April in Seattle: A Season of New Beginnings

Hello April!

As the cherry blossoms bloom and the days stretch a little longer, Seattle shakes off its winter gray and comes alive in vibrant color. April brings a renewed energy to the city—farmers markets are bustling, patios are reopening, and neighborhoods from Ballard to Capitol Hill are buzzing with activity. It’s a time of growth, movement, and fresh starts—and that’s especially true in the real estate market.

We’re seeing more listings hit the market, more buyers ready to make a move, and a sense of optimism that’s unique to spring. Whether you’re dreaming of a new home with a view of the Sound, considering a cozy condo close to the action, or just curious about your home’s value, this is the perfect time to explore what’s possible. Let’s make the most of this season of possibility—together.
