"How these sellers made $60,000 on their Lacey, WA house in just 15 months" seems like a pretty sensational headline and I usually don't start out my blog posts this way, but this is absolutely true.  Here's how these sellers did it.  SummaryMy clients purchased this newly-constructed home in July 2014 for $409,950 in Lacey, WA.  Fifteen months later in October 2016, they sold the home in just 7 days for $470,000.How did these sellers get the most amount of money for the home in the least amount of time, and came out ahead after just buying the home 15 months ago? Market ConditionsLet's first look at sales and market statistics from the year 2000 to year-to-date.The chart below focuses on supply and demand, that is shown as absorption rate, and how this absorption rate affects prices.Cu...

Here is the Lacey WA / Hawks Prairie area real estate update for January 2016.The 2015 year in the Hawks Prairie area of Lacey, WA for real estate was phenomenal. 2015 was the most sales this area has seen in the last 10 years.  The second highest year for sales was in 2006.  Here is a comparison of the numbers for all of 2014 compared to 2015. All the numbers look great for the North Lacey / Hawks Prairie area! Sales Prices are up. Number of home sales is up. Inventory numbers have improved.  Between the buyer activity and the fewer listings on the market, this has pushed Lacey / Hawks Prairie into a strong seller's market. Number of listings has improved with fewer homes on the market, leaving buyers with fewer choices and sellers with less competition. What does all this mean? In a n...

Here is the North Lacey / Hawks Prairie WA real estate update for June 2015. Why live in the North Lacey / Hawks Prairie WA area?Hawks Prairie is aptly named as hawks, eagles, woodland birds, and wetland birds make this area their home.  You can see bald eagles soaring through the skies above neighborhoods in Hawks Prairie.  The Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge is nearby, which is a rich home for the birds and other wildlife.North Lacey is a fast-developing part of the county, with lots of residential and commercial new construction, the completion of Cabela's, and other major retailers coming soon.This area is preferred for northward I-5 commuters as one of the northern-most I-5 Exit 111 in Thurston County is easily accessed here. This area is approximately 20-30 minutes from JBLM (J...

Realtors - It's your obligation to get great listing photos for your sellers.Just about every Realtor I know groans and moans when we see bad listing photos. The question we always cry out sarcastically is, “has the seller not SEEN these hideous photos?!” And after that, “how did that agent ever get HIRED to list that home?!”  And what really chaps our hides is when it is a higher-priced listing with embarrassingly bad photos.And I’m not being nit-picky or overly critical about the listing photos I see posted. I’m talking about agents who post photos where their thumb is in every photo or all the photos are lopsided like the agent was falling over or photos of toilets (don’t get me started on this one!). Seriously sellers, are you not seeing these bad photos of your house?!But I digress...
