Seattle Real Estate: Superbowl Sunday or not, the buyers were out in full force yesterday! I figured yesterday would be a loss as far as getting any traffic into the houses that our company held open, but wanted to give it a shot anyway. Molly held open 9042 6th Ave NW, which is a great Greenwood home for sale on the edge of Crown Hill and had quite a few interested buyers through. Morgan held open the Seattle houseboat for sale that we listed this last week - lots of great people through and some very strong interest.
The one recurring Seattle real estate theme that we have heard for weeks now is that the inventory is so low that there are not as many choices. We keep hearing form potential sellers that they think their home won't sell in this market, but the truth is that priced right and presented well, it could sell faster than you think! It is just a matter of finding the right buyers for the right houses and lack of inventory is contributing towards lower than possible sales for right now more than most anything else - maybe even more than tighter lending guidelines. Let us know if you want a current martket analysis and opinion for your Seattle home.

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine! I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week. Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.
In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry. With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.

Courtney, Glad you had Molly and Morgan hold the opens yesterday for those buyers who didn't care that the Colts and The Saints were playing.
I'm very careful about the games that are being played when planning my open houses. The Super Bowl is one I stay at my home for. Glad you had success.
Courtney,
Seems that you had success on that day, super bowls for many people are sacred :), but glad to read this blog ! :)
:) I know I know, but I like college football.... Fortunately a lot of buyers out there felt the same way:)
