Helping Washington State homeowners learn more about their mortgage options.
In this episode of Seattle RE Chat, Jim Reppond of Coldwell Banker Danforth and I discuss what’s going on in the Seattle real estate market, including the lack of inventory.
Side note: if you have been considering selling your home, today’s lack of inventory could make this a prime time for you to sell your home.

In the last episode of Seattle Real Estate Chat, Jim Reppond and I discuss what happens when an appraisal comes in low for a home purchase. Since appraised values are based on comps (recently closed homes), the data used to determine an appraised value is often “lagging” behind current home prices. Factor in bidding wars when prices may be escalated along with HVCC (regulations that do not allow lenders to select appraisers) and it’s not entirely uncommon to have an appraisal come in lower than the offer price.
This week’s episode of Seattle RE Chat featured a special guest, James Mallory, President of Environix. James shared a lot of important information about mold, asbestos and lead, all of which can be potentially be found in Seattle area homes.
