Time in the Market Beats Timing the Market |
| |
|
| | Trying to decide whether it makes more sense to buy a home now or wait? There’s a lot to consider, from what’s happening in the market to your changing needs. But generally speaking, aiming to time the market isn’t a good strategy – there are too many factors at play for that to even be possible. |

Seattle Chamber of Connection |

I recently become a neighborhood captain for the Chamber of Connection, Seattle Chapter. The Chamber’s mission is to cultivate connections within our community for both new and long-standing members. It's been a joy to remind everyone of the unique Seattleite culture—like our courteous "after you" gestures at 4-way stops and the memorable blend of our vibrant music scene with a genuine work-hard-play-hard ethos amidst our stunning natural surroundings. Personally, I’m eager to see us embrace these traditions once again! If you're interested in connecting with newcomers in your area, I recommend becoming a regular at local neighborhood events—it's a great way to build relationships and strengthen our community.
