    Bothell’s real estate market takes a pause to exhale 

 

This Week:

The median list price in Bothell  this week is $499,950,  is down from last week’s median  list price of $499,990.   The  Market Action Index (MAI see below chart) has been trending down lately, while inventory is climbing.  These trends imply a weakening market.   i

Average days-on-market: 69 days up from last week’s 67 days. Percent of properties with price decreases: 34% is unchanged from last week’s 34%

Localized real estate market reports are great for getting a “feel” of what that specific market is doing.  For a more accurate pricing on residential property a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) needs to be done comparing your home with current properties that have sold recently in your neighborhood.

Supply and Demand

The Bothell real estate market has started cooling over time and prices plateaued for a while.  Despite the consistent decrease in MAI, we’re in the Seller’s zone.   Watch for changes in the MAI.  If the MAI resumes it’s climb, prices will  likely follow suit.  If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices. 

  Price

The  Bothell real estate market appears to be hovering around this plateau.  Look for a persistent change in the Market Action Index before we see prices deviate from these levels.   Sign up to have FREE WEEKLY UPDATES on the latest Bothell real estate market trends e-mailed to you weekly.

Adrian, The MAI is definitely moving upwards and you would expect prices to follow if things remain status quo.
