Where Does Home Value Come From? | Ep. 1: Location, Location... and More | RE radar

RE radar

Welcome to Episode 1 of our three-part RE radar series: Understanding Home Value.

Today we tackle the timeless saying — "location, location, location" — and break down what that actually means in today’s market. I'm Nathan Mathisen, your host and local Seattle realtor, and in this episode, we explore:

📍 The macro view — how city, neighborhood, and reputation affect baseline value

🚦 The micro view — how street placement, traffic, walkability, and even tree shade change a buyer’s perception

🏗️ Zoning, alley access, and upcoming light rail lines — future potential and its impact on current value

From Magnolia to Green Lake to Central District, I use real Seattle examples to show how value is determined not just by location, but by layers of location.

👀 Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious, this series will help you better understand what actually drives the price of a home.
