How A Real Estate Agent Can Help You Understand The Right Timing For The Market

Navigating the Seattle real estate market can be challenging, especially when it comes to understanding the optimal timing for buying or selling a property.

  • During COVID, interest rates were low but prices were high.
  • In 2022 Interest Rates shot up and prices went down.

People waited for a crash that didn’t come, and now the market is moving up again.

Fortunately, the market is normalizing and getting less “crazy” and there are fewer “feeding frenzies” when it comes to dozens of buyers bidding on the same home.   This makes it easier for buyers to find a property they like, and sellers to move and buy something else.

Trusting a real estate agent like me to guide you through these complexities ensures that you’re not just reacting to market fluctuations, but strategically planning your moves for the best possible outcomes.
