This beautiful shot is from our home in Issaquah.

By the way, we were showing homes the last couple of days and many sellers are pricing their homes higher than their competition. Selling your home is a game of competition. A serious game if you are a serious seller.
I was asked on the P I blog I write for what makes home prices go up. The answer was simple – multiple offers.
The same goes for going down, multiple options. Our buyers had multiple options on similar properties. They were looking in a certain price range for a home with a swimming pool. The first home they thought they were interested in was soon devalued by $75,000.00. What caused the devalue? The home we went to 2 houses later. The fact they had more than one great option placed the owner of the first home in jeopardy of selling their house to our buyer. That home had been on the market for 280 days, so they obviously had a problem.
We are in a buyers market. Not enough listing agents are receiving offers on their listings. Buyers agents have clients that are in control.
To sell your home and not list your home so it is clearly the best value in its competitive market is asking to just list your home and watch it sit. Sorry for the bad news sellers – welcome to the good news buyers.
