Seattle, the Champions in so Many Ways…

As most everyone in Seattle witnessed last Sunday and again at the victory parade on Wednesday, Seattle is on fire! We dominated the Super Bowl with our 43-8 win over the Denver Broncos and the victory celebrations of our 12^th man were heard across the country. People may be taking a little more notice now about who Seattle is and realizing it is a pretty amazing city. Our Super Bowl Championship is just the beginning for Seattle…2014 is going to be a great year and that includes the Real Estate Market.  Interest rates hit a three-month low this week and while the rest of the country is expected to have a decline in property appreciation, our local markets are expected to blaze on and do the opposite.  If you want to know more about the upcoming Spring market, or are thinking about buying or selling, please contact us.
