Who doesn’t love a good scare every now and then? One of the best parts about fall is the chance to celebrate Halloween. While some folks are in it for the costumes and bags of candy, the eerie spirit of the season also sparks some imaginative home decorations. From the creatively crafted to the downright fright-inducing, there’s no shortage of spooktacular stylings out there...

Eastern Washington Real Estate Market Update

Thumb_18314_ewa_gardnerreportq3_masthead

Posted in Eastern Washington Real Estate Market Update by Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate


Washington State continues to be one of the fastest growing states in the nation and there is little to suggest that there will be any marked slowdown in the foreseeable future. Over the past year, the state has added 105,900 new jobs, representing an annual growth rate of 3.2%. This remains well above the national rate of 1.65%. Private sector employment gains continue to be...

Colorado Real Estate Market Update

Thumb_18313_co_gardnerreportq3_masthead

Posted in Colorado Real Estate Market Update by Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate


The Colorado economy continues to perform quite well, having added 72,200 non-agricultural jobs over the past 12 months — a solid growth rate of 2.7%. Through the first eight months of 2018, the state has added an average of 6,700 new jobs per month. There has been a modest slowdown in employment gains, but I really don’t think this is a cause for concern and still hold to my forecast that...

Nevada Real Estate Market Update

Thumb_18312_nevadagardnerreportq3_masthead

Posted in Nevada Real Estate Market Update by Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate


Job growth in the Las Vegas metropolitan area continues at a very brisk pace. A total of 32,300 new jobs were added over the past 12 months, representing a very strong annual growth rate of 3.3%. For perspective, the U.S. as a whole is growing at around 1.6%, or half the rate of Las Vegas. Even as jobs are added to the local economy, the unemployment rate is still higher than one would expect...

Southern California Real Estate Market Update

Thumb_18311_socal_gardnerreportq3_masthead

Posted in Southern California Real Estate Market Update by Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate


The counties covered by this report—Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, Orange, and Riverside—added a very modest 47,400 new jobs between August 2017 and August 2018. Even as job growth slowed, the unemployment rate dropped from 4.9% to 4.4%. Employment growth in Southern California has started to taper, due primarily to a slowing in employment gains in the large Los Angeles County market...

Don't Get Spooked! These Are a Buyer's Warning Signs of a Haunted House

Thumb_house-3126362_1280

Posted in Buying by John Trupin


While you hear a lot about ghosts in October, they’re actually a year-round phenomenon (and they’re not all as friendly as Casper). Specters come in all shapes and sizes in real estate, and they can be spookiest to prospective buyers.
