The fall season is officially upon us, which means the holidays are just around the corner. This time of year really gets people in the home buying spirit as they witness the leaves changing colors and all the festive decorations hung everywhere because it gives a more “homey” feel.
The fall time is a quieter time to purchase a home, which means you will not have to stress about feeling rushed to make a decision before the home becomes unavailable. You can browse the residential market at your leisure and talk with a local mortgage lender in Bellevue to go over all your options before you make a decision.
So, to help you get started on the search to find your dream home, the Nicole Vaivadas Team with Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc., has listed the most current market update for the Bellevue area.
