Selling Over 100 Homes a Year Almost Ruined My Life I've talked about burn-out earlier this week, when I held my coaching webinar for Club Zebra members, and I was really touched by how many people emailed me to share their experiences with burnout. When I was actively selling real estate, I sold way too many homes - and it literally almost ruined my life. One Christmas I really got a reality. I had missed a really important and very special Christmas dinner because I was working. I had let my family down because I was juggling 3 offers on Christmas eve, only to then miss our special dinner. Without going into great detail, this was a huge moment for me.

Renting out your vacation home as a short term rental has long been a popular idea in the Leavenworth and Lake Wenatchee area. Both the city of Leavenworth and Chelan County have rules regulating vacation rentals and airbnbs so I decided it makes a lot of sense to spell out the differences for local home buyers.You can read the first of my posts here: Leavenworth vacation rental rules 06/28/2022

A big snow in January caused a delay in listings but buyer demand continues to cause home prices to soar in Leavenworth.    The average sale price in Leavenworth in Q1 was... $935,000! See all the details in our latest post: https://iciclecreekrealestate.com/2022-leavenworth-home-prices-first-quarter-report/ 06/28/2022

Rethinking How You Recharge Let's talk about recharging. A lot of people think that there are a couple of ways to recharge from the stress of work. It's either going on vacation or taking time off at home. Those are possible ways to recharge, but there are lots of other things that can recharge people and it is different for each of us. What might recharge one person drains another. Even if you consider vacations, different people recharge differently while on their vacations. Some people just want to lie on the beach and do nothing, while others want to be more active. When I am on vacation, I want to explore everything my destination has to offer: the sights, the sounds, the food and culture! Maybe that seems strange, but we're all wired a little differently. This is a big deal becau... 06/23/2022

Here is a 1-minute video from June 20, 2022, for Ferndale, WA residential resale (only) real estate for the past year. Ferndale has very different types of homes and values depending on the location, size, condition, and age of the home. These are median stats for all Ferndale residential. The purpose isn't to find the value of your home (you can get an estimate here: https://heatherstevenson.johnlscott.com/home-valuation) but to show the changes in the market for the past year.  If you would like to know more about your home/investment property valuation, contact me for a complete report. Heather Stevenson John L Scott Real Estatehttps://heatherstevenson.johnlscott.com/ 06/20/2022
