In case you missed it, HB1110 is the largest upzone in Washington state history, and among the most comprehensive legislative housing bills in the US. In the larger cities, the single-family zoning as you know it, is fundamentally changing by July 1, 2025, to allow for “missing middle” housing options that include multiple dwelling units. A modern day “space race” is afoot between municipal governments as they draft their new zoning guidelines and vie for developers to invest in their city limits, with further incentives within walking distances of rapid transit nodes. This catalyst will affect land values significantly and prompt thousands of “make me move” transactions with would-be sellers that do not know it yet. Learn how leaders have aligned technology, brokerage operations, the builder industry, and evolving lifestyle trends to make the most of this real estate gold rush of YIMBY’S (“yes” in my backyard).
