APRIL 2016 was another RECORD SETTING MONTH FOR SEATTLE REAL ESTATE!!!  

The median price of a Seattle home is now $ 624,975.  This is a new record.    

There were 495 PENDING sales in April | 680 transactions CLOSED | There were 298 ACTIVE listings in the Seattle real estate market.

There is .6 of a month supply of inventory | The .6 ratio is a strong SELLER’S MARKET INDICATOR.Any ratio under 3.0 is a seller’s market indicator. Any ratio between 3.0 and 6.0 is a neutral market indicator. Any ratio over 6.0 is a buyer’s market indicator.   

The story remains LACK OF INVENTORY. EPIC RECORD SETTING LOW INVENTORY!!!

In the month of April, the AVERAGE list price vs sales price for Seattle was 106%. So the average home sold for 6% over the asking price.   

The AVERAGE days on market for a Seattle home was 8 days before they accepted an offer.
