Residential Homes Real Estate Market...The Truth
for Pierce, Thurston and King Counties, Washington.
If you pay attention to the news media, you may be discouraged by all the Real Estate talk.
News media knows...
- Good news does not sell -
The truth is, our local Real Estate market shouldn't be compared on the same level to the national market. Like the "brain child" in school who brings up the grading curve on tests, Washington State is the shining star in the national Real Estate economy.
"Home Prices are projected to increase 3-6 percent in 2009," according to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors.
If you are considering selling, buying, downsizing, moving up...now may be the perfect time.
Don't let the media scare you. You can rely on Trey's understanding of the local market to professionally and effectively manage your Real Estate needs.
Consider The Trey Affolter Team your local Real Estate resource.
- Trey knows Local Real Estate -
Full Time Realtor®
10+ Years Experience
100% Committed to his clients
- Trey Values Your Investment -
Trey's listings average 44 Days on the Market vs. 94 Days market average.
That's 50 days on average less.
Trey's listings sell for 99.5% of list price vs. 97% market average.
$$$$$ THAT'S $6,250 MORE ON A $250,000 HOME!!! $$$$$
- Trey appreciates your referrals -

Family
Friends
Co-Workers
Anyone you know thinking of selling or buying.
