Record number of homes for sale (this year)
Some nice weather is on the horizon! Did you see you can rent a waterfront home that just sold for $5m for “only” $8k a month? Or you could buy our old floating home if you wanted to live on the water (let’s be neighbors!).
What’s the market doing? After a slow week for new listings due to the long weekend, new listings bounced back last week and rates have now eased to nearly 7%. The number of homes for sale in Seattle is again at an all-time high for the year and up 29% over last year (graph); expect prices decline in the second half of the year as supply exceeds buyer demand.
Finally, we handed off keys to our 7th buyer at Spire last week!
