April was another busy month! Home prices have continued to increase in Skagit County, but the market might be heading towards a slight cooldown which would be a welcome relief for many. While the market hums along, we are proud to be assisting clients in their real estate ventures and helping them navigate a complex market.

Spring is a time that brings change, and now might be a good time to use that spirit and make some valuable home improvements. If you are excited about the weather warming up, there are plenty of great outdoor activities coming up around the Northwest. Sample the best that the islands have to offer at Whidbey Island's bakery tour, or take a stroll through scenic La Conner during the town's annual street fair. And don't miss the Heritage Flight Museum's opening day flight featuring gorgeous antique planes!
