Fair Market Value Pushed Up by Shrinking Inventory

Wednesday, 24 December 2014 by Chuck Marunde

The fair market value of home prices is determined by supply and demand. That is fundamental economics. But something unique is happening to Sequim and Port Angeles real estate prices that you may want to know. When supply decreases over a period of time and demand remains steady, prices will be pushed up. That’s logical, but there’s another

Tipping Point

Is Sequim Reaching the Tipping Point?

Thursday, 03 July 2014 by Chuck Marunde

Sequim is approaching a tipping point in the real estate market, and we may be there now. There is actually more than one tipping point, but they are both connected. This has so much relevance for buyers today. Over a year ago I wrote that Sequim real estate prices had stabilized over the previous year, and

Buyers Lose as They Procrastinate for Days or Weeks

Tuesday, 10 June 2014 by Chuck Marunde

Buyers lose in Sequim every week as other buyers move in ahead of them and submit an offer first. It wasn’t like this during the past six or seven years of the recession. We always had plenty of time, and taking days or even a couple of weeks to make a decision on an offer

Sequim Washington is Growing

Wednesday, 03 August 2011 by Chuck Marunde

Sequim Washington is growing even in this national recession.  How is that possible?  Sequim is a very healthy little economy.  One of the reasons it is a healthy economy is because Sequim has been a retirement community for decades, and the retirees who move here tend to be conservative financially, and have not refinanced their

Super Buyer’s Market with Real Estate Market Collapse

Friday, 14 January 2011 by Chuck Marunde

We are in a buyer’s market with the real estate market collapse.  While that might be obvious, it is much more of a buyer’s market than many realize.  This is what I would call a Super Buyer’s Market.  But it’s not a buyer’s market for any buyer.  Mortgage financing has gotten much more difficult to

Lowest Mortgage Interest Rates in 50 Years

Wednesday, 08 April 2009 by Chuck Marunde

Click on Image to Enlarge In the early 1960’s a loaf of bread was 35 cents, a dozen eggs 50 cents, a gallon of milk 75 cents, and a postage stamp was only 5 cents.   A 30 year fixed rate mortgage was in the 5% range.   Today that same mortgage interest rate is

Do Sequim Realtors Say It’s Time to Buy?

Wednesday, 07 January 2009 by Chuck Marunde

Sequim Realtors have differing opinions about the timing here:   is now the time to buy a home or should a person wait for a while?   Someone once posted a comment that Realtors always say it’s time to buy.   Well, there’s some truth to that, but it’s not true. I’m more interested in

What the Market Crash Taught Me About Real Estate

Sunday, 16 November 2008 by Chuck Marunde

The real estate market has taken a serious beating these past months, and the U.S. economy appears to be chaotic at best. I’ve been watching real estate cycles for 30 years, and I’ve learned four important lessons in this market. Lesson Number 1. The national real estate market has very little to do with a

Buyers Asking, “Should I Buy Now?”

Wednesday, 29 October 2008 by Chuck Marunde

Buyers are asking if they should buy now or wait, whether we are at a bottom in prices or have further to drop.   It’s a logical question, one that investors in the stock market are asking with great fervency lately. In an earlier article entitled Distinguish the Market and One House I wrote: When

From Los Angeles

It's rare, but once in awhile life provides the perfect collaborator for an important endeavor such as buying your new home. For me that person was Chuck Marunde. His two decade background as a Real Estate Attorney, his prolific career as an author of articles and books on Real Estate and his forthright and moral character made choosing Chuck a no-brainer. Chuck is dedicated, thorough, incredible at the negotiating table, knowledgeable about all local laws & regs but, most importantly, Chuck loves what he does. And what he does is find his client the perfect property. Chuck isn't about making the sale, he's about making the sale that is OPTIMUM for his CLIENT and this makes Chuck a rare bird indeed. I love my new home in Sequim and I am indebted to Chuck for making it happen. Kevin E.

From Seattle

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chuck over the past three years in selling my parent's estate. It was a tough time to sell during the housing recession, but Chuck always kept things on the positive side. With his real estate law background, he offers sound, practical advice. He helps you along with the process using discussions and reason, rather than opinions and speculations. If Chuck doesn’t know the answers, he will get them for you. In several instances, Chuck took the initiative to meet with county officials to get up-to-date facts about zoning and regulations. I was always impressed with his company’s tech savvy communi-cations and internet presence: weekly email updates, blogs, videos, links, Linked-in networking, etc. He is truly pioneering the future of buying & selling real estate. Brian M.

From California

"Andy Romano is a successful motion picture character actor with over 40 years in 'the Biz.' Mr. Romano has a home in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, but he chooses to live most of the time in Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula in the great Pacific Northwest. Why? In his own words, 'Because it's even more beautiful and surrounded by more beauty in this incredibly peaceful and quiet place. With respect to real estate agents or brokers, well my friend Chuck Marunde, owner of Sequim and Port Angeles Real Estate, is hands down the best there" Andy R.
