As predicted a number of months ago, the number of homes in Bellevue listed for sale under $500,000 has continued to increase. Today there were 54 single family residences (SFRs) listed for sale here in Bellevue for less than half a million dollars. These are all properties listed on the NWMLS and does include a few townhouses, but doesn’t include the many for sale by owners (FSBO) around town.
I look for this number to continue to increase for some time, as it continues to get tougher to qualify for a loan and prices drop back down to some normalcy.
Has anyone else noticed how many places are for rent lately? Do you think these could be people who thought they’d have sold their properties for huge profits by now? Will the availability of these rental units and many under construction have a lowering effect on rents? Or will the real estate sales slowdown turn a lot of would-be buyers into renters again and cause rents to rise?
If you want to search homes that are on the market, try the new Seattle Home Search site or on the Eastside, check out the place to find Eastside Real Estate for sale.
NWMLS 24 Hour Market Stats - October 1
October 1, 2007 by Joe Kennedy.
In the past 24 hours there has been a lot of activity on the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS). There were 852 new listings, 185 properties place back on the market, 63 price increases, and a whopping 701 price reductions. On the plus side, there were 23 properties placed on contingent status, 316 pending sales and 467 sales that closed. The largest figure and perhaps a surprise to some was 1802 listings that expired.
My guess is that many of those expired listings come back on market in the next week - and I’d like to help them. With a Flat Fee Listing home sellers can easier drop their sales price thousands lower than what they would have to try to get if they were paying a listing commission.
Video Blogging Article at RISMedia by Barry Hurd

There was a great article today about video blogging for real estate at RISMedia by Barry Hurd, of Seattle-based Social Media Systems . (Barry is also a member of BizNik).
Does anyone out there have any stories of how you have used video blogging? Have you considered the effort successful? Any real estate video blogs you can recommend?
As an experiment, I’d like to find one FSBO in Bellevue or Mercer Island who would allow me to do a short video blog on their property. FREE of charge. I would post it on YouTube and on this blog. It will be interesting to see what kind of exposure this helps give the property. Any takers?
