Are you feeling the shift in the market? I think most people in the housing market have felt a shift in the Pierce County housing market, and all of a sudden see homes featured on the market for a little longer, and the notion that buyers didn’t have many options has dissipated for the time being.
Recently, Windermere Abode hosted Kyle Rohrbaugh, Branch Manager at RPM Mortgage in Gig Harbor, WA, to talk about the market, the history, and how he sees it playing out. Kyle is an experienced lender in the Puget Sound.

Jiquanda shares a little bit about herself, and provides great insight about our biases and how to address them. Jiquanda has been featured on the podcast before, check it out here.
If you have felt the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion conversation has stopped, or things aren't happening in your world, this is a great podcast to remember how much work we have to do individually and as a group. Our hope is it inspires you to keep the ball rolling, making intentional actions even when it's not the topic of national conversation (our lack of doing the work is how it constantly becomes a national conversation).

Effective October 1st, the Northwest Multiple Listing Service made some rule changes regarding the selling office commission (SOC). The first rule allows real estate firms and brokers to publish the offer of compensation to the buyer's broker on the firms' and brokers' office websites, and other places you can find the listings online. The second rule removes the requirement that a listing contain an offer of compensation to the buyer's broker. If a listing does not contain an offer of compensation, the revised rule allows the buyer and the buyer's broker the opportunity, as a part of the buyer's offer, to negotiate for compensation for the buyer's broker.
Did you get all that? No worries, Stephanie Spiro and Sloan Hunter take time to explain their thoughts and considerations buyers, sellers, and even real estate agents should take into account moving forward.

Is Tacoma really unaffordable? Recently, Redfin published an article citing Tacoma as the 'Nations Hottest Market' this Spring based on median days on the market, and the percentage of homes selling over list price.
Dave and Abode realtor Jenny Wetzel sit down to talk about a blog post she wrote regarding the article, and how 'affordability' in Tacoma can be viewed in another light.
We also learn about Jenny's former job and how she caught a pregnant woman stealing, her favorite style of Tacoma home, and some considerations for people looking at Tacoma as a future landing spot to live.
