Wows Again! Small town parades are the best, and La Conner is a great example. Parents and friends take children out to parade down the street in costume, followed by Trick-or-Treating at the local businesses. A fun time is always had by all! Events like these bring together people of the community, and we are honored to be part of that.
