Beacon Hill, once a week.
The Rainier Valley Dispatch is a free Thursday-morning email for people who live in Beacon Hill. Five minutes. What's changing on your streets, what's being built nearby, and the homes that just sold within a few blocks of you.
The ridge south of Jefferson Park through Mid-Beacon and South Beacon Hill, along Beacon Avenue South and the Chief Sealth Trail.
What the city decided
Council votes, construction that changes your commute, openings and closings, school district news. The things you would hear at the bus stop if you had time to stand at the bus stop.
One block for where you live
Columbia City readers get Columbia City. Beacon Hill readers get Beacon Hill. A permit, a park project, a road change, and the homes that just sold within a few blocks of you.
Three numbers, one sentence
Median sold price, days to sell, months of inventory. What they mean this month for someone who owns here or wants to. No hype.
Written in Rainier Valley, by people who live here.
Published by RexMont Real Estate, a Seattle and Eastside brokerage. The council agenda, the permit bulletin, the school district blog and the transit notices get read so you don't have to. One reader, one city, no hype.
Questions people ask
Is this a real estate newsletter?
No. It is a Rainier Valley newsletter that happens to know the housing market. Three of the four sections are about living here. The fourth tells you what homes are selling for, because in Rainier Valley that is news too.
Why does a brokerage publish it?
RexMont Real Estate has worked in these neighborhoods for years and nobody was writing about them at the neighborhood level. The newsletter is free. If you ever want to talk about selling or buying, you will know where to find us. That is the whole arrangement.
What happens with my address?
It is used for one thing: a monthly estimate of what your home would sell for today, inside your neighborhood block. It is never sold, shared, or posted. Remove it any time by replying to any issue.
