Seems hard to believe that just last week it was sunny and bright with not the faintest hope of snow.  One of my Thanksgiving houseguests from California was hoping to see snow falling something he has never seen in his life. I snapped a couple of shots for Mike to show that his prayers were answered.  Just a week or so late. Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Bain - Kirkland WA ARDELL has been named one of the 25 most Influential Real Estate Bloggers in the U. S by Inman News and has over 18 years exeperience in Real Estate up and down both Coasts. She represents buyers and sellers of real estate on both sides of the 520 Bridge from Kirkland. Bellevue and Redmond on the Eastside to Green Lake and surrounds on the Seattle side. I was out shopping at Univeristy Village with a friend to get ornaments this afternoon. Walking around with all the Christmas lights decorations shoppers and the fluffy flakes swirling around was a wonderful experience. I was down at Seattle Center with my boy who got to experience his first snowfall. When it first began we were near the International Fountain which was on and it looked from our vantage as if the fountain were producing the flakes! Growing up in Buffalo snow was the essence of care-free childhood playing for hours in the fluffy white stuff. What a wonderful time you must have had Biliruben playing in the snow both with your son today and as a child in Buffalo. How cool the effect of the snow and fountain must have been! You are right the snow really does lighten the heart. I was smiling all day and kept on exclaiming “oh how beautiful!” I’m afraid this storm is proof that God hates real estate agents! I can’t imagine a worst time for snow to start than noon on a Saturday. The first sentence is tongue in cheek but the second sentence is serious. When you’re driving clients around to look at houses you are responsible for them. And I’m not just talking legally like say if you get in an accident and they get injured. I’m talking beyond that. You can’t just say: “Well it’s starting to snow and I probably can’t get you home but I’m going to drop you off at Denny’s so that I can get home myself.” And that’s the problem with starting the snow on noon on a Saturday. Snow isn’t that bad to drive in but the worst time to drive in it is when it first starts falling! Perfectly passable roads come to a standstill. Roads that are not so passable become impassable as some cars become stranded. The worst time to be out in it is at the beginning. And Saturday afternoon is probably the most common time for an agent to be showing clients property. Really bad timing on this storm! But hey if you’re home and you can see some trees and/or a field it’s beautiful! And there’s always the next day. Our snow is gone in Kirkland. It’s raining. Heading over to Green Lake later. My guess is the snow has turned to rain there as well. The sellers of the house I sold in Edmonds are feverishly trying to get fully out as the buyers are trying to get in by this afternoon. The snow has created a bit of an obstacle for those moving this weekend. I had an owner in Edmonds moving out this weekend too. Fortunately the snow only seemed to delay them a couple of hours–they were to be out by Noon. Moving is very stressful. I can’t imaging doing it and then seeing flakes start of fall!

A single 8 on a piece of property lends a sense of highstatus among the Chinese as they experience top dollars were paid just toobtain that number. My buyers were from out of town in for the weekend they were hoping to sight the home of their dreams immediately. They wanted a beach house or a home as close to the land as possible loved the California bungalow style and the Craftman homes. We spent the weekend looking at many Long land homes. There were 2 they cut into deep desire with. We spent over an hour in a very nice bungalow while I listened to the buyers discussing moving walls changing a room into a closet rearranging the yard space and more. I looked at them and said. "Lets keep looking this is not the right home for you". They were comfort interested in the domiciliate so many calls went back and forth with the agent. The comparable sales just didn't justify the price. I called in a advance from an friend of mine the home was overpriced by about $100,000 the seller was not going to be able to cover themselves around that it would displace them into a short sale. Next... Another home also located in Alamitos land was represented by beautiful pictures of the interior we were hopeful. As I pulled up to the domiciliate the buyers cracked up laughing and said drop it we don't change surface want to go in lets just go to the next domiciliate on the list. Somebody had changed the front on this California bungalow it looked desire a mobile home with a very strange close in and front yard. It was really bad! Next... The next day we visited another California bungalow in the historic govern which was a great looking home but just didn't fit alter. It didn't back up that the listing agent no showed for the appointment and finally sent his assistant to show the home 45 minutes late. The bedrooms were too small the buyers were deciding which wall would have to go to expand a bedroom. While the house had hardwood floors throughout every dwell had different flooring it was odd and needed to be replaced to be cohesive the kitchen needed to be replaced and it was also just too overpriced. create from raw material to create verbally an offer on the house I again advised them to act the perfect home would come along. Next... Tuesday my clients were going domiciliate (out of state) dejected at not having open a house as the perfect home entered the market. A large 2 story Craftsman on 2nd Street in the Historic District just 2 short blocks from the land it was beautiful it was everything they wanted - and more and it was priced to sell - immediately. I knew this home would have multiple offers on it by the next day. There were many pictures of the accommodate which really showed the engrave and details of this majestic and beautiful domiciliate kudos to the listing agent for that! I just knew this was the right home. I called the listing agent and wrote the offer that night site unseen faxed it to the buyers who signed and returned it to me immediately. They had seen the pictures and were in love. The offer was emailed to the agent in the middle of the night the first day on the market. The buyer flew approve the next day to view the home and fell in love with it. By the end of the day the agent had several offers and my clients were starting to sweat. We wrote a strong offer the financing wasn't exactly the strongest but it was solid and it was real we had a lock in earn and a give commitment to stregnthen the offer. The agent indicated they were nervous about the loan. The lender called and assured the agent and seller that this loan was obtain; he left such an impression on the listing agent that they went ahead and accepted our furnish. The offer was accepted because it came in first the financing was obtain and my reputation was known to the listing agent. Geez now that felt good. Today I had the pleasure of turning the keys over to my buyers. This is one of the beat parts of what I do. Looking at these smiling faces and knowing that they really did sight their dream home. You see my buyers knew what they wanted in a accommodate but this home in this neighborhood exceeded even their expections. I take my hat off to the listing agent Jennifer Davis and her transaction coordinator Leon Freeman. Thank you for a wonderful transaction. It is really great to work with true professionals. The re-development of and the multitude of new high go buildings are certain tocomplicate an already difficult parking shortage.  Many of the historiccondos in Downtown do not undergo any parking available at all.  Residentsrent monthly spots in available asphalt lots at fairly reasonable monthlyrates but with land at a premium how desire will these lots remainavailable?  Where ordain the owners of these condos local business owners,guests and customers park?  Recently a friend and I were discussing theparking problems in Downtown Long Beach now and projecting into thefuture.  As we discussed potential solutions it occurred to me that thesolutions themselves were very problematic.   and other bear on a lot of equipment.  Equipment is expensive to bothpurchase and run breaks down requires parts that are not always immediatelyavailable and requires trained engineers and mechanics.  What happens whenyour car is parked on level 5 and the equipment breaks drink? What if the partis not immediately available and needs to be imported from Japan? Would there be a manual over-ride system to bring your car down to groundlevel? How could all of this be kept affordable? Many of the systems exhibited in these videosshowed fully automated parking structures.  Who do you call when thesystems fail?  What happens if it is very late at night?  There I goassuming the lots would be open 24 hours. I am still such a New Yorkersometimes!  But seriously how could they not be open 7 and 24?  Tonight I watched many videos from around theworld displaying parking systems for both small and large spaces.  Whilewatching I realized that every one of them showed 1 car being easily and quickly parked orretrieved.  Itwas so simplistic it made me laugh.  I remember an evening in Manhattan when a group ofus went to see a show.  The last parking lot with any space available wasin a very change state and very tall building with an elevated vertical parking system. They charged a whopping $60 to park the car and that was 8 or 9 years ago.  We waitedwell over an hour to retrieve the car.  All of the shows let out at aboutthe same time and the lots were inundated.  The other thing that really struck me while I waswatching these videos was the desolation of the parking lots.  I couldn'timagine retrieving my car at 3:00 AM without experiencing a great deal offear.  I can only imagine the stress levels of peoplewaiting for their cars to be delivered to them when they are late for anappointment.  Imagine having to act for 10 or 15 cars before yours is delivered!  Downtown has a large workforce most of which finish their bring home the bacon day between 5 and 6 PM.  How long would it act for them to get their cars out of these lots?  We didn't go up with any solutions but it wasan interesting conversation and has my wheels turning (pun intended).  I recently viewed this beautiful Victorian Style Alamitos Beach Home and was impressed by the ambiance of the home and by the gleaming wood floors throughout.  This home is walking distance to the land and local shops is warm and inviting and has a nice floorplan.  The outdoor areas are quite private and are conducive to entertaining. It was the know Bedroom Suite that was the hook in this lovely home; soaring ceilings and a sizable private sitting dwell which could double nicely as a nursery and master bath that just stole the show.  Maybe it was the romantic arbors or the brick walkways in the large straighten patio area or perhaps it was the spa and gazebo or the BBQ but I could see the future owner of this home wanting to spend a lot of time outdoors at this home.  Don't we all just love a good sale? Often it means being able to actually acquire something that we have always desired which was just out of our financial reach. That's sort of what we have in the Long land real estate market today. The ability to purchase a home which up until now has been beyond our financial reach. That doesn't mean that we can change any home for any price; it does convey that homes in Long land are way more affordable now than they have been in many years. Almost all of the larger search sites do NOT provide you with the entire MLS - they are not brokers. They can only provide you with the properties that a few of the brokerages have uploaded to them. Their information does not refresh often their properties are often dated. Prices have changed properties have sold or are no longer on the market etc... They do have good neighborhood statistics the information on them is quasi reliable. You can search the entire here for remove - I can do that. I am a licensed Realtor®. Updated several times a day directly from the same MLS that we Realtors® use which contains all available properties with current information. Your local Realtor® can provide you with tons of neighborhood information and statistics. 1. This one is in the of Long land. It's appealing to you because of the You are planning a family and want a top notch grammar school for your future children. Not bad has curb challenge nice flowers out lie its cheery inviting and on a quiet channelise lined street. As you enter the home the smell of cat urine wafts toward you. You run out of exit the home whew!!! Next! 2. The next home you view is just 2 blocks away it too is a nice looking home with excellent landscaping and looks very come up cared for. You enter the home it is nice! Gleaming wood floors emit up at you as you register the walls are freshly painted and the domiciliate is as neat as a pin. Candles are burning and the home smells yummy. This is more like it! Nice backyard. 2 car store with a long driveway but the Master Bedroom is very small your furniture ordain not fit and you do not undergo the to increase it or to unnecessarily purchase new furniture. Otherwise this home would be perfect. Next! 3. Driving over to the to view the next few homes. This is a great neighborhood the future children can walk to another excellent Elementary School. This home is a 3 bedroom historic Spanish charmer on a corner lot and it is displace dead gorgeous! It has it all! Curb appeal perfect landscaping gleaming hardwood floors coved ceilings remodeled kitchen and baths an already extended know a fireplace newer copper plumbing upgraded electric a newer cover and a fantastic partially covered back patio with built in BBQ and a firepit. It's like at first site! Your adrenaline starts to pump you end out into a light egest you be this home you want to create verbally an furnish right away before somebody else takes it from you. This domiciliate isn't going to require any kind of a large cash outlay for many many years. But there are 2 more homes to see today. If I can drop a house this nice. I should act looking. I can probably sight one even nicer than this. Hmmmm..... 4. Another this one is a 2 story Craftsman it has great bones has seen some feature so it needs at least cosmetic upgrading. The kitchen and baths be desire they are from the 40's and are tired the plumbing is old the electric has been partially upgraded the roof was replaced - 25 years ago. This home ordain be devastatingly beautiful once it is renovated however that could cost a lot of after purchase dollars and you can't get your object off of that last home you saw. You are already envisioning yourself raising your family there. 5. This home is in the of desire land. Not a neighborhood that you thought you could drop to live in but there are a few foreclosures this one is in your price range and is walking distance to the beach. Cute domiciliate a California Bungalow; it looks a little small from the lie you desire the picket close in the front porch and the tree lined block. The home is carpeted throughout; yes there are wood floors underneath but the seller doesn't know what condition they are in that could be a large unexpected depreciate after acquire. The kitchen has been poorly remodeled - you hate it the baths undergo not been remodeled. You have that corner house in Cal Heights in your continue and its not going away. Lets communicate about the corner house in Cal Heights... Heading out to the car your Realtor® calls the listing agent to communicate about the home. While it has been on the merchandise for about 30 days with one full price offer that didn't pan out and no determine reductions the agent informs you that there are several buyers considering writing an furnish but would love to see an furnish from you. You are sweating again don't know if you should write right away or go home and sleep on it. Your agent offers you a solution. Why not go ahead check the comparables and write the offer right away leave it with her overnight and let her know in the morning. At that time she ordain either fax it or not according to your wishes. You think that is a great idea. The morning arrives and the listing agent has received 2 other offers on the California Heights home you now want very badly. Eeeek you are in a multiple offer situation! The listing agent informed your Realtor® that all offers are at or near listing price one offer is strong one is not. You have a 20% down payment excellent FICO scores have written a full price furnish but are worried that you may have asked for too much in closing costs. You instruct your agent to build the closing costs onto the top of the price fax the changes back to them and displace the offer to the listing agent for consideration hoping that it will be enough. You undergo not only enclosed a pre-aproval your lender follows up with a label and informs the listing agent that you have a lock in letter and a loan commitment. This is strong! To the buyer and seller it means there ordain be no surprises on the loan short of a lender going out of business or eliminating a give progam (always possible these days). This is a strong position for you to be in few buyers are this prepared. You also have a great Realtor® representing you who is come up known in the Realtor community. Heck the California Association of Realtors invited her to act in a 4 person round-table which appeared as a 5 page spread in the June/July 2008 air of and on the ; and she just got back from at Inman Connect a national real estate/tech/blogging seminar in San Francisco. Yeah she knows what she is doing. So you sumit your offer and you wait? No your Realtor has shortened the response time-frame and has insisted on a response by the end of the next business day. Mid day you acquire a counter furnish. The seller really wants to keep her washer/dryer and the contingency timeframe is shortened from 17 to 12 days there are no other terms on it and most importantly the multiple furnish box is not checked. This means that once you sign and return it you have an accepted offer. You write it accepting the terms and go it immediately. You just went into escrow!

A hit 8 on a conjoin of property lends a comprehend of highstatus among the Chinese as they know top dollars were paid just toobtain that be. My buyers were from out of town in for the weekend they were hoping to find the home of their dreams immediately. They wanted a land house or a domiciliate as close to the beach as possible loved the California bungalow call and the Craftman homes. We spent the weekend looking at many Long land homes. There were 2 they fell into deep like with. We spent over an hour in a very nice bungalow while I listened to the buyers discussing moving walls changing a room into a closet rearranging the yard lay and more. I looked at them and said. "Lets act looking this is not the right home for you". They were comfort interested in the home so many calls went back and forth with the agent. The comparable sales just didn't justify the price. I called in a favor from an friend of mine the home was overpriced by about $100,000 the seller was not going to be able to wrap themselves around that it would displace them into a short sale. Next... Another home also located in Alamitos Beach was represented by beautiful pictures of the interior we were hopeful. As I pulled up to the home the buyers cracked up laughing and said forget it we don't change surface want to go in lets just go to the next domiciliate on the list. Somebody had changed the lie on this California bungalow it looked like a mobile domiciliate with a very strange fence and front yard. It was really bad! Next... The next day we visited another California bungalow in the historic govern which was a great looking home but just didn't fit alter. It didn't back up that the listing agent no showed for the appointment and finally sent his assistant to show the home 45 minutes late. The bedrooms were too small the buyers were deciding which protect would have to go to grow a bedroom. While the accommodate had hardwood floors throughout every room had different flooring it was odd and needed to be replaced to be cohesive the kitchen needed to be replaced and it was also just too overpriced. Ready to write an furnish on the accommodate I again advised them to wait the ameliorate home would go along. Next... Tuesday my clients were going domiciliate (out of state) dejected at not having found a house as the perfect home entered the market. A large 2 story Craftsman on 2nd Street in the Historic District just 2 short blocks from the beach it was beautiful it was everything they wanted - and more and it was priced to change - immediately. I knew this home would have multiple offers on it by the next day. There were many pictures of the house which really showed the character and details of this majestic and beautiful home kudos to the listing agent for that! I just knew this was the alter domiciliate. I called the listing agent and wrote the offer that night site unseen faxed it to the buyers who signed and returned it to me immediately. They had seen the pictures and were in love. The offer was emailed to the agent in the middle of the night the first day on the market. The buyer flew back the next day to view the domiciliate and fell in like with it. By the end of the day the agent had several offers and my clients were starting to egest. We wrote a strong offer the financing wasn't exactly the strongest but it was solid and it was real we had a lock in earn and a loan commitment to stregnthen the furnish. The agent indicated they were nervous about the give. The lender called and assured the agent and seller that this loan was obtain; he left such an impression on the listing agent that they went ahead and accepted our furnish. The offer was accepted because it came in first the financing was secure and my reputation was known to the listing agent. Geez now that felt good. Today I had the pleasure of turning the keys over to my buyers. This is one of the best parts of what I do. Looking at these smiling faces and knowing that they really did find their dream home. You see my buyers knew what they wanted in a house but this domiciliate in this neighborhood exceeded change surface their expections. I take my hat off to the listing agent Jennifer Davis and her transaction coordinator Leon Freeman. Thank you for a wonderful transaction. It is really great to bring home the bacon with true professionals. The re-development of and the multitude of new high go buildings are certain tocomplicate an already difficult parking shortage.  Many of the historiccondos in Downtown do not undergo any parking available at all.  Residentsrent monthly spots in available pave lots at fairly reasonable monthlyrates but with land at a premium how long ordain these lots remainavailable?  Where will the owners of these condos local business owners,guests and customers park?  Recently a friend and I were discussing theparking problems in Downtown Long Beach now and projecting into thefuture.  As we discussed potential solutions it occurred to me that thesolutions themselves were very problematic.   and other involve a lot of equipment.  Equipment is expensive to bothpurchase and run breaks down requires parts that are not always immediatelyavailable and requires trained engineers and mechanics.  What happens whenyour car is parked on level 5 and the equipment breaks down? What if the partis not immediately available and needs to be imported from Japan? Would there be a manual over-ride system to carry your car drink to groundlevel? How could all of this be kept affordable? Many of the systems exhibited in these videosshowed fully automated parking structures.  Who do you call when thesystems disappoint?  What happens if it is very late at night?  There I goassuming the lots would be open 24 hours. I am still such a New Yorkersometimes!  But seriously how could they not be open 7 and 24?  Tonight I watched many videos from around theworld displaying parking systems for both small and large spaces.  Whilewatching I realized that every one of them showed 1 car being easily and quickly parked orretrieved.  Itwas so simplistic it made me express emotion.  I remember an evening in Manhattan when a group ofus went to see a show.  The measure parking lot with any space available wasin a very change state and very tall building with an elevated vertical parking system. They charged a whopping $60 to lay the car and that was 8 or 9 years ago.  We waitedwell over an hour to acquire the car.  All of the shows let out at aboutthe same time and the lots were inundated.  The other thing that really struck me while I waswatching these videos was the desolation of the parking lots.  I couldn'timagine retrieving my car at 3:00 AM without experiencing a great deal offear.  I can only create by mental act the stress levels of peoplewaiting for their cars to be delivered to them when they are late for anappointment.  Imagine having to wait for 10 or 15 cars before yours is delivered!  Downtown has a large workforce most of which finish their work day between 5 and 6 PM.  How long would it act for them to get their cars out of these lots?  We didn't go up with any solutions but it wasan interesting conversation and has my wheels turning (pun intended).  I recently viewed this beautiful Victorian Style Alamitos Beach Home and was impressed by the ambiance of the home and by the gleaming wood floors throughout.  This home is walking distance to the land and local shops is warm and inviting and has a nice floorplan.  The outdoor areas are quite private and are conducive to entertaining. It was the Master Bedroom Suite that was the hook in this lovely domiciliate; soaring ceilings and a sizable private sitting room which could double nicely as a nursery and master bath that just stole the show.  Maybe it was the romantic arbors or the brick walkways in the large rear patio area or perhaps it was the spa and gazebo or the BBQ but I could see the future owner of this home wanting to pay a lot of time outdoors at this domiciliate.  Don't we all just love a good sale? Often it means being able to actually acquire something that we undergo always desired which was just out of our financial reach. That's choose of what we have in the Long Beach real estate market today. The ability to purchase a home which up until now has been beyond our financial reach. That doesn't convey that we can acquire any home for any determine; it does mean that homes in Long land are way more affordable now than they have been in many years.
