🦃 Hosting Thanksgiving this year?
Here are 5 simple (and budget-friendly) table styling tips to make your gathering feel extra special:

✨ Layer your linens – Start with a neutral base and add a textured runner or placemats for depth.
✨ Mix and match – Imperfection is beautiful! Combine dinnerware styles for a relaxed, curated look.
✨ Bring in nature – Greenery, pinecones, mini pumpkins, or seasonal fruits like pears and pomegranates add warmth.
✨ Set the mood – Candlelight instantly makes any table feel cozy and inviting.
✨ Add personal touches – A handwritten name card or note of gratitude makes every guest feel valued.

A beautifully set table doesn’t have to be fancy—just thoughtful. Here’s to a cozy, memorable Thanksgiving!

Mortgage interest rates continued to trend lower in October, ending the month at 6.17% for 30-year fixed-rate loans, the lowest level since early October 2024. Across NWMLS counties, the number of sales and median prices fell year-over-year by 4% and 1.5%, respectively, while active listings jumped 27%, giving buyers more options in the market despite ongoing affordability challenges.

In other words, if you're a Buyer you have the lowest rates in a year, more active homes on the market and more negotiable options!

If you're a Seller, you must make your home ready to sell. You only get 1 chance to make a good impression! You must also price competitively and be ready to negotiate!

🎉 Just Sold! 🏡✨

It’s always special to help someone buy or sell a home — but it’s even more meaningful when it’s with a repeat client I’ve had the honor of working with over the years. This sale is bittersweet, as they’re off to begin a new chapter in Texas!

To my amazing client: Thank you for your continued trust, loyalty, and friendship throughout the years and homes we’ve journeyed through together. It’s been an absolute privilege to be a part of your story.

Though you’re moving out of state, know that I’m still here for any friends or family in the area who may be thinking of buying or selling. Referrals mean the world and I’d be honored to help them too!

Wishing you all the best in Texas — and cheers to new beginnings! 🌟

August cool sales but expand opportunities for buyers
In August, both active listings and home sales declined compared to July—by 2.7% and 7.7%, respectively—across the 27 counties in the NWMLS coverage area. This slowdown was largely driven by weaker activity in King and Snohomish counties. Compared to the same time last year, listings rose by 30.8%, but sales fell by 5.7%, indicating continued stagnant buyer demand. Median home prices remained flat month-over-month and increased just .8% year-over-year.
