Bellevue Washington Has A Strong Week in Pending Sales, Presented by John Fiala
This chart looks at the active listings and pending sales for the date from 10/15/12 to 10/21/12. 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.
If you have “Bellevue” in your address, your area had the highest percentage of homes go under contract for the week at 17%. Normally that title goes to North Seattle. Notice in Bellevue the price range from $250,000 to $349,999. There were five homes in each price range at the start of the week and by the end of the week, four of them were under contract with only one still Active. If you are a seller in that price range, the fish are biting. Buyers, you have competition in that price range in Bellevue.

Emerald Heights Academy
I had the chance to speak at a leadership breakfast yesterday for the Emerald Heights Academy. I was able to share stories of my past career in athletics about life lessons, leadership and faith. During the breakfast, there were two middle school kids that gave speeches about leadership. I was blown away by how poised and carefully crafted their speeches were. You are doing a great job Emerald Heights Academy!

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.
Signed contracts, highest in nearly two years
The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes rose in January to the highest level in nearly two years. It is good to see the media reporting some positive news about real estate.
