How’s the real estate market? 🙋‍♀️

With a lot going on in the housing market, it's a very pivotal time for both buyers and sellers.

There's a lot of economic uncertainty around us & quite frankly, it is causing a lot of people to push pause on their plans. A realtor’s expertise is more important than ever to be able to navigate this market.

The Seattle real estate market has been 🔥 since the pandemic but things are changing. Home prices in the Seattle area remain well above where they were a year ago but the market is cooling off. September showed signs of a more “normal” market with a natural slowdown of pending sales during this time of year. There was about the same number of new listings as in pre-pandemic, but with less intensity and a lower percentage of homes going under contract.

The median price for all home types in King County sold for $789,000 in September, a 6.8% increase from the previous year. Prices in Pierce County were $520,000 (+4%), Snohomish County was $687,500 (+8.3%), and Kitsap County was $524,998 (+11.2%).

Buyers- YOU have a huge advantage in today’s market & should consider stepping into the market now. Buyers now have more power & are back to negotiating terms in their offer such as closing cost assistance, and even funds to buy down your interest rate. Also an increase in inventory allows you to have more options.

❓Will mortgage rates keep rising? The Federal Reserve is making moves to lower inflation and until inflation is down, we’ll likely see mortgage rates rise. And, as I’ve said before, inflation is the enemy of long term interest rates, and that's exactly where we are today.

Have a question on a particular neighborhood or home type? Want a market snapshot specifically on your home? That’s what I love to do 🤍

How’s the real estate market? 🙋‍♀️ Numbers are in for August!

❇️ Inflation is the enemy of interest rates, and that’s something that I am following closely. The Federal Reserve doesn’t call mortgage rates, but they’re making moves to ease inflation; Rising rates have caused many buyers to step out of the home-buying or selling process so if mortgage rates stabilize, we’ll see more buyers back in the market.

❇️ On average, home prices are projected to continue rising. But at the same time, there are some overheated markets throughout the country, especially out on the West Coast where there will likely be price declines, we’re seeing this in some Puget Sound markets right now. Home-price appreciation is still expected to move forward based on today’s buyer demand and low inventory. Prices are simply growing at a more “normal” pace compared to the last few years.

❇️ Let’s talk affordability. The housing affordability index that NAR releases suggests that affordability has decreased. Compared to one year ago, the monthly mortgage payment rose by 53.7 percent nationally. So, homes less affordable right now.

❇️ 3 things you can do right now if you are struggling with affordability👇👇👇

1️⃣ Expand your search area and criteria. If you are looking at buying a home near the city center, you may need to expand your radius into where things might be more affordable.

2️⃣ Explore alternative financing options. If you don’t have a great lender, I can hook you up with someone to help you understand what you qualify for. There are different products that are available in the market so it’s important to explore those alternative financing options.

3️⃣ Look for grants in your area, A.K.A. gift funds. There are sources to find out things such as first-time homebuyer down payment, credits, grants.

🌺 Any questions? Just send me a DM and I’m happy to chat!

How’s the real estate market? 🙋‍♀️

Numbers are officially in for July! I provide these monthly to give you the most up-to-date info on the market.

🔑 Listing counts are increasing! So more new inventory/listings coming to the market, and they’re ticking up at a faster pace. Which means that there are more new homes coming to the market for buyers and there are more options available.

🔑 Number of offers received on a home has declined on average. What that means is this rising mortgage rate environment is starting to soften demand.

🔑 The pace of sales is slowing. Sales have softened due to rising rates, economic pressures, inflationary pressures, all the things that are impacting the housing market right now. And when you compare that to last year & the year before, we have to remember that it’s slower now because those were absolutely incredible years (record-breaking). So when we think about this contextually, yes, the pace of sales is slowing, but we’re slowing back to the pre-pandemic years, which were fantastic years for the housing market.

🔑 We still have far more buyers than we have sellers. That’s continuing to put upward pressure on prices.

✅ So with new listings coming to the market and the pace of sales slowing- Home sales have essentially returned to the level seen prior to the pandemic, after 2 years of gangbuster performance. So there are more options available & more active inventory on the market.

‼️ Buyers- If you were frustrated over the last couple of years in the inability to find a home, rising inventory can change that. Take advantage of having more options, negotiation power, etc.

‼️ Sellers- Readjust your expectations in this current market. We’re in a time right now, as the market shifts, where a lot of people have priced their homes aspirationally and there are a lot of sellers right now that haven’t adjusted to that market. Pricing right is critical today.
