🏠 Will Seattle see 400+ new listings this week?
Here is What You Need to Know This Week
Spring break is in the rearview mirror, and the Seattle market is officially waking up. We expect over 400 new listings to hit the market this week (or next), a significant milestone as we head into the busiest weeks of the year for new listings. So if you are hunting for a single-family home in the sub-$2M range, relief is on the horizon! Meanwhile, buyers looking for condos and townhomes will find themselves in an increasingly strong position. To top it off, interest rates have retreated from 6.6% to a more moderate 6.3%, giving buyers a little extra breathing room to make their move.
Our Frelard Listing closed for nearly 20% over asking after a competitive 9-offer scenario. Our sellers had already done the heavy lifting by remodeling the main floor, opening up the kitchen, and updating the bathroom. To bring it over the finish line, we handled:
- Full interior and exterior paint
- Fresh landscaping
- Staging
- A pre-inspection to reduce unknowns and contingencies
The Result: 44 showings, 50 groups through the open houses, and 9 offers
What else have we been busy with?
- Central District: Our listing with a $100K backyard is now pending after just 12 days on the market.
- New Listing: We just brought a beautiful townhome to market overlooking a serene greenbelt in Delridge.
- First-Time Buyer: Successfully guided a first-time buyer through the purchase of their first condo with a great view.
- Queen Anne: Negotiated 6% off the list price for a buyer looking for that perfect view.
