WOW. All I can say is, buyers are buying, even though they have 25% less choices ( listed homes for sale ) than last year at this time. This truly speaks to the increase in numbers of serious buyers, and the fact that sellers have an advantage because there are not enough homes for sale in the Spokane area!
My year has been steady, and I am so thankful to have such amazing clients and such a great pool of lenders, title companies and closers to help make selling a home in Spokane WA a good experience. Although the number of people buying a home in Spokane has obviously increased the past year, historically interest rates are still great, and even though it was an election year, people still have great confidence in the dream of home ownership.
In comparing November 2016 to November 2015 the impact of the 2015 wind storm is apparent.

The median sales price for November 2016 was $192,750 an increase of 9.2% over last November’s median sales price of $176,500.

The average year to date sales price is $212,467 up 7.5% from last year’s average sales price through November of $197,598.
