Is 2013 the Year to Sell Your Home?
The Western Washington Real Estate market has changed dramatically for the better, and it almost seems like it is being kept a secret. Many of us are not aware that the housing inventory, in the area within 30-45 minutes of JBLM, has dropped by 60% during the course of 2012.
The Growth of JBLM has been the driving factor in this year’s recovery of the housing market. The installation has more than doubled in the past few years, and we currently host an active duty population of about 40,000. We still have new units slated to move to Ft Lewis, and lots of soldiers re-deploying this winter who will be interested in buying a home come spring.
This past Christmas, we had approximately 9 months of housing “inventory” available in Pierce and Thurston Counties… priced below $300K. Today the inventory number is closer to 3 months. In addition, prices have crept up about 1% per month since June, and the trend appears to be continuing into the winter…IOW, the market is more active than normal for this time of year…especially for the past few years.
If you are considering selling your home, I encourage you to expose it to the Service Members of JBLM. During the late fall and early winter, Soldiers and Airmen are receiving orders with report dates next spring. If you hope to sell in 2013, you should put your home on the market after the holidays, price it and show it well, and a ready, willing and able buyer will come.
