The Seattle real estate market is finally waking up—and not a moment too soon.
Still waiting for the “perfect” time to buy a home? In this week’s video, I share why that strategy could actually cost you more in the long run.
I break down three reasons why taking action now—not later—is the smartest move for your future.
After a bit of a slow start to the real estate season this year, the last few weeks have taken off! I’ve had many buyers and sellers reaching out, and we’re seeing homes go under contract quickly—including this one right here. The spring Seattle real estate market is gaining momentum fast, and it’s bringing both opportunity and competition with it.
After several years of tight inventory, we’re finally seeing a noticeable shift—active home listings are up 27.5% nationally compared to this time last year, according to Realtor.com.
While inventory still hasn’t returned to pre-pandemic levels, 2025 is off to a stronger start than we’ve seen in recent spring seasons. That means more choices for buyers and better opportunities for sellers looking to make their next move.
If you’ve been waiting for a better selection, this could be the window you’ve been hoping for. With demand picking up and serious buyers out in full force, now is the time to make your move in the Seattle real estate market.
Stop Waiting, Start Building Wealth!
