Size, Condition, Versus Location - Make a Choice

In real estate, it is all about size, condition, or location REGARDLESS of your budget. Home buyers are often in a process of compromising what they want in order to buy a home. It is rare to find a home that fits all three perfectly.

This isn’t cause for despair. Even in a slow market, finding a home that satisfies two out of three (size, condition, location) is a great thing. Savvy home buyers and owners will even find unexpected benefits and solutions to the things that they considered less than perfect. With the right mindset, tenacity, and an experienced real estate pro, you can win in Seattle’s competitive real estate market and fall in love with your own home.

What are your top two - Size, Condition, or Location?

NEW Blog Post - Tiny Homes in Seattle. Smaller homes are not only good for the environment but they also provide buyers with an affordable option in more urban dense neighborhoods. A tiny house can be anything from a cottage, a studio condo, or a detached apartment in someone’s backyard. Seattle is finally catching on that we need more creative ways of adding density to more transit friendly neighborhoods. The Diva @seattlediva does an amazing job going into detail about Tiny Homes and their benefits on the blog.
