Is your home sale subject to an inspection?
The Northwest Multiple Listing Service recently changed the way that sales are reported to agents and to the public, making it clearer to buyers whether the property is actually available for sale. Sales that used to be called "Active-Subject to Inspection" are now called "Pending Inspection."

The latest stats and spin
One person's statement is another person's spin, so we'll let you decide which is which.
The latest statistics from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service are out. You can review the current press release any time on our site or the public site of the NWMLS.
The good news is pending sales in April 2008 were the highest they have been since August 2007. The bad news is pending sales are always higher in April than they are during the winter, so April's results are not a positive surprise.
