Moving into 2024, we’re seeing a number of hopeful signs of an economy and real estate market that are poised to make a strong showing this Spring and into the rest of the year.

Inflation  2.7% | Down from 5.9% a year ago. Still, prices are 18% higher than 2019 but so much better.

GDP (Gross Domestic Product)  3.3% | Better than expected. Sweet spot for Fed to start lowering rates, not to much not too little, a stable economy.

Unemployment  3.7% | Still at historic lows.

Real Wage Growth  5.2% | Outpacing Inflation since February 2023, see graph below.

And most importantly for the real estate market – Interest Rates  6.6% | Projected to continue down in 2024!

 

American consumers haven’t felt this good about the direction of the economy in years.That may signal the end of what some had come to call a “vibes-cession,” where, despite decades-low unemployment and falling inflation, something still felt a bit off about the economy. – ‘NBC News’

We’re excited to launch 2024 off with a new designation for J&J Real Estate as
Residential Remodeling Specialists® RRS® 

The RRS® will support our homeowners, buyers and sellers with real world advice and cost estimates on any home remodeling project. We develop a pre & post valuation specific to your home to show how much the improvements increase the overall value & equity in your property. 

For sellers, a RVA, remodel value analysis, can help them explore how home improvements will add to the final sales price and decrease the time to sell!  

For buyers, we can do a RVA, including all cost info, on any home you’re considering so you can decide which property will ultimately be the right one for you.

We even have the list of contractors, lenders and all the vendors you’ll need to complete your project!

First Time Home Buyer – Elizabeth

Bathroom – BEFORE

Bathroom – AFTER

We’re so excited to start 2024 off with a new designation for J&J Real Estate.

We are now Residential Remodeling Specialists® RRS® 

 

Helping first time homebuyers is one of the most rewarding parts of our business.

Elizabeth (and her parents) was so proud to get her first home in the competitive Seattle market.

 

Elizabeth’s story

Her first place, a condo in NE Seattle, was mostly updated but she wanted a more modern and welcoming bathroom.

We talked to her about current style trends like wall papering one accent wall in a small space to make it feel larger and more finished. And how simply swapping out cabinet hardware & lights is inexpensive but gives a big wow to any makeover.

She went to work as soon as she got the keys and sent us these great before & after photos of a job well done!

It really shows that even on a tight budget, remodeling & updating your space is possible and adds so much to your enjoyment of the home.

Congratulations Elizabeth.

 

Our process for buyers includes:

  • RVA – Remodeling Value Analysis on any property the buyer is considering.
  • Pre & post home valuation, how much will remodeling increase your home’s value.
  • Remodeling cost estimates, accurate costs with our RRStimate tool
  • Connection to local contractors to complete the work
  • Help Buyer decide which remodeled property works best for them
  • Use our ‘Guaranteed Buyer’ program to help them get the home of their dreams!

 

Let us show you how using our RVA and Guaranteed Buyer programs help you win and get that home,

BEFORE

AFTER

We’re so excited to start 2024 off with a new designation for J&J Real Estate.

We are now Residential Remodeling Specialists® RRS® 

One of the most impactful things this new designation does for our seller clients is to show them how much home improvements will add to their final sales price and decrease their time to sell!

The before & after below is from our friends, the Divakar’s. We helped sell their mid-century home last year and the remodeling transformation was dramatic.

The Divakar’s story

We started a few months before they went on the market with a walkthrough evaluation of the current condition of their home.

We helped them identify the areas of their home that would benefit most from remodeling & updating and offer them the most return on their investment. The kitchen was mostly original so we showed them examples of how painting cabinets & walls as well as new floors & lighting would increase their final sales price. We also researched the cost of these improvements and connected them to local contractors to get the work done quickly.

Cosmetic changes like these (no structural changes needed) are more affordable than most clients realize and offer a huge improvement in that important first impression. We think you’ll agree that this kitchen’s before & after is stunning!

Our process for sellers includes:

  • Pre & post home valuation, how much will remodeling increase your home’s value
  • Thorough home evaluation with remodeling suggestions (RVA – Remodeling Value Analysis)
  • Remodeling cost estimates, accurate costs with our RRStimate tool
  • Connection to local contractors to complete the work
  • Total marketing campaign to get your home sold quickly and for top dollar

 

Reach out to us soon for your personalized RVA,

This month’s talking points from our Windermere Statistics folks shows how interest rates are declining and how high rates have stalled the real estate market in the Seattle/King Co. area this year.

Moving into 2024, we can expect a return to our ‘normal’ market of buyers starting to look and sellers beginning to prep to sell in 2-3 months.

Happy Holidays!
