The Roosevelt-Ravenna-Maple Leaf real estate market starting to see some headwinds
This week:
The median list price in Seattle’s Roosevelt-Ravenna Maple Leaf neighborhoods is $717,475 up from last week’s $650,000. Inventory has been decreasing lately but the Market Action Index (see MAI chart below) is falling also. With days-on-market climbing, these are relatively negative implications for the market.
Supply and Demand
The market has been cooling over time and prices have recently flattened. Despite the consistent decrease in Market Action Index, we’re in a Seller’s Market. If the MAI begins to climb, prices will likely follow suit. If the MAI drops consistently or falls into the Buyer’s zone, watch for downward pressure on prices.

Prices
While the median price in the Maple Leaf-Ravenna- Roosevelt areas hasn’t moved much in the last few weeks, we are relatively close to the market’s high-watermark. Watch for persistent downward shift in the Market Action Index into the Buyer’s zone as a leading indicator of the price strength subsiding.
