Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – August 2022 The summer continues to heat up, and patient buyers are being rewarded as market shifts create a new dynamic between buyers and sellers.

Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – July 2022 Cooler temperatures and a cooler regional real estate market have been this summer’s hallmark thus far. After months of blazing hot sales and a breakneck pace, buyers are finally seeing inventory levels accelerate and price gains slow. With inspection and financing contingencies once again becoming the norm, the region may at last be shifting toward […]
Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – June 2022 The tides of our local real estate market may at last be shifting, as buyers find relief in increasing inventory and the frenetic pace of sales slows noticeably. At the end of May, inventory across the 26 counties served by the Northwest MLS had increased by 59%, with 8,798 active listings in the database, compared […]
Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – May 2022 After a long stint of suppressed housing inventory across our region, buyers may at last have more options as the supply of available homes ticks up ahead of the summer market.

Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – April 2022 The spring market continues its frenzied pace, with soaring prices and stiff competition testing the resolve of buyers. Despite these obstacles and rising mortgage rates, inventory remains low across King County, as pending sales keep pace with new listings, demonstrating a strong demand from buyers. This demand has factored into the way sellers are approaching […]
Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – March 2022 As we head into the traditionally busy spring season for homebuying, the market seems to be keeping up its intense pace, with low inventory across the board and multiple offers the norm. A marginal increase in listings across King and Snohomish counties has done little to counter fierce buyer demand, with certain areas on the […]
Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – February 2022 The local market in January looked a bit like the calm before the storm. Home prices took a pause from the frantic surges of last year, but if the sales we’ve seen in the last few weeks are any indication, the market looks like it’s heating up again. Inventory inched up in January, but remains […]
Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – January 2022 Record-low temperatures combined with record-low inventory put a chill on housing activity in December.

Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – November 2021 As we head towards the end of the year, the housing market traditionally slows down. This year activity was even slower than normal, with record-low inventory and correspondingly fewer sales.

Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – October 2021 We had a rise in listings in September, but that didn’t stop the inventory from being tight. With a large buyer demand, shortage of homes for sale, and low interest rates, the prices remained higher than the last year. However, as we head into the holiday season, we tend to see a slow down in […]

Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – August 2021 As the temperature went up, so did the amount of homes on the market.

Bellevue Real Estate Local Market Update – July 2021 With the slight spike in the amount of listings in June, it seemed as though there may have been the smallest glimpse of hope for homebuyers.
