 The MAY 2023 stats are OUT for Spokane real estate! This month and next are the most telling for how and when the market took its turn when rates increased. May 2023 median home prices are down 8.4% from May 2022. They declined more than that, but have been making a recovery. If you are waiting to buy, one thing to consider is that when/if rates go "down" the floodgates of buyers on the sidelines will create more bidding wars, and higher prices, and $ over list price, so buying now could be wise! (You can refinance IF rates come down)AND This IS the best time to SELL your house in the Spokane area, for real. Best time of year, super low inventory!  #bethanninspokane #spokanerealestatemarket #spokaneremaxagent  06/07/2023

May 2023 Statistics are out for the Spokane Washington Real Estate Market.These refelect April 2022 VS April 2023.We are experiencing less sales overall , by 32%.

The statistics are out for the Spokane Association of Realtors for Feb. 2023, reflecting year over year. Feb 2023 vs. Feb 2022.Prices are down considerably from the peak of the market last May 2022  when the median home price was 450K, now it is 375K. The increase in interest rates, coupled with this marked drop in prices makes a more even playing field for sellers and buyers, and the results are less total number of transactions, while consumers are navigating these changes. Spokane has seen this drastic decline in prices because our home prices escalated so much in the 3 years prior, due to large numbers of people relocating here, and Covid conditions (virtual buyers). There is still a marked lack of inventory, and people often still have the need or desire to buy and sell, regardless... 03/07/2023

The latest stats for December 2022 are out from the Spokane Association of Realtors!These numbers reflect the changes year over year from Nov. 2021- vs. Nov. 2022.The median price is now 395,000. (The high for 2022 reached 450K in May/June )We are experiencing a more "normal" market, however inventory is still "low" at a 2.2 month supply of homes. ( a balanced market would have 5-6 month supply ) Therefore, the perk for sellers is that there are still not nearly neough homes on the market, and buyers are getting used to the changes in interest rates, as they see the favorable side of home prices softening.There were 43% less closings in Nov. 2022 than in Nov. 2021.
