Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – May 2023 As the weather warms, so too does our real estate market, it seems. With dwindling inventory and climbing prices, the housing market is on an upswing, even if it’s a small one.

This stands in contrast to the early months of 2022, which […]
Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – December 2022 As temperatures drop and we approach the end of the year, the local housing market has remained somewhat sluggish — an indication of a return to normal seasonality.
