Supply and demand
Market conditions have been consistently cooling in Northeast Seattle in the past week’s. Because we’re still in the Seller’s zone, prices have not yet begun to drop. It may take a few more weeks for slack demand for prices to reflect and begin to fall. Expect prices to fall if the index persistently falls to the Buyer’s zone.
