There’s a LOT of bad real estate advice floating around — from TikTok to the headlines. In this episode of RE radar, I’m busting six of the biggest myths I hear from Seattle buyers and sellers all the time.
Some of these misconceptions? They could end up costing you thousands if you believe them. Here’s what we’re breaking down today:
- Do you really need 20% down to buy a home?
- Is spring actually the only good time to sell?
- Do all-cash buyers always win?
- Does overpricing give you more room to negotiate?
- Should you always waive inspections to win?
- Is waiting for lower interest rates the best strategy?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
