When you're buying or selling a home, the headlines only tell part of the story. What really matters is understanding what the numbers mean for your neighborhood, price range, and goals.
One of the advantages my clients have is access to detailed market research prepared by Brandice Raybourn, a licensed Washington real estate broker and Research and Marketing Consultant who operates her own Everett-based business. While I'm focused on helping clients navigate the buying and selling process, Brandice specializes in analyzing housing data across Snohomish and King Counties, looking beyond the headlines to identify the trends that actually influence real estate decisions.
Her work doesn't just report statistics. It explains what's happening in the market, why it's happening, and what buyers and sellers should be paying attention to.

Why This Matters

 
Real estate decisions shouldn't be based on national headlines or generic market reports. Every city, neighborhood, price range, and property type behaves differently. Having accurate local data allows us to make better decisions together, whether you're buying your first home, preparing to sell, downsizing, or investing.
 

Brandice has spent years developing local market reports focused on Snohomish and King counties. Through consistent research and detailed analysis, her Everett housing research has been featured in two Everett Post stories: Housing affordability bill Trump won’t sign might not change much in Everett, which cited findings from one of her earlier market reports, and Everett residential real estate listings spiked in August compared to 2025, which drew from her August market analysis and conversation with reporter Phil Vandervort.

Her reports have also appeared as sources in Google’s AI-powered search experiences when people search for local housing market information. That outside recognition reinforces what I already know: thoughtful, accurate market analysis leads to better conversations and better decisions.

How We Use This Information

 
When clients ask me:
  • Is now a good time to sell?
  • How competitive is my neighborhood?
  • Should I wait?
  • What are buyers actually doing right now?
I'm not relying on opinions or national headlines. By working with a dedicated Research and Marketing Consultant, I'm able to combine my experience helping clients navigate transactions with Brandice's detailed market analysis to provide guidance that's grounded in what's actually happening here in our local market.
It's one of the ways I make sure my clients have access to thoughtful local market analysis before making important real estate decisions.
