Cleaning the Refrigerator and Other News

It's been some time since I've updated this blog as some wonderful life events have happened since my last posting. Now I am back and here I go again in an attempt to bring my loyal readers some useful information.

What better place to start than the refrigerator. Mine definitely needs a good cleaning and I thought you'd find great value in these very handy tips as well.

Some takeaways from the article:

• Toss out any food that is weeks or months past the expiration date. Check the link above for useful information regarding meats. You don't want to keep those weeks past the expiration date.
• Keep food that will expire first closer to the front. The more you see it, the better chances you'll remember it's there.
• You can clean the shelves and drawers with a simple mix of vinegar and warm water.

One more thing to check off the list as we get ready for Thanksgiving!

Market Changes in the Last Year

Every so often I receive this great visual of months supply of residential inventory for King and Snohomish Counties. Anything in RED indicates a seller's market (0-3 months of supply), YELLOW is balanced (3-6 months) and GREEN indicates a buyer's market (6+ months supply).

Check out how the market has changed in the last year:

Sold in 11 Days! Sundance at Klahanie Condo

I am excited to announce that I just sold this Issaquah condo in 11 days! When we first listed the home, the sellers kept jokingly pressuring me to find a buyer quickly, since another unit in the complex had just sold in a very short period of time. I'm so happy that it became a wonderful reality for my sellers too!
