We’re still looking for lots of inventory to put on the market,” Robel said.
“Buyers are having maybe a bit tougher time, but there’s great homes out there, and the market is doing great."
As the Gier’s begin to show their home, they will have to disclose that their water is contaminated.
While the housing market in Airway Heights doesn’t appear to be significantly affected by the water contamination, a realtor with Windermere Real Estate, Stephanie Peterson, said her one listing in Airway Heights has done fewer showings lately because of the contamination.
However, she also said they should take advantage of this opportunity of not having to deal with competing bids.
