Thrive in 2025!
Happy New Year! 🎉 As we kick off 2025, Seattle feels like it's buzzing with back-to-office/school energy and opportunities. My theme this year, "Thrive in 2025," is all about embracing the market changes and making the most of what Seattle has to offer.
Together, we’ll celebrate the unique stories that make all our Seattle neighborhoods special, the connections that create a sense of community, and the joy of making your home yours. Here’s to a year of milestones, new beginnings, making your Seattle journey everything you’ve envisioned—and more!
Looking forward to thriving together in 2025!
-Matt Mather

Plus whether you're thinking about painting or not, don't miss the link below of some colors to check out this year!

With the seasonal slowdown over the holidays, the Mid-Century Modern market has not much to offer with new listings. So this month, I look back at some of my favorite homes from 2024 and am excited to see more MCM's on market in January!
