NEW NEWS: Inventory is finally up.
New listings and total home inventory took a big leap recently. In King County, more people put their homes on the market in May than any May in the past 10 years. And the total number of homes for sale increased by 40 percent from a year ago. Why the big leap? Home prices have risen so sharply that sellers are finally jumping into the market. That’s good news for buyers, who have more choices than they’ve had in years.
OLD NEWS: There still aren’t enough homes to meet demand.
While King County now has about a month of available inventory, four to six months of inventory is considered a balanced market. Despite the increase in listings, it’s still a seller’s market.
