Welcome August
Savoring the Last Sweet Days of Summer
August brings a golden, slower-paced magic to Washington. It’s the time of year when we try to slow down the clock, soaking in every drop of Pacific Northwest sunshine before the season turns. Yet, while the days are relaxed, the real estate market remains remarkably active. Serious buyers are locked in and looking to settle before the school year starts, making August a hidden gem of a window for sellers who want to stand out with pristine curb appeal.
Let’s finish the season strong. If your ready to secure your own sanctuary in time to watch the autumn leaves change, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

Have Mortgage Rates Peaked for 2026? |
| | |
|
| |
Though the 2026 housing market has shown modest, steady improvement with pending sales outpacing last year, rising mortgage rates near 6.6% are starting to slow buyer demand. The market's fragile recovery now hinges on whether these elevated rates will persist and trigger an increase in inventory during the second half of the year. |

Pick a Game, Any Game!
August is a dream for Seattle sports fans, packed with action on land and water. The month kicks off with the legendary hydroplane races and airshows of Seafair Weekend on Lake Washington. At T-Mobile Park, the Mariners host major home series against the Twins, Tigers, Cubs, and Phillies, while next door at Lumen Field, the Sounders and Reign drive the summer soccer season, and the Seahawks return for their first home preseason game against the Cowboys. Rounding out the lineup, the Seattle Storm brings fast-paced WNBA action to Climate Pledge Arena all month long. If you plan to attend any of these events, its best to get your tickets now! |
