Sustainability isn’t just a buzz word.
RM Home Specialists • Apr 28, 2023

What are your goals this Spring?

I am the woman who literally gets anxiety at the store when the I forget my shopping bags and see the clerk putting 4 things into a plastic bag and grabbing another. I get anxious even when I see stacks of plastic water bottles too… Not sure how – maybe my “hippie parents” or maybe my love for this beautiful planet. No matter, I’m here to help!

 

Sustainability isn’t just a buzz word. It involves concepts that we need now and for the future. The least we can do as a consumable society is to be aware, make our impact on the planet less, and dispose responsibly.

 

While passing through the mail/bills, I found the Pierce County Refuse mailer quite helpful. 

 

Home Values: Are there Federal Savings available to you at your home? Check out: Home Energy | Pierce County, WA - Official Website (piercecountywa.gov). We’ve had clients ask us if solar panels and energy upgrades will catapult their values. We do know that with higher interest rates, lower utilities are a plus! We believe it will be value for your bills now and can’t help but have future value. 

 

Spring cleaning: Properly dispose of Paint: Five gallons or less can be dropped off in our area, check Paintcare.org; Electronics: Check ECycleWA.org; Hazardous Waste (chemicals, cleaners etc): Household Hazardous Waste | Pierce County, WA - Official Website (piercecountywa.gov); Unused Medicine: Med-Project.org. 

 

Please recycle the plastic BUT… only put plastic bottles, jugs and tubs. Unfortunately, there isn’t a place for all the “wrapping” and plastic in our bins. And make sure the items are clean. 

 

Gardening and Veggies: This is one of the things I’ve had on my list of things to do for for years! The County has edible gardening & composting complimentary classes both virtual and in-person. Check it out: Sustainable Solutions | Pierce County, WA - Official Website (piercecountywa.gov)

 

Happy Spring Y'all! Madison and I agree that 2024 will be our year of the family garden! In the meantime, if you have any questions about housing values, how to dispose after Spring Cleaning, or care to inspire us with your garden stories; Call or text!


Sincerely, Regina

Multiple Offer Strategy. What Makes a Winning Offer

Multiple Offer Strategy

By RM Home Specialists • 09 Mar, 2024
Chances are you've heard of multiple offers regarding real estate. Especially if you live in Washington State and have had a slight pulse on the market for the past five years. Real estate markets are strongly propelled by supply and demand. Supply is active inventory, aka homes for sale, and the demand is shown by the pending sales- when a buyer and seller get under contract. Overall, there has been a significant shortage of homes compared to people looking to purchase, which has given a strong seller advantage. This, combined with interest rates in the 2% range, which we saw in 2020, resulted in a frenzy for buyers shopping for homes. With interest rates in the 6-7% range, now fewer people can afford the rates and purchase some, which has leveled out with the lack of homes for sale.
