Local Housing Market Reports Built for Better Real Estate Decisions

I am Brandice Raybourn, a licensed Washington real estate broker with Coldwell Banker Danforth. Each month, I break down raw NWMLS housing data by city, housing type, and residential resale price range.

But I do more than publish reports. I use this information to help sellers build pricing, preparation, positioning, and negotiation strategies, and to help buyers understand value, competition, leverage, and when they may need to act quickly.

Last month's closings are context, not today's answer. Closed-sale data looks backward, and some of those homes went under contract weeks before they closed. The report shows useful patterns, but the active listings, recent pending sales, competing homes, and buyer response around one property are what shape a decision right now.

Monthly Reports by City

Choose a City. Then Look Beneath the Average.

Each report separates the market by housing type, price range, supply, market speed, buyer activity, and negotiation patterns so you can see where the market is actually moving.

These reports describe broad and segmented market patterns. An individual property's value, competition, and negotiating position still depend on its location, condition, features, timing, and direct alternatives.

How I Use This Data for Clients

Last Month Gives Us Context. Today's Competition Shapes the Strategy.

These reports explain what closed, but they do not claim that last month's market is today's market. Some reported sales were negotiated 30, 45, or more days before closing. I use the history as a starting point, then compare it with the homes available now, recent pending activity, pricing changes, property condition, and the choices buyers and sellers are making today.

For Sellers: A Listing Needs More Than Exposure

Buyers have choices, and homes are not selling themselves. I use current competition and recent buyer behavior to help sellers make intentional decisions.

  • Price against the homes buyers can choose today
  • Prepare and present the property for its likely buyer pool
  • Make the value and differentiators easy to understand
  • Respond to feedback, market changes, and negotiation with a plan
What Could My Home Sell For?

For Buyers: Not Every Home Requires the Same Offer

The broad market may look competitive while a specific listing offers room to negotiate, or the reverse. I help buyers read the current competition around the actual home before choosing their price, protections, timing, and terms.

  • Recognize where competition is real and where leverage may exist
  • Compare value within the correct housing type and price range
  • Understand market speed without rushing past property-specific risk
  • Build thoughtful offer terms around the home and the buyer's priorities

Exceptional Real Estate Agent – Highly Recommend Brandice!

We had the pleasure of working with Brandice during a particularly challenging property sale, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her expertise and dedication. From the very beginning, Brandice went above and beyond to help us navigate a tough market. She stuck with us through every twist and turn, offering insightful guidance and unwavering support.

Our sale was complicated by HOA special assessments and limitations, but Brandice handled it all with professionalism and grace. She took the initiative to coordinate with repair companies and manage ongoing construction, relieving us of a huge burden. Her ability to secure the best quotes for condo touchups, while being completely transparent about the pros and cons of each option, was incredibly helpful.

She also provided strategic advice on pricing and incentives, helping us make informed adjustments that ultimately led to a successful sale. Brandice’s commitment, communication, and attention to detail truly set her apart.

We are extremely pleased with her services and would highly recommend Brandice to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely caring real estate agent!

Amazing Experience!
I’m surprised Brandice doesn’t have any reviews yet because she’s amazing! I was moving from Arizona to Washington and she made the whole process so easy. She did virtual tours, FaceTimed me, and kept in touch the entire time. She’s super friendly, personable and answered all my questions, and helped me find the perfect home in Lake Stevens. Highly recommend!

This was my first time buying a house in Washington. I was nervous and scared at the same time but Brandice made me feel comfortable and confident with my decision. She was there the whole way through this journey with me. I have to say it was a very smooth transaction. Brandice had high professional agents. We got everything done in two weeks. She took the time to do a walk through with me and explained everything in the house. I have to say I would do it all over again with Brandice. She was very transparent with everything. You want an agent who’s willing to be honest with you.
