The Eastside real estate data for February is here! Despite increased inventory, increased days on market, and slower velocity, February prices for condos and single family homes combined increased year over year by 8.3% to a median price of $1.41M. Active listings inventory increased by 49.4% to end the month at 1,400 available homes. Average days on market increased 43.3% to 43 days. Closed sales decreased 13% from last year to 374 closings for the month. Despite increased choice for buyers, prices are still on the upward swing, indicating that buyers are all chasing a limited inventory of homes that check all the boxes. For buyers, prepare for competition. Get pre-approved and even fully underwritten if you can. Work with your broker to determine your winning strategy up-front. Sellers: ensure that you are doing everything you can to position your home to appeal to a broad range of buyers. De-clutter, de-personalize, address deferred maintenance, and spruce up your home so buyers can envision themselves in the space. Stage it if you can and make it easy for buyers to tour.
