Mortgage interest rates fell in November and have hovered around 6.5% for several weeks now. The rate volatility we experienced during the fall has subsided for now, and recent housing data suggests we may be close to finding a bottom for the floundering housing market, which went into shock this spring when rates rose from all-time lows.

News headlines make it seem like selling homes is easy. Plenty of folks probably wonder whether they need a real estate broker at all.

This is the last post in a series meant to shed light on the mysterious (and seldom exposed) process of remodeling. I hope these posts are useful to you if you’re considering a remodel of similar scale; I think they’ll lend insight into the challenges and decisions we’ve faced during our project and, of course, the reward at the end.
We started this project thinking we had a strong sense of the direction our design decisions would take. But designing a home is much more about solving problems than going shopping, so we hired a designer (our architect’s wife) on an hourly basis to help us out. We were worried about choosing trendy finishes that would look dated a few years down the road or would be impractical for our active household.
Cabinets are a big deal. I’ve seen 2-year-old cabinets that look like tired and unreliable. Our 1959 home in West Seattle has original cabinets that have held up incredibly well and look great. Beautiful, durable cabinets are really important to us because we hope to make our kitchen the hub of our new home.
