I do love showing homes to buyers in any area of Puget Sound. This last week I showed in Poulsbo, Maple Valley, Port Orchard and Covington. I always find homes that I would love to purchase. Homes that I can see the vision for and homes that I would love to live in. Its a good thing that I just can't buy a bunch of homes because I am afraid I would be a home hoarder! Yeah, I watch that show! 
During the month of December there were 48 homes that sold in Maple Valley, Washington. These homes all have the city listed as Maple Valley. If you would like to see stats for an individual neighborhood just fill out the form below and we can get the information to you. These Maple Valley WA homes actually had a transfer of home ownership. Contracts complete and Lender funds available. The home buyer and seller signed all of their documents prepared by escrow for closing packages. Once all the I’s were dotted and the T’s crossed there where deeds recorded at the King County courthouse that transferred the property into the new home owner’s name!
If you want to learn more about how we transfer property in Washington State a really great site to visit is the Escrow Association of Washington site. There you can find definitions and explanations of the home buying process for Auburn Washington.
Let’s look at those 48 Maple Valley homes -

Not a bad time to purchase a home in Maple Valley, Washington. Prices are down, interest rates are at an all time low you might want to look at what it means to you.
What do these numbers mean? Is it a good time to buy? Is it a good time to sell. It all depends on your individual situation. I would rather buy in a buyers market and I would rather sell in a buyers market if I have to buy another home with the proceeds. I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.
