Home Prices in Seattle Washington for January 2013

Home Prices in Seattle Wa for January 2013

 

Home Prices in Seattle Wa for January 2013

Real Estate market data for Seattle, Washington provided by Jason E. Cook of Windermere Real Estate/East Inc.

Seattle home prices 

-748 pending sales in January, up 17% from last year and 3rd highest, for January, ever.  Do not buy into the mindset that the reduced inventory equates to inability to find a good home.  The market proves otherwise. 

-Seattle inventory is down 47% year over year.  Do you see that as a problem or an opportunity?  My view is that a meaningful opportunity exists for both the seller and the buyer.  My job and responsibility, since I truly understand the market, is to connect and educate those that might be best served by taking action now.  

 

 

Buyers in this market are:

-Move up buyers.   
-Solidly employed Gen X and Y's who want to secure a long term fixed housing cost and the benefits of home ownership vs. annual rental price growth, which is approximately 5% locally today.   
-People who wanted to sell, or maybe tried to sell over the last 5 years, but it did not pencil.  Today it might.  How excited are people that put life on hold for financial reasons, to learn that they have choices that they might not have realized? 
My goal is to provide market data and strategies for you to take advantage of current market opportunities.
 

 
The Median closed price in January for single family homes in Seattle is $422,953.  The closed price increased by 13% from 2011.
 
The total number of active listings were 974.  This was down from 2012 which had 1,128 actives listings in just one year.  A 44% decrease.  But what does that mean to me?  It means LESS supply!  
 
The Total number of closed sales for January 2013 was 384.  This is up 6% from January 2012.  Bottom line, there is very little homes for sale, buyers are still buying, and prices are rising!

A nice review

by Jason Cook

 
Jason E. Cook was a great asset in getting our condo sold. He went above and beyond on multiple occasions – coordinating move-out cleaning, carpet cleaning (including offering to do the carpet cleaning himself if no one else was available) and staging, scheduling open houses and welcoming every potential buyer with a smile. He did a phenomenal job of marketing, including creating a customized website, direct mail campaign, follow-ups with buyers agents, and many other small and large tasks. Negotiations and documents were a breeze with his guidance. Definitely a great realtor to have on your team!

Community Service Day!

by Jason Cook

Today is our annual Community Service Day.  We will be working in our community to make things a little brighter for our neighbors.

Every year since 1984, Windermere associates have dedicated a day of work to complete neighborhood improvement projects as part of Windermere’s Community Service Day.

Creating vibrant communities is one of the things that inspire all of us at Windermere to be involved in Community Service Day as it
gives us an opportunity to give back to the communities where we live and work.

After all, real estate is rooted in our communities. And an investment in our neighborhoods gives us all a better place to call home.

 

Thank you again for all of your support to a great day!

 

Lending a helping hand!
