As the REALTOR(R) convention continues in Las Vegas we’re getting updates on speakers and what’s being covered at the convention. According to this article, Lawrence Yun, chief economist for NAR, says that Seattle will continue to be a bright light in the darkened national real estate market.
While he doesn’t have everyone joining him on that bandwagon of thought I think it is interesting how we are compared by Yun to other world-renowned cities (of the US) regarding our good mix of economic factors and quality of life. Yun has had more than one instance where he’s stated Seattle is a stand-out in the real estate crowd. It will be interesting to see what he has to say as 2008 begins and we move into another year’s cycle.
