Seattle cooled noticeably in August but still held its competitive edge. The median residential sold price dropped to $920,000, down 8% from both July and a year ago. Even so, nearly a quarter of homes still sold above asking, while 41% required a price cut first, reflecting a market that provides more incentive for sellers to price strategically and more room for buyers to negotiate. Homes still moved quickly, with 72% going under contract within 30 days. DM me to talk through what this means for you.
