Welcome to My Washington State Real Estate Market Update | Best Time to Buy or Sell in 2025 Are you thinking about buying a home in Washington State or selling your current property? This video is a must-watch for first-time homebuyers, sellers, and anyone looking to make a move in the current real estate market. Whether you’re ready to list your home, upgrade, or purchase your dream home, I’ve got all the insights you need to make informed decisions in today’s unique market. I’m Ron Rougeaux, your trusted real estate expert here in Washington State.

As a top-tier real estate agent in the state, I break down the facts, so you know exactly what to expect and how to navigate the market to your advantage. Key Takeaways: Low Inventory: Housing inventory levels are still at historic lows, meaning there is a supply-demand imbalance. Buyers are still seeking homes, and motivated sellers can benefit from this. Best Time for First-Time Buyers: With mortgage rates poised to decrease soon, now is one of the best times for first-time buyers to enter the market. Interest rates have plateaued, and the market is showing signs of recovery, especially with sales at their lowest in 30 years. Why Selling is Still a Great Opportunity: Whether your home is move-in ready, freshly updated, or just well-maintained, you can still command a competitive price. Even with lower inventory, buyers are looking for homes that are well-kept and ready to go. Interest Rate Trends: Rates are expected to decline, which could trigger an uptick in market activity. If you’re looking to buy or sell, now is an ideal time to strategize before the potential rate change. Whether You’re Buying or Selling, Now is the Time! The Washington State real estate market offers incredible opportunities for both buyers and sellers. As interest rates trend lower and with limited housing inventory, it’s a fantastic time for buyers to secure a home at the right price, and for sellers to list their homes before the market picks up again. I’ll walk you through how to position yourself to take full advantage of these market conditions. Whether you’re buying your first home or selling your forever home, don’t miss out on the potential of this market. 🔑 Thinking about moving to Washington State?

Yes – Using a real estate agent as a buyer’s agent can provide several significant benefits to protect and assist buyers in the real estate process. Here’s a summary of the key advantages: Market Knowledge: Real estate agents have a deep understanding of the local market, including current trends, property values, and neighborhood dynamics. This knowledge enables them to guide buyers toward neighborhoods that align with their preferences and budget. Negotiation Expertise: A buyer’s agent is skilled in negotiating deals. They can work to secure the best possible price and terms for the buyer, leveraging their experience to navigate through potential obstacles and counteroffers. Access to Listings: Real estate agents often have access to a wide range of properties through multiple listing services (MLS) that may not be readily available to the public. This gives buyers more options and a better chance of finding a property that meets their criteria. Streamlined Process: Buying a home involves a multitude of tasks, paperwork, and deadlines. A buyer’s agent helps streamline the process, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken care of in a timely manner. This reduces stress for the buyer and minimizes the risk of overlooking crucial details. Legal Protection: Real estate transactions involve legal intricacies. A buyer’s agent is knowledgeable about the legal aspects of buying a home and can help ensure that the buyer’s interests are protected. They can advise on contracts, contingencies, and any potential legal issues that may arise. Professional Network: Agents often have a network of professionals, including inspectors, appraisers, and mortgage brokers. This network can be valuable in helping buyers find reputable service providers, ensuring that the necessary inspections are conducted, and facilitating a smooth transaction. Market Analysis: Buyer’s agents can provide comprehensive market analyses, helping buyers understand the fair market value of a property. This information is crucial for making informed decisions and avoiding overpaying for a home. Guidance Through the Process: Purchasing a home can be overwhelming, especially for first-time buyers. A buyer’s agent acts as a guide, explaining each step of the process, answering questions, and providing support to make the experience more manageable. Disclosure Assistance: Agents are familiar with the legal requirements for property disclosures. They can help buyers navigate through seller disclosures, ensuring that they have all the necessary information about a property before making a decision. Time and Energy Savings: By leveraging the expertise of a buyer’s agent, buyers can save time and energy that would otherwise be spent on researching, scheduling appointments, and managing the logistics of the buying process. In summary, having a real estate agent as a buyer’s agent can offer invaluable support, expertise, and protection throughout the home-buying journey, making the process more efficient, less stressful, and increasing the likelihood of a successful and satisfactory transaction.

Is your city on the Opportunity Zone Map? I attached the link below to the Map. What is an Opportunity Zone? Do we need a Airport in Olympia, not Sure? “Opportunity Zones are economically distressed communities, defined by individual census tract, nominated by America’s governors, and certified by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury via his delegation of that authority to the Internal Revenue Service. Under certain conditions, new investments in Opportunity Zones may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. There are 8,764 Opportunity Zones in the United States, many of which have experienced a lack of investment for decades. The Opportunity Zones initiative is not a top-down government program from Washington but an incentive to spur private and public investment in America’s underserved communities”. https://opportunityzones.hud.gov/reso… Ron Rougeaux is based in Olympia but serves all of Washington State!

Right now the sun is shining bright and the weather is hot (smoking hot) and summer is here full force. This is why we live here in the PNW, best summers. You have the mountains on the cascades and olympics glittering bright with the snow reflecting the sun, just enticing you to come hike. With the waves in the Puget sound and rivers and lakes throwing the sun right back at you, saying come in and swim and fish in our waters. Yep nothing better in the summer than in the PNW and with no abundance of mosquitoes at least where we live at the lake. You can just setup your chair and really enjoy one of the last slices of nature before you head to Canada and Alaska. Of course in the high woods and mountains, yes we do have bears and Mountain Lions, coyotes and wolfs.
With real estate I believe everyone has learned or is finally learning – Location is everything. And yes sometimes you can’t get the perfect location. But when you can, nothing is better than that amazing location. In my opinion these are my 3 top locations for a Primary or Investment home.
Waterfront pure and simple. Nothing is better than having water at your back or front door and being about to jump in for a swim or paddle/boat off into the sunset. It is the best spot to be in the hot summer days and everyone will want to becoming over for that bbq and swim/boat time. Now with that said, yes some waterfront is not good. (If you are in a flood zone or a very swampy location). Remember even with waterfront there are prime locations, good spots, and then just okay spots. With regards to the PNW in Washington state we have Salt water and Fresh Water locations. We then can go further with location here in Washington state as we have a lot of choices to pick from. Would you prefer lake or river/stream or would you like salt water bay/sound or oceanfront? This is totally up to you and to be honest, all waterfront in my mind is a solid purchase. Of course there are levels of prime locations on the water front as well. For example on the lake a clean spot for swimming and dock with boating in front of your house is perfect. But as the same lake if it is marshy and you can’t really swim and too shallow for a boat, while again you are waterfront but less desirable location. Budget will also have a huge determining factor on what you can pick/afford. And at the end of the day, I believe water front is 100 times better than a cookie cutter home with pavement and homes all around you.
2. Land and great large raw land with maybe a creek/river or pond or if you are lucky to have large land with salt water. Land is becoming harder and harder to find. There are many factors to why there is less land, the obvious is more people and more people wanting land instead of living downtown or in the cities. The big chunks of raw land that are clean, by clean I mean no wetlands or gophers to stop you from being able to build. Also flat with some hills is good, but steep and extremely hard to build on lots is also not the best. So you will always have different levels of land that is Best to not the best. I will say when the land is private and doesn’t have eye sores around it, being that of either man built/living presence or views such as mud flats or swamps. The really nice pieces of land usually get sold off market to investors/developers or if you are hunting for land, a really good real estate broker will call around for you to see if any owner is looking to sell. Another great way to buy big chunks of raw land is to look for timber land from logging companies. Sometimes these lots are further out in the country. But if you can afford to buy and hold on to the property until it is built up around you or development has come close to the big chunks of land you can make a good penny developing the land or selling to a developer/investor.
3. Downtown Residential/CommericalDowntown Residential/Commerical is amazing and can always be fun and exciting living or living/working close to all the action of a downtown city. Depending where the city is, you can have key locations downtown, if there is water then of course closer to the water or even better on the water is of course the best of the best you can get. If you have a residential of condo on a nice corner spot with restaurants and bars with cute stores, this again is very attractive and definitely helps the value. I really like if you can find a building to buy that has residential on top and a commercial unit on the bottom that you can either rent or use yourself for a business. These always are great buys, but harder to find sometimes. If you are just looking for commercial buildings, I usually recommend making sure the buildings are in key locations, unless they there in gentrification going on through the downtown key areas. These area are called opportunity zones and have awesome tax advantages and if you hold them for a key time period are a great investment, as long as it is just not sitting there vacant.
