Rooftop living: Rooftop decks are often associated with urban, city living. But, this home at the top of a cul-de-sac boasts a rooftop deck with sweeping views of the Puget Sound. Priced at $999,500, the property also comes with ownership stake in the adjacent beachfront.

The local real estate market is slowing down, which is typical for this time of year. But for some people, late fall and winter is an opportune time to buy or sell. Many people receive company bonuses that can go toward down payments, while others need to sell or buy before the end of the year for tax purposes.

Home prices in the neighborhood remain stable. The median home price in Richmond Beach was $444,000 in October, down 1.4 percent from the previous month.  Homes for sale receive an average of two offers, with homes selling for an average of 98.7 percent of their asking price.
