As a good friend of mine put it (too cheerily I think), "what an interesting time to be alive!" It depends on your comfort with ambiguity and uncertainty I guess. But, to be honest, in this economy where we are getting so many mixed signals- the recession is parked/bottoming out/starting recovery; housing is flat/picking up/only deteriorating at a slower pace; we should be optimistic/remain cautious/brace for more to come. One example is the recent article by Anthony Mirhaydari of the strategic Investment newsletter, Housing crisis set to enter new stage. In it, he outlines how the housing upticks we've seen aren't normal, and that foreclosures are starting to spread from subprime mortgages, caused by increases in rates, to prime mortgages, based on lost employment. Meanwhile, global stock markets rose today after upbeat comments from Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke regarding further signs of an improvement in the U.S. housing market (AP news)
How are we supposed to make any sense of all this? I wish that todays blog was to tell you exactly how, but I'm just trying to make a few observations. In general, it seems like things remain pretty tough, but a lot of people have found ways to adjust in order to weather the storm. There was a great article this weekend in the Seattle Times discussing that after the latest credit card cuts- banks freezing limits and closing accounts- they also aren't getting many new customers- people aren't seeking loans or credit from them. People remember the feeling of getting burned, and are learning to adapt so that they won't get burned again.
It feels a lot like people are in a wait and see mode. In the Seattle area, some people are moving up to new homes, some of the really lucky ones are moving into the area with some of the few new jobs we have, some are moving down to save money, some back with parents or with roommates. Many aren't moving at all right now. But with the conventional wisdom that all things that go up must come down; so too must all things that go down also bounce back up. So, my thinking is that we will recover someday; how, how quickly and when- well that's why Ben Bernake earns his pay
Ok, so while the economy does what it's going to do, we have to press on as life continues. For those who are moving, or will be doing so in the future, RD House Property Management has been hard at work putting together a pretty nifty resource- the Rental Guide, that can help those who are moving- whether it be up down or sideways. It's designed as a step guide for uncovering your real needs in a new rental home, using a range of tools to search for one, and tips to make your new surroundings more comfortable. It' full of articles, worksheets, and area information which includes tons of links to neighborhood blogs, city resources and other great stuff so it's a site that is actually interactive and useful in a number of ways- more than just "tips" or ads dressed up as content. For example, there's a detailed article on how to make a budget for yourself, connected to a worksheet that you can print and use. We'll be adding to it with up to date topical information and new resources that develop, so be sure to check it out!

We are super excited to be able to offer this spectacular unit at $2395.00. When I went on the pre-listing tour of the unit this week, it was like I was standing high above Gothan City in someplace Batman would live. Super high tech, views for days, this 19th 1 bedroom, 1.5 bath Emerald City Bruce Wayne feeling unit just sparkles. It's a spacious and peaceful oasis filled with high end amenities including gorgeous granite counters, stainless fridge, wine fridge, wide plank hardwoods, walk in master closet and floor to ceiling windows to soak of the Emerald city at night.
Not only that- rent includes a parking space (for your Batmobile), storage unit, wi-fi, cable and phone and all utilities except electricity. Pets are welcome, and there's NO move in FEE (normally $250)- let's just say Bruce Wayne covered it!
OK, enough with my Batman moment, about the building- the 5th and Madison is the latest in sustainable construction and features many smart, eco-friendly details such as the use of recycled construction materials, a green system for controlling rainwater run-off, air filtration systems and lots of natural light. Architecturally, it's been celebrated as lighter, more airy and graceful, and much more delicately detailed than other entries on the market. Instead of slamming into the street with a colossal thud, it rolls out welcoming gestures -- a Bartell store on the Fifth Avenue side and a pocket park, open to the public.
The firm Ruffcorn Mott Hinthorne Stine of Seattle designed the new building, and Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg of Vancouver, B.C., landscaped the park.
The finlike balconies snapped onto the building's north and east sides add a pleasantly busy hum of texture to the downtown streetscape, and imply a human scale that's absent in the neighboring buildings.
Come and see it for yourself! And check this out- in addition to standard daytime showings, we're also offering Night showings (at 8:45pm) for this unit only. To schedule one, call Ricky D (RD House Real Estate and Property Management, www.rd-house.com) at 206-728-6063.

WOW what a big deal to do this! We started Video taping our rentals- in my very Southern style- and people just love it. We have increased our calls by double some even better than that- In this market we are having to work much harder- to get property rented in our average 22-30 days we have to show 30 to 40 times for some properties to get them to rent
So, welcome to a new and entertaining look at the world of property management! Inside the House is our webisode and blog series coming this May based on the goings on at RD House Property Management. http://www.youtube.com/RDHOUSEREPM
It's sometimes hilarious, sometimes dramatic, but always topical and informative. What are the strangest maintenance requests that tenants have? What happens when a tenant stops paying rent and just disappears? What can go wrong when we're showing a property to a potential tenant? Follow our Broker, Ricky D, and staff, as they navigate the drama, humor and challenges of keeping our properties running in top shape!
"If you can't put a queen size bed in it, it's not a bedroom, it's a closet!" Check out our series promo video- and look for new video websides and blogs arriving weekly starting this May!
