How to Search for Home in a Pandemic

By Living Room Realty, August 10, 2020

When I first met Guy and Limor they were one month into their new Pacific NW life (via Israel, no less!) and 100% determined to live within walking distance to both the 23rd Ave shopping district and Forest Park. The only problem was there were NO homes for sale that met this search criteria.

The question, then, was what do you do in a Pandemic when demand is high, inventory low, your clients have just moved to America, and they need a new home ASAP? Answer: You kind of do everything. You send letters to Off Market homeowners, you look at homes that are too small, or not updated, and call in contractors to find out expansion/renovation costs, you work 24/7 until, together with your very cool and very game clients, you find that perfect home. And find it, we did!

This 1978 home with vaulted ceilings and an open kitchen is not quite walking distance to NW 23rd Ave. or Forest Park, but the kids can walk to school (when it starts) and there is a forest in their backyard. The layout lends itself perfectly for their needs, to play, to work, and to live out their dream.
