Harvest October
As the leaves turn and pumpkin spice everything appears, October isn't just about costumes and candy – it's also a fang-tastic time to sink your teeth into the real estate market! Whether you're haunting for your dream home or considering listing your current abode before the ghoulishly busy holiday season, this month offers some unique opportunities.
Scroll down to view my spellbinding listings! Will you be enchanted by a beautifully renovated historic home in La Conner, or perhaps a magical retreat in Discovery Park's Fort Lawton Landmark District? If a new construction with lock-and-leave ease is your potion, I have just the thing. Does one of these captivating homes cast its spell on you?
Let's treat the October market as your next big opportunity. After all, in real estate, timing is everything, and sometimes, the biggest treats come when you least expect them! Happy House Hunting (or Selling!) and Happy Halloween!

From Frenzy to Breathing Room: Buyers Finally Have Time Again |
| |
|
| | If you tried to buy a home a few years ago, you probably still remember the frenzy. Homes were listed one day and gone the next. Sometimes it only took hours. You had to drop everything to go and see the house, and if you hesitated even slightly, someone else swooped in and bought it – sometimes even sight unseen. |

King County Weekly Insights |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
King County’s housing market held steady last week, showing the hallmarks of a balanced fall season. Active inventory remained virtually unchanged, signaling stability after several weeks of gradual adjustments. New listings tapered slightly, reflecting the typical slowdown in seller activity this time of year, while pending sales dipped modestly and closed sales saw a larger pullback—consistent with a seasonal easing in buyer pace rather than a shift in fundamentals. Prices remained firm, with both average and median sale values holding close to prior weeks, and median active prices unchanged for the third straight week. Notably, days on market improved, indicating that well-priced homes continue to attract attention quickly. Overall, King County continues to demonstrate steadiness, with balanced conditions and resilient pricing carrying the market through the early stages of fall. |
