Real Estate Information for Sequim Buyers

January 29, 2014 by Chuck Marunde

Good real estate information is what buyers need, but what is essential is accurate and relevant real estate information. There is plenty of real estate information, but there is also a lot of unreliable information on the Internet. This site and its affiliate sites are devoted to providing accurate and very relevant information for buyers. 

Real Estate Information

Real Estate Information Galore

These sites include more information for buyers than anywhere else. Check out our Sequim Real Estate Blog with over 1,500 articles for buyers about buying real estate in Sequim and Port Angeles. You won’t find a more robust and content-rich real estate information anywhere on the Net. We have dozens of key sites and resources for buyers. You’ll find these links on the above real estate blog in the right margin.

Real Estate Information

You’ll also find many other resources on that blog. Check out this page: Sequim Real Estate Resources (full of Sequim books on real estate, maps, links to documents and more real estate information). For fun you might want to browse our Sequim real estate photos site.

We also have a real estate attorney (ret.) on staff who answers questions freely, and who gives our buyers the confidence they are being protected by experience. You can ask questions on our real estate information Q&A site at Sequim Real Estate Questions.

Super Sequim MLS Site Online for Buyers

December 7, 2013 by Chuck Marunde

Buyers want a good Sequim MLS, but they want more than just “good.” Buyers want an online MLS site that not only includes 100% of all the Sequim and Port Angeles listings, but is easy to use, easy to navigate, gives them powerful search options, plenty of eye candy, and is fun to use. But here’s a Sequim MLS site with all that and much more.

Sequim MLS Online

This Sequim MLS site has all the standard search options that you would expect to find in any MLS site online, but you’ll enjoy the easy way the map search works, and you’ll find pre-programmed search links, like horse properties, Sequim waterfront properties, foreclosures, homes with a barn or shop, homes with a guest house, and so on.

Sequim MLS Support

You also get customer support from the person who designed and programmed this site. You can email anytime for help in your search to chuckmarunde@gmail.com.

Sequim Real Estate Market

November 23, 2013 by Chuck Marunde

The Sequim real estate market is quite unique and a full explanation of how we got to this place and where this market is likely to go would be a short book. This is the briefest of explanations. Sequim has been a very popular retirement destination for several decades, but since we are off the I-5 corridor by a couple of hours, we are shielded by the explosive growth that occurs in many rural retirement havens.

Sequim Real Estate

Sequim Real Estate History

Over the years, Sequim has attracted some of the most extraordinary people, people who are well educated, mature psychologically and emotionally, and yet humble. The community is full of intelligent, mature, and financially conservative retirees. This means they haven’t overextended themselves by refinancing many times and pulling equity out of their homes, which also means we have very few foreclosures or short sales in Sequim.

Sequim Real Estate Market

The Sequim real estate market is very stable. But since the majority of our buyers come from out of state, our market is subject to the weaknesses of markets around the country. If homes are not selling in southern California, we won’t have very many buyers in Sequim. But when the market gets hot elsewhere, the Sequim real estate market gets hot. Learn more by reading my 2013 Sequim Real Estate Market report.

Help for Buyers Finding Sequim MLS Information

October 19, 2013 by Chuck Marunde

The Sequim MLS is full of data, thousands of photos, and many virtual tours. The mass of data can be confusing for buyers, because all listing agents do not enter data the same. Titles or fields are often completed differently. What one listing agent calls a water view, another agent would not. Some photos are great, and other photos are unclear, or they don’t accurately represent the property.

Sequim MLS Data

Most buyers find it frustrating after months of online searching, looking at different Sequim MLS sites, and digging through Zillow and Trulia and finding all kinds of sites through the search engines. I’ve written elsewhere that Zillow is full of inaccurate data, bad information, and often displays listings that were sold two years earlier. One of my listings that I sold for $770,000 was shown on Zillow as having a value of only $447,000. Many buyers are using Zillow and finding out that other Sequim MLS sites have different information. So after looking at hundreds of online properties in the Sequim MLS, how do you filter them with accurate information that will help you to create a short list of homes you want to view?

Sequim MLS Information Help

One Sequim real estate broker helps buyers filter and review online MLS information long before they even arrive. Many clients email me to ask if I am familiar with a particular listing, and I often have shown it and can talk about it in detail. Some clients email me asking about features that are not explained or they ask about more photos. I often go out to another agent’s listing to take those photos and share them with my clients. If you need help filtering properties online, use one Sequim MLS that is 100% reliable, and then email me for specific help on listings that you want to know more about. Use Sequim4Sale.com and email ChuckMarunde@gmail.com, your Sequim buyer’s agent. I can get you the information you want and answer all your questions.
