"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the Fall."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald
This quote seemed fitting as life is not necessarily anew, but we are in the midst of a seasonal and market shift. Our inventory levels are increasing in comparison to this time last year (up 66% YOY). It appears we are approaching a more balanced market, which is the relief we have needed for some time in the Seattle-area.
Other current market stats:
Median Sales Price - King Couty: $610,000
(up 4.3% YOY)
Median Sales Price - Seattle: $700,000
(up 1.6% YOY)
Median Sales Price - Eastside: $837,000
(up 11.6% YOY)
Avg. Days on Market - Seattle:: 17
(up 21.4% YOY)
Avg. Days on Market: Eastside: 19
(up 11.8% YOY)
With much enthusiasm, I've also launched two new downtown Seattle listings in Belltown Court, a new website, and logo. Take a peek.
Wishing you a refreshing Fall, Emily
