SEE PAGES F6 & F7 Open Homes Directory with 20+ Homes. SEE PAGE F5 ALWAYS ON YOUR SIDE: The Benefits of a Buyer s Agent Coming Soon! 54 Townhomes in Green View Estates in Washougal. SEE PAGES F6 & F7 So you ve started the process of purchasing a home and you have a pre-approval letter or maybe even cash in hand. You re excited to get out there and see what s on the market in your price range. You drive by a great home in the perfect location, or find your dream home online. You can t wait to find out more about the house and begin to call the listing agent. STOP! This home is perfect for first time buyers & empty nesters. SEE PAGE F3 It may not be entirely obvious to everyone that the first step in the house hunting process should be finding a dedicated Buyer s Agent. A Buyer s Agent is a REALTOR whose job it is to look out for your best interests as a buyer. Meanwhile, the job of the listing agent is to get the best price for the seller. Speaking with a listing agent on your own could reveal sensitive financial information to hurt your position in the negotiation and be detrimental to your transaction. The listing agent is supposed to tell you about all the great features of the property, as they are not required to disclose any negative information that could potentially jeopardize the sale. However, a Buyer s Agent can offer full disclosure information on a property, even if it hurts the seller. Anyone Out There Have a Crystal Ball? 2018 was a good year in Clark County real estate, by most measurements: demand has remained strong, prices have increased, and the volume of transactions has been mostly steady. Interest rates have risen, but remain quite low when viewed historically. New construction has been robust. The last few months of the year have seen some cooling of the market, but the decline of multiple offer competitions between buyers has allowed more buyers to find success in their search for a home. The ability of the average Clark County family to afford the average home continues to be an issue with no easy solution on the horizon. What about 2019? Without a working crystal ball, all I can do is listen to predictions by others and most experts are predicting: Home price increases will slow; Interest rates will continue to rise; Millennials buying homes will be a huge factor; and Inventory (listings compared to sales) will increase. That may sound bad, but it s really not.

No one I ve heard is predicting doomsday for Clark County real estate.

From your friends at Clark County Title, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Scott Washington St, Ste. 100 Vancouver, WA Having a reputable and trusted Buyer s Agent on your side helps to ease your mind during this time of high emotional stress. Buying a house is not an easy task and you shouldn t do it on your own. You wouldn t go skydiving without a trusted instructor, would you? So why would you jump into an investment where you spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of your hard earned dollars without someone to represent your best interests? Seems foolish, doesn t it? These are just a few reasons why there is absolutely no risk involved in choosing an exclusive buyer s agent to represent you. Plus, in Washington State, the services of a Buyer s Agent are paid for by the seller so it will not cost you a dime. It just makes sense to choose an agent who will always be on your side to get you the best home for the lowest possible price.
