When buyers decide it is time to buy a home in the Olympia, WA area, often one of the first criteria they have in mind is the location they want for that home. And that is great because our MLS gives us quite a few different ways to search so that we can pinpoint homes for sale in the location(s...

I'm really not sure I am ready for autumn yet (yes, I know it will happen whether or not I am ready), but I am sure seeing hints of it everywhere all of a sudden. Trees are starting to show those glowing reds, golds, and oranges on a few leaves or branches. Fall blooming flowers are joining i...
