State Of The Market
A real estate market that has been defined by frenzied bidding wars and astronomical prices over the last two years might finally be coming back down to earth. Market stats have shown a slowdown in price growth while newly listed homes are staying on the market for longer periods. In fact, only four Seattle neighborhoods saw a double-digit increase in home price growth compared to last year. Paired with a slight uptick in inventory, buyers in the Seattle area could be seeing a more balanced market landscape for the first time in years. While it is far from a true buyer's market, any return to a sense of normalcy can be seen as a relief for buyers. If you're looking to enter the market, either as a buyer or a seller, please reach out.
