David Weekley Homes’ Post

Yes, that first picture really is our first home in West Seattle that we bought waaaaaay back when we were babies and only 22 years young - all 980 square feet of it! We knew it was smart to invest in the housing market - even though the home we were able to afford at the time was "as is" and really tiny. We ate off of a card table in the kitchen for all the years we lived there. The back room of the home was really a garage that had the door nailed in place and was not insulated - so we didn't use it during the colder months. The kitchen needed redoing. BUT, there were hardwood floors and we had a view of Mt Rainier out of our front window! A first home is often just a foot in the door to the housing market and building generational wealth. If I could, I'd pass along these insights to the younger version of myself – the things I definitely didn't know before I purchased my first home. If you're considering buying your first home and have a few worries, I get it. It’s a huge step that shouldn’t be taken lightly! #FirstTimeHomeBuyer #HomeownershipTips #LakeOswegoRealtor #OregonRealEstate #WestSeattleHomes #StarterHomes #RealEstateInvestment #BuildingWealth #GenerationalWealth #MaintenanceCosts #HomeBudgeting #HighYieldSavings #Stability #OwnerOccupied #MonthlyExpenses #PredictableCosts #HomeValueAppreciation #SmartInvestment #RealEstateData #BuyerGuideFreebie #BuyerResources #RealtorAdvice #RealEstateJourney #FirstHomeMemories #LivingTiny #windermere #windermererealtytrust #windermerelakeoswego #allinforyou #lakeoswegorealestate If you need a guiding hand, comment “home” to grab my free Buyer Guide, it’s a compilation of all that I’ve learned along the way!

We’ve all heard the saying in real estate, “Location, location, location!” And while I tend to agree that location is important, I know that the right house with the right finishes is also really important to get a top dollar sale. My friends Nathan and Amanda tried selling this house more than a year ago with another agent and were unsuccessful. After some time passed, they enlisted my help to get the job done. I suggested several strategic updates that would not only freshen the home up, but yield big returns! Thankfully, they trusted my lead, and we got them $35,000 more than they originally planned when they tried selling it a year ago! The only complaint they had: “We wish we would have done these upgrades when we still lived there.” Lesson to remember: Location is important, but so are the strategic updates that I can facilitate AFFORDABLY to make it a hassle free experience! #yourjourney #myjourney #ourjourney #bilingualrealestatepro #sellingintn #sellinginga #sold #chattanoogarealestate #realestate #chattanooga #martinezproperties #makingdreamscometrue #buildingrelationships #servingothers #givingback

What goes down, comes back up! May of 2022, Las Vegas saw home values hit $481,000, an all-time record. From there, we had a plummet all the way down to just about $410,000 in a 5 month period. But once the dust settled, we saw resilience, followed by growth. We are now less than 2% from our high, as the rest of the country is seeing pullbacks and rising inventories. What makes Las Vegas housing different? Our demand is fueled by thousands of people relocating to our valley and several years of under building of new homes. Yes, all the construction you see these days is still less than what is needed. Where do you think prices are heading in Las Vegas? Zahler Properties B.144058
