King and Snohomish County Real Estate Markets Rebound The April data from the Northwest MLS reports growing activity and increasing prices in local Real Estate. Here are a few highlights: 1. New listings in King County are up 8% and closed sales are up 16.36% 2. Seattle median prices are up 12.6%, Now $997k 3. Eastside median prices are up 15.7% and total sales up 30%. Median $1.667mill 4. SNOCO new listings were up 26%. Real Estate pros say that inventory still remains dramatically below demand. There is a lot of latent demand sitting on the sidelines because of higher mortgage rates and limited choices but, more people are accepting current conditions and are actively looking. Waiting has not been recommended by most Realtors and their advice is turning out to be prescient. #kingcountyrealestate #snohomishcountyrealestate #seattlerealestate #bellevuerealestate #bothellrealestate #snohomishcountyrealestate #mortgageadvisor #mortgageexpert https://lnkd.in/gtkXwuJQ

Spraying to all fields, I am not a happy camper this morning and this is something that gets in my craw on a consistent basis. Why is it that the state of California believes that it is correct and justifiable to charge sales tax on a CRV? My 2 for 5 deal, with CRV is now 2 for $5.10, plus tax. If it was at $5, my total would be $5.425 rounded to $5.43. At $5.10 it's now $5.533, rounded to $5.54. The difference on one drink, or in my case a 2 for $5 drink, is small. However, when you extrapolate across many drinks, it is no longer small. The average American drinks 47 gallons of just bottled water a year. That about one bottled water per day. So in California alone, 39 million bottles are sold everyday. (I know we buy them in bricks of 48 from Costco, so bear with me). And at 5 cents per bottle, at an average sales tax rate of 8.5%, it's about $0.004 per bottle. Which is not much. Now times that by 39 million. That's $165,750. Per day. On CRV. Which should be non taxable. Kinda like a tip on services at a restaurant. (Which by the way is also taxed when ordered online) So, $165,750 times 365 equals, carry the nine, $60,498,750 per year. On CRV. 60 million freaking dollars that state brings in just on CRV tax. Please, someone, anyone, explain to me how this is not just an outright fleecing of the public. By the way, this is just on the bottled water, not to mention my beer, my Cokes, my any of eight other drinks I drink frequently. On that happy note, wanna go get a draft at Kelly's?

Good News on Property Taxes for Washington Seniors!! 🏠 🏡 The Seattle Times is reporting recent changes to Washington State law. Seniors and disabled homeowners with higher incomes are now eligible for relief in their property taxes. In King County the income limit was increased by 44% to $84k/year. In Snohomish County the new limit is $75k. Pierce County is $65k The article says that when someone makes application it freezes their taxes assessed home value. It also exempts them from certain levies. If a homeowner makes application, they should plan on a long wait. There is a big backlog at the county offices to get them processed. #kingcountyrealestate #snohomishcountyrealestate #mortgagelender https://lnkd.in/gZP5YJWu
