  • Is 2020 the year you needed?

    06/11/2020 Duração: 18min

    In this episode I pose the question, "Is 2020 the year you needed?" As 2020 comes to a close, I think it's a good time for some reflection. Shoot, if this isn't the year to take a step back and adapt, not sure what year will be. I reflect on 4 different categories. What habits did you develop in 2020? How are your finances doing? What about your family? How's your health? I reflect on some of my experiences and hope we can have a conversation on what you took away from this year. 

  • Welcome Back!

    Yo! Welcome to the first episode of Sweat Equity! It's been a long minute, I missed you guys. Life has been nuts! It's 2020 though right? In this first episode of "Sweat Equity", I discuss the plan for the new pod and give a rundown of what I've been up to. Its been an experience! Tons of ups and probably just as many downs.

  • Analysis Paralysis

    06/06/2020 Duração: 10min

    In this episode, I talk about analysis paralysis and how it can hamper people from making moves. Give a Tacoma Market update for May 2020. We saw a 7.7% increase in home values from a year ago. Mention with such high market appreciation year over year, analysis paralysis can be a costly mistake for Tacoma buyers who wait to get in the game. 

  • Rundown of 3 downtown Tacoma Condos

    30/05/2020 Duração: 20min

    In this episode I talk Tacoma Condos! In particular, The Esplanade, The Roberson, and The Marcato. Give a rundown of each building in regards to price, size, amenities, and location. 

  • Seattle to Tacoma

    22/05/2020 Duração: 08min

    In this episode I talk about remote working and how it's contributing to people moving to smaller, more affordable cities. Tacoma being one of them. I share a recent study by Redfin that shows people's intensions on working from home post stay at home restrictions. 43.8% of Seattle employees working from home said they will continue to do so if given the option. Another 39.4% are unsure. With over a $400k difference in median sales between Seattle and Tacoma in April 2020, I would bet we will continue to see people fleeing Seattle for more affordable areas like Tacoma. 

  • Unemployment Thoughts

    16/05/2020 Duração: 13min

    In this episode I talk about unemployment. Dive into Windermere's Chief Economist most recent 2020 job forecast. Predicts we will be looking at an 9.4% unemployment rate come Q4 of 2020. I voice my frustrations.. This isn't a light switch and we can't just turn the lights back on.  Companies will lay employees off, people will be out of work, and we will lose some of our favorite small businesses. Lastly, I give my thoughts on why unemployment won't likely hurt home sellers or market values in Tacoma. 

  • Tacoma Market Update

    09/05/2020 Duração: 12min

    In this episode, I dive into what I'm seeing in the Tacoma Real Estate Market! New inventory was down in April, where only 317 listings hit the market compared to 430 in March.  April's median sales price came in at $355,000, up 12.7% from a year ago. As month's of inventory hangs around .8, Tacoma is still a seller's market where homes are selling for 1.8% more than list price. However, I have seen buyers get better terms of late. As furloughs are lifted, plan to see more buyers entering the market. There's potential for increased amounts inventory this summer and fall. Bank on  sellers getting more comfortable listing as the stay at home order phases out and some sellers who may be forced to sale due to financial hardship.

    11/04/2020 Duração: 11min

    07/04/2020 Duração: 11min

    In this episode I start off talking about 60 degree weather and tans. Tacoma realtors talk a lot about the residential housing market, but what about condos? Deep dive into some stats displaying why I believe condo buyers are having an easier time getting into contracts with better terms. Lastly, for first time home buyers, I give my two cents why getting on the homeownership ladder is important and how a condo purchase may be a great way in doing so! 

  • Covid-19

    11/03/2020 Duração: 11min

    In this episode I recap the weekend, which included date night, some offer writing, and a little break from intermittent fasting. Jump in to the Covid-19 craze. Besides having to go to Fred Meyer rather than Costco for toilet paper, trying not to let it impact the day to day. Taking it seriously, Leanne works at Multi-Care and I understand the severity, but still hitting OTF and enjoying the weekend dining out. Mention Corona's impact on businesses. On the positive side, last week proved a great time to refi and lock in those home loan rates. Keep an eye on them and the stock market.

    11/02/2020 Duração: 16min

    05/02/2020 Duração: 27min

    In this episode I chop it up with Coach Drew! We have a loose conversation and hit on a variety of different topics. Makes sense it's the longest episode to date!
