Seattle Condo Market Real Estate Stats
Updated February 2023
The numbers for what the downtown Seattle condo market did in January are out. The headline is that the median price, after a few big months of losses has bounced back to $667,500 putting us back to mid-2022 pricing. The thing to keep in mind right now is that there just aren’t that many sales of downtown condos so the median price is pretty volatile!

Seattle Condo Months of Supply Inventory (Pending)
Months of supply, a measure of how long it’d take to sell all the homes for sale if no new homes hit the market was down to 2.5 from 2.6 in December. A balanced market is considered to be 3 months, so interesting to note that we were at a balanced market but straying from that, likely due to low inventory (potential sellers don’t want to list and take a loss?)
