 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

 Greetings from BethAnn in Spokane! Here are the latest stats for the Spokane market! These numbers reflect year over year, March 2022 vs. March 2023. If you have any questions about the Spokane real estate market, I am always happy to chat. We are still experiencing colder than normal weather, so my educated guess is that things will begin to "heat up" in the real estate market when the Spring weather lands!  #bethanninspokane #housingmarketupdates #spokanewashington #spokanerealtor #spokaneremaxagent #homeprices

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...

January 2023 Spokane, Washington real estate market stats are out!These numbers refelect the one year change from Jan 2022 vs Jan 2023.There are many ways to view /track stats. Some people post the month over month real estate stats, however due to the 4 distinct seasons in Spokane, I feel that comparing the market from one year ago, same month, is more informative and telling.In the height of the Spring market 2022, our prices escalated to 450K for the median home price here, now we are at 365K . Big changes! There are "upsides" to every market. I had a phenominal 2022 in real estate- and i am looking forward to a great 2023!I would love to answer any questions you have about the Spokane real estate market!#bethanninspokane #spokaneremaxagent #spokanewashington #housingmarket #remaxhus...

The Spokane WA statistics are out for Dec. 2022 and they tell a vivid story.For the first time in a few years, prices are lower in Dec. 2022 than they were in Dec. 2021. The over escalation of home prices in popular areas, like Spokane is settling into a more normal range. The increased interest rates are creating this ripple effect.Homes just last Spring were often on the market for just hours, and average days on market is now 31 days.Higher priced homes are taking considerably longer to sell, as the buyer pool is much smaller.127% more homes on the market in Dec. 2022 vs. 2021. This is good news for buyers, they have more choices. When the market was clipping along at lightening speed in 2020-21, many buyers regretted their choice of homes, and many bought remotely.The fact that ther...

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. That is VERY significant!I believe it is good for both seller and buyer to be able to take things at a mre reasonable pace....

It's November, 2022- and the market is speaking. The "median" home price in Spokane has fallen 12.4% since May, but is still up 6.5% over October of 2021.With 34.1 % less closings than this time last year, we see it is much more difficult to put a deal together, where seller is ok with the softer prices- and buyer is ok with the higher interest rates.Some people choose to sell/but based on market conditions. But most people move for personal or professional reasons.Personally, I am thankful that the housing market is less "frantic" than it was in the last few years.Carefully examining your "why" and "when" is important when selling or buying a home, but I have also seen many people over think this. Timing the market is difficult. I would love to chat with you about your real estate goal...

September 2022 Spokane Market Stats, compared to Sept. 2021 are showing a vastly different market enviroment, and the trend is continuing ,to change- mostly due to the increased interest rates.  In May 2022, our % year over year was 20% increase in value. It is now 7.9% increase year over year, so yes prices have fallen sharply, but still are well over this time last year.  The fact that there were 30% less closings in Sept. 2022 than the year before, is very significant. Sellers need far more patience, and buyers are frusterated that they have to look in lower price ranges now, due to the drastic interest rate increases. All in all, there is little to no resemblence to how the market was just this past Spring- and today. However- there are still people who need or want to move- and tha...

 August 14th 2022 from "BethAnn in Spokane" The lastest stats came out this past week, for the Spokane, Wa real estate market. Here are some additional comments:We are seeing an average of 175 price reductions each week on the Spokane MLS. One a home sells, the average sales price was 101% of the (last) list price. With sales down 30% we can really feel how the market is returning to a more normal pace. There are twice as many homes for sale as there was this time last year. I see this as a good thing, a more healthy balance. Buyers have more choices (yeah!) and in general, everyone feels less frantic. These numbers represent year over year (July 2022 vs July 2021). I am always happy to answer any questions you have about the Spokane area real estate market!

May 2022 Spokane Real Estate Market stats are out ! Reflecting back on April of 2022, there is much to note about the market shifting . Yes , interest rates are going up a bit , and this will begin to have an effect to slow down the abnormally dramatic increase in home prices we have experienced in the past two years .Here are a few things to note : homes sold last month for an average of 5 % OVER the list price , and in just 4 days … if there was EVER a great time to sell your house in the Spokane area , it’s still NOW ! Buyers must have a very strategic plan ( I am having great success getting our buyers under contract, the ones who will take our clear advice ) . If you have any questions about the real estate market in the Spokane area . I would love to chat ! #bethanninspokane #spo...

The Spokane, Washington real estate market is alive and well. It is still a sellers market, due to the number of homes on the market vs active buyers. The supply and demand continues to create bidding wars, and is a real challenge for buyers. In this current market, the most important thing that a buyer can do is improve their cash position ( larger down payment, more earnest money- plus additional funds for an appraisal gap) and the second most important thing, is for buyers to really listen to their agent in regard to the local market trends.  We find that buyers who hope to be an "exception to the rule" get very weary in todays market.With interest rates on the rise, some buyers are getting discouraged. Let me remind you that we bought our first home at 11.8% interest rate, and that ...

Greetings from Spokane Washington! As a life long resident of Spokane, and a Realtor with almost 19 years of experience, I am in awe at the number of people relocating to Spokane. We have had so much press the past few years, we are now consistently between #1 -3 in the NATION for number of bidding wars, and we have been written up in the New York Times (recently  although I can't say I agree with the article)https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/20/business/economy/spokane-housing-expensive-cities.htmlI have always loved my city, minus a few weeks in the winter when I am more than ready for Spring... I never moved away, and many people who do, come back.There are so many wonderful areas in our town, each with unique personality, look and feel. We have done great getting our buyers under cont...

Greetings from Spokane WA. One of the " hottest" real estate markets in the USA.It was a very "tight" year for inventory (number of homes on the market ) vs number of active buyers.  All indications point to another record year predicted for 2022 for my home city of Spokane.

Greetings from Spokane WA - from "BethAnn in Spokane"The 2021 Spokane WA real estate market has been "hot and bothered " depending on what your goals were. Sellers seem to be in the drivers seat, however buyers  agents are getting so creative that it has made a real difference in how offers are chosen. Realtor.com has predicted that Spokane WA will be the third hottest real estate market in 2022!   https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/competition-fierce-for-2022-top-10-housing-markets/  I had a record year in 2021, and I am ready for whatever 2022 has to bring.I believe that regardless of the increase in value over the past year (24%) , due to the demand of people relocating to the Spokane area, we will remain a very stable market. Buyers are smart to take advantage of the still historic...

As a lifelong resident of Spokane WA, I never had to look elsewhere to experience magical Holiday experiences! Growing up, it was mostly playing in the snow, going to church, and my moms home made Christmas painted windows. Rasing our kids in Spokane, there was almost always a "White Christmas" filled with sledding, making snowmen, and living in Winter Wonderland!One of our TV stations here has a list of 101 things to do over the holidays, KXLY has this link : https://www.kxly.com/101-things-to-do-in-the-inland-northwest-this-holiday-season-2/Some of my favorite more recent Holiday " musts" are attending Christmas Tree Elegence , a fundraiser for the Spokane symphony: :https://spokanesymphonyassoc.org/home/christmas-tree-elegance/Another is the lights at Manito Park !https://thefriendso...

Greetings from Spokane WA.The market statistics in September, reflecting back on Aug. 2021 shows the historically enormous % of our average home price as up by 27.4%  over Aug. 2020.The demand is just far too much for the available supply of homes. I am seeing less offers per listing, reflecting the fact that more buyers tend to be out in the Spring. When people ask " how is the market?" it is important to note that each price range could vary on answers, so digging a little deeper on the neighborhood, price range is key.The Spokane area continues to get a lot of attention in the press for a great place to relocate, retire, invest.  Below is the latest year over year statistics from the Spokane Association of Realtors.Wishing you a beautiful Fall !

Greetings from BethAnn in Spokane. You hear it all around the country, not enough homes for sale, but here in Spokane it is a real crisis ! We had 224 homes on the market, we could sell 2000! (Literally ).I am stunned at the level of interest in my HOME TOWN ! I clearly recall the days when people from bigger cities and other areas poked fun at us "Spokanites". Now it seems everyone wants to live here! The quality of life, natural beauty and 4 distinct Seaons is a real draw to our area. I have never known a better time to SELL your Spokane home! Yes, it can be a challenge to find just the right " place to go ", however there are creative ways to help sellers find the right next home. The market is often painful for buyers, due to the lack of suppy vs. demand. But it is not impossible !L...
