Governor Inslee, last week, announced a three week extension through January 4th of the November 16th restrictions put in place to curb the surge in new COVID-19 cases.
As a reminder, these restrictions impact real estate in the following ways:
- All real estate open houses are suspended.
- Professional services should work from home. If you are unable to work from home, those services will be limited to 25% of building occupancy and closed to the general public.
- Please note that private home showings are still permitted by appointment with no more than five (5) people, in addition to the broker, on site with strict social distancing.
To be clear, real estate is still in business.
REALTORS® have proven that we can conduct business safely and effectively under these guidelines.
