  Northwest Seattle’s real estate inventory tightening, demand up
 
This Week:
 
The median list price in northwest Seattle is $849,950 up from last week’s $762,500.  Inventory has been lightening lately and the Market Action Index  (see below MAI chart) has been trending up. Though days -on-market is increasing, these are mildly positive indications for the market.
 
Average days-on-market (109 days) up  from last week’s (102 days), asking price per square foot $316, median house size 2915 (sq ft).
 
 
Supply and Demand
 
Home sales continue to outstrip supply and the Market Action Index has been moving higher for several weeks.  This is a Seller’s market so watch for upward pricing pressure in the near future if the trend continues.
 
 
 
  Price
 
Again this week we see prices in northwest Seattle remain roughly at the level they’ve been for several weeks. Since we’re significantly below the top of the market, look for  persistent up-shift in the Market index before we see prices move from these levels.

Sounds like your market is just about right. Doing well but not overheated. Good news.
