ONE IN FOUR LOCAL HOUSES SOLD FOR OVER LIST PRICE IN APRIL

We’ve been hearing a lot about how much hotter this spring has been than spring in other recent years, and the stories of bidding wars seem to be getting more frequent. Below is a visual picture of the trend by plotting the percentage of houses that sell for over their list price each month. This is looking back at sales data for King County from 2008-2012 with April’s number highlighted in each year.

“Alice was absolutely amazing! She made the process so easy. Super prompt at showing houses answered all of my questions whenever I had them. She helped me purchase my first home and I will always be grateful for all that she did! Alice never tried to sell me on anything she always just let me make my own decisions and because of that I now own a home that I am excited to call mine!”

“Alice did a great job handling the sale of a home for us that was part of an estate. In addition, though the home was local to her, we were halfway across the country. On top of that unique situation, we had to handle the sale during the pandemic with local stay-home-orders in place. She was very patient with us and gave us great advice on how to move forward to get the house sold quickly, which was important due to the estate situation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a competent real estate professional.”

“Alice knew my neighborhood, the local area buy-sell vibe, and priced my home to make it attractive to a variety of buyers. She showed me the data of why it made sense to hire a painter and stager. She knew how to work with other realtors, and set up the Open House for me to get the best price for my home...and isn't that the goal of every home sale?! So yes, I would recommend Alice Kuder.”

“This is my second time working with Alice, and it was just as wonderful an experience as the first! She's super knowledgeable and helped me every step of the way. She communicated regularly, and I always felt like I knew exactly what was going on in the process - which I very much appreciate. She really went above and beyond, and I only regret I won't be able to work with her again soon.”

“Alice Kuder and I worked together over the phone, email and text messages without ever meeting as I had already relocated to the East Coast. Even with the time difference we were able to connect on a regular basis. Alice went the extra mile to tend to my house in working out all the details of staging and other issues. She was flexible and professional -- and she sold my house!”

“Alice did a fantastic job of sticking with us through several ups and downs with our move, including the timing, as she helped us search for over a year and one offer we pulled back on. We also changed plans with our prior home, from renting to selling, and she rode through that with us and helped us get a contingent offer in and extended to allow for our sale to go through. She stayed on top of everyone involved to ensure a seamless transaction on the closing, and we know she'll continue to follow up to ensure we stay happy with our new home.”

“I have known Alice Kuder literally all of my life, so the trust issue was satisfied. Selling my home at this time had been a long term goal that I had discussed with Alice at least a year before the listing. She always provided me with good information and support prior to and during the transaction. Any differences of opinion were discussed thoroughly until terms of agreement were reached. The transaction went smoothly start to finish.”

“Alice is an excellent agent, she is professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I trust her judgement, and I know that she would not take advantage of our lack of knowledge, and experience in buying a home. Alice was willing to work with us via skype, and face time, she was/is always available to answer questions, and willing to research anything she doesn't know. She kept in constant contact with our lender, and made sure the process went along smoothly. I continually recommend Alice to my friends and family, I would work with her again in the future.”

“Alice sat me down and took talked with me for almost two hours on our first meeting. She walked me through what to expect during the process and what type of timelines and financial obligations I should expect. This was really helpful as a first time buyer to understand what I was getting into developing trust in Alice as a realtor. She was quickly able to help me figure out what style home I was looking for and was encouraging the entire way. Alice made a what could have been a terrifying experience into a joyous one.”

“This was the second property Alice helped me purchase. I had a great experience with her when I bought my first house in Seattle. When I was looking to buy a property in Tacoma, I contacted her again. I knew Alice mainly dealt with the Seattle real estate market and I could have probably easily found an agent in Tacoma locally. But without a second thought I contacted Alice because I know she would always look out for my best interest. Alice did a lot of research to familiarize herself with the Tacoma market right away. She guided me through the process expertly as she always does. She patiently answers my questions and resolves any issue immediately. She is always available to me, even during her vacation! I would recommend Alice to anyone”

“Alice helped my wife and I, who are (were) first-time home buyers, buy our first family home. Even though she's based in West Seattle, Alice proved to be an incredibly helpful asset as we search for homes on the east side (Kirkland/Bothell area). She never was unable to make the trip to look for homes when we found one we liked. She's also incredibly communicative over both email and text, always providing up-to-date information or sending new potential listings to look at. She says she takes Mondays off, but she was always quick to respond even on that day. To sum up, Alice is an extremely knowledgeable agent who worked extremely hard to put us into a home we'd love. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the greater Seattle area.”
