What's New?
The Seattle market is among the very few nationwide that is holding up.
Values, which typically rebound from autumn slumps, have almost - but not quite - bounced back to last summer's highs. Average sales prices in Seattle were up in June, $599,000 for houses compared to $550,000 in April; for condos it was $389,000 compared to $376,000 in April. (New construction excluded from the calculations).
Interest rates are around six-and-a-half percent for conforming buyers (up to $417,500), and a little more for larger loans. FHA loans are seeing a comeback in the marketplace. And, you can get jumbo loans! Click here for more information! What the future brings, we'll just have to wait and see!
About Cynthia & Mack:
Ex-New Yorkers, they now live in a Belltown condo, after living in a garden home in Whittier Heights from 1988 to 2006. They have a combined thirty-five years of experience helping people buy and sell residential real estate throughout Seattle.
Cynthia is recognized by her peers as one of the leading experts in garden homes in the region, and consults with agents throughout the Northwest on the marketing of special garden homes.
In partnership with Brian Tschider of Cobalt Construction, they developed the AIA award-winning 42nd Street Condos, feted at Dwell Magazine's first annual Nice Modernists' Awards at New York's Cooper-Hewitt Museum in 2002. They have been rated Five Star (Best In Client Satisfaction) Agents by Seattle Magazine, and, most importantly: they are dedicated to exceeding your expectations for honesty, integrity, and expertise.
Services for Buyers: Cynthia & Mack offer comprehensive Buyer Brokerage services, at no fee to the buyer on NWMLS-listed properties (which is almost all of them). Previewing, evaluating - as lifestyle experts, they look for how livable a home is, alerting clients to potential problems (and solutions) before buyers get emotionally involved; then comes negotiating, offering referrals to service providers (including lenders, inspectors, title and escrow), and basically guiding buyers through the entire process and helping them get to the hottest properties in time! This has resulted in hundreds of happy clients over the years!
Cynthia’s particular specialty is organic gardens (and the houses they come with!). For Mack (native Manhattanite), it's the in-city condo life. Both of them are committed to make finding that dream home as easy as is humanly possible!
Services for Sellers: Cynthia & Mack provide complete sales services, from pre-listing preparation strategies (you’d be surprised how many people spend ‘way too much money on things that don’t really make a difference in the end), to full-color brochures, on-line presentation, and advertising specifically targeted to real estate agents and their buyers. We invite you to allow Cynthia & Mack to meet with you if you’re considering offering your home for sale - they are agents who are truly committed to addiing value to the transaction!
