After some back and forth and tweaking and reorganizing, I finally decided to move my photos back over to the MapleValleyPhotos.com website. Sorry for the ping-pong. I hope you&#8217;ll continue to find both sites helpful and interesting. Comments are always welcome!

This beautiful home on 2.4 acres in Maple Valley has a new owner as of today. Selling at a very competitive price of $334,95o. I represented the sellers, wonderful people who unfortunately were riding the crest of the market during it&#8217;s downturn.
Thank you to Nina Matheison of Prudential Northwest for a very smooth cross sale, [...]]]></description>

The real estate industry as a whole has been notorious for looking over it&#8217;s shoulder. We value appraised prices on past sales and analysts look to historical trends to predict future markets. However in these unprecedented times, that practice may not be the wisest or most effective.
More and more, we as an industry are trying [...]]]></description>

Our weather so far in 2010  has been incredible . For the past two days I&#8217;ve been able to turn the furnace down and open the windows to enjoy the 60+ degree afternoons (warmer with the sun streaming through the windows).
Spring seems to be arriving about 4 weeks early here in Maple Valley; plum trees [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s pretty early for me to be evaluating the accuracy of my predictions for the 2010 Maple Valley Real Estate market, but then again we&#8217;re talking about moi.
When I go &#8220;on a diet&#8221;, I weigh myself that afternoon (and the next morning and the next afternoon &#8217;cause you just never know, right?). When we want [...]]]></description>

In honor of having survived completed two decades in service to the real estate industry, I thought I&#8217;d step out on a limb and publish my first ever official list of predictions for our local real estate market here in Maple Valley, WA.

Whether it&#8217;s been the motivation of the first time home buyer tax credit or lower, more affordable prices making it possible for first timers to get into the market, there&#8217;s no doubt the first time home buyer has been driving the market for the last several months.

Normally I like to post photos on my photo blog but this one was just too fun for anyone to miss. I snapped it this Summer while my husband and I were having lunch in Pioneer Square.

This will be my fourth year running that I have been nominated and selected by their committee.

Waiting is hard!
I&#8217;m not a patient person. When I want something, I usually want it now. So I am especially sympathetic to clients during the closing process who are waiting for &#8220;the big day&#8221;. The day of closing when their purchase or sale is final and they can settle in, or get their money and [...]]]></description>
