Summer Issue of RESIDE Magazine

These are the days that keep us going in the Pacific Northwest amid the darkest days of January and the persistent drizzle of March: summertime. It's finally that time of year, with the bluest hues across the sky and the shimmering sea of the Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and beyond.

Our real estate market, too, is feeling the heat. Buyers looking to take advantage of record low borrowing rates have descended upon the market, and a scarcity of inventory has favored sellers who are frequently faced with several offers. Home prices are up across the region compared to this time last year, with Seattle experiencing an eight percent increase, Bainbridge Island seeing a sixteen percent increase, and properties on the Eastside seeing a more than thirty percent increase. You can arrange your house to sell for the best price with the help of a local specialist, such as Realogics Sotheby's International Realty's team of global real estate consultants, and buyers can submit a winning offer on their dream home.

Terry Crews discusses his five favorite things in this issue of RESIDE, we look at Mediterranean-style homes that will make you feel like you're on vacation all year, Terry McMillan takes beach reading to the next level, and so much more.

We invite you to experience RESIDE®.
