The 2025 real estate market is unlike anything we’ve seen before! Buyers are coming out in droves since November and December—typically the slowest months for real estate—and the momentum is building. Yesterday’s open house had five couples show up, signaling that buyers are back in force. Are you ready to make your move in this unpredictable market? Let’s dive into what’s happening right now and how you can take advantage of it.

There’s no clear consensus on the market: some experts predict a busy summer, while others say it might slow down. But I’m optimistic because I’m seeing the real stats. This is a great year for buyers and sellers—whether you’re looking for a first-time home, an investment property, or ready to sell your home for top dollar, now is the time.

Globally, the economy is in flux. The US dollar is incredibly strong, creating investment opportunities in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. Despite this strength, interest rates are likely to stay high, making real estate the best investment option when you know your numbers and understand location is key.

If you’re thinking about multifamily investments, choose carefully—older buildings with upside potential on rents and minimal structural issues are worth it. But single-family rentals, especially in Washington State in the $400k-$500k range, offer a quick pivot option with great ROI.

For first-time homebuyers, the market is heating up fast. This group is driving demand, and they’re already ahead of the curve. Washington State real estate is thriving, and as a seasoned agent with 13+ years of experience, I can guide you to the best opportunities, whether it’s a waterfront property, commercial investment, or your dream home.

If you’re a seller, now is the perfect time to list. I offer professional photography, virtual tours, and a 20-point marketing strategy to ensure your property sells fast and for top dollar.
