2017 was another record breaking year for Seattle real estate. In addition to Washington’s economy growing 3.7% in the last year1, Seattle has seen median home prices increase to +$900,000 in some areas and inventory levels remaining at record lows. While our growth has positioned us at the forefront of the nation, we continue to struggle with low inventory. Why so low? The largest component is employment, with Amazon in the lead. Additionally, Seattle is attractive to startups with 1,200 new businesses establishing annually2. Combine the success of several other Fortune 500 companies bringing +47,700 new jobs3 and the population averaging +500 new residents per week4, the demand for homes has far exceeded our current supply.
So, what can we expect for 2018? Continued low interest rates, increase in demand, and low inventory levels will make for aggressive competition on available homes. Ultimately, we anticipate prices to continue upward. How can you position yourself successfully in this market? Skilled negotiation and broker relationships are key factors in successfully closing transactions. Leading our area with nearly 30% of Seattle’s market share, Windermere brokers work tirelessly to establish strong relationships that ultimately identify and match the needs of buyers and sellers, resulting in more successful real estate transactions than any other firm in Seattle.
