Puget Sound is Growing Exponentially 

The change in population in the Puget Sound area has continued to grow exponentially. Nearly 200 people are coming to the area each day to find residences. There were 16,900 people added to Seattle between 2018-19. Bellevue grew by 2,900 people and Tacoma by 2,300. What does this mean for our area? Changes are taking place each day to accommodate the significant increase in population, and plans are being made to prepare for our future--even thirty years out.

Detached Accessory Dwelling Units

Backyard cottages, technically referred to as detached accessory dwelling units (DADUs), are about to have some process changes implemented by Seattle's City Council. These changes will bring a more streamlined and more straightforward process, along with a much more predictable permitting process for builders and homeowners. Read more about the effort to improve the process here.

iBuyers vs. Realtors


With iBuyers on the rise and the realization that they're not going anywhere, it is the perfect time to stop and reflect on how we are educating our clients. Do you want to leave it up to someone else, or do you want to take hold of those reins and educate your client on purchasing a home? If you find yourself with a client who is considering an iBuyer, we have an excellent resource for you. Rainier One has calculators for you to enter data to show what the real cost will be to the client by using an iBuyer for "convenience" versus a Realtor.
