Active Listing vs. Pending Sales for 3-11-12 Video

This video looks at the active listings and pending sales for the date of 3-11-12. The pending sales (under contract) are for the previous seven days.  This shows where the market is hot and who can have an advantage in the market by location and price point, essentially where the fish are biting in real estate.

Bellevue had three Sellers markets this week which you can see in the red areas and Central Seattle had an active week for homes going under contract in the higher price ranges. Overall, the five areas that I track on this report, North Seattle had the highest ratios of homes going under contract last week.

Life Lessons Through Sports

I had the privilege to speak to a 9th grade basketball team last night. It was inspiring to see the hope and willingness in their eyes to become better athletes and men. I love the side of athletics that teaches you life lessons while you play your sport. The lessons that you learn in sports are used every day in normal situations. What a great way to help prepare for life.
