Every house we've had interest in has gone pending before we can even think about making an offer. There are now BIDDING WARS going on with multiple offers and back up offers.

I have two friends here (Seattle) in the business. Art called yesterday to tell me about a house - and then said a house he just listed at 1.3 million - had FIVE full price offers and one offer at 1.4 million.

Remember that the list of LARGE companies that are doing well headquartered here in the Seattle area will blow your mind... it's just that people don't think about lowly Seattle as ANYONES headquarters for anything.... but it is. High pay - high quality jobs make high priced housing.
