There’s some comfort to be had in the latest press release from the NWMLS. At least the song has remained the same in the last 18 or 19 of them.  Perhaps that’s an exaggeration, but it’s probably pretty close.  This one quote especially piqued my interest:

Certainly, conventional wisdom agrees with the statement. However, I’m not completely convinced.  King and Snohomish Counties reported less pending sales than a year ago (7.5% less in King County, for example).  I do think interest rates will begin rising. If supply was a bit more than its current levels I could see prices softening, but with inventory levels continuing to be so low, I don’t see price increases slowing down in Q1 or Q2.

Oh yeah, the Spring market is here.  Sell something.

Here we go, everyone. It’s time for a Pinterest update.  According to the social media site, they have reached 175 Million active monthly users of which 75 Million users are from the US. Other reports even say it’s closer to 200 Million+.

Another interesting stat is 36% of those users in the US are millennials (There’s that word again. Don’t tell Paul). They are using Pinterest to plan for major life events like getting married, having a baby, taking vacations, remodeling or decorating and, yes, when buying a home!
