| I've been a long-distance walker and runner for most of my life, and my favorite excursions are always when April showers give way to May flowers. The cherry blossoms in this year have been absolutely fabulous in Seattle, and I've had to stop myself from making toothpicks of my neighborhood trees for want of gathering branches into bouquets for friends. While I can't bring flowers to each and every one of you, please consider this note a small offering of cheer for the spring season. Continue reading for what I've been up to and what I'm looking forward to in the weeks to come. |

| | Real Estate Market Update |

|
|
| | Median sale prices are down from the pandemic-fueled highs of 2021 and 2022 as higher interest rates have shown their staying power. At the same time, constrained inventory persists, with new single-family listings in Seattle taking a dip from March to April for the first time since 2020. Among well- priced and presented homes, multiple offers are common. As ever, real estate is very much a neighborhood by neighborhood game, so feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about your specific area. I always love to connect! |
