Best up-and-coming neighborhoods in Seattle?

I can only give you general Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue market trends, not specific neighborhood recommendations. Looking at the big picture, Seattle is seeing more homes for sale, meaning more choices for you. The total number of homes for sale, called active listings, has grown quite a bit. There are now 10,456 homes on the market, which is 21.0% more than last year. This increase in available homes suggests that you might have more options to choose from as a buyer. Even with more homes available overall, fewer new homes are being put up for sale. New listings are down by 8.4% compared to last year, with only 6,100 new homes hitting the market. This could mean that while there are more choices now, the flow of brand-new options is slowing down. Homes are also staying on the market longer before they go under contract. The median time a house spends on the market is now 36 days, which is 20.0% longer than it was last year. This longer time on the market could give you more breathing room to make decisions. The median listing price is $780,000, which has stayed pretty stable over the last month, rising only 0.5%. However, compared to last year, prices are down 2.4%. This slight dip could mean you might find homes at a slightly better value than a year ago. What this all means for you is that despite fewer new homes appearing, the overall increase in available homes and the longer time they spend on the market could give you more power as a buyer. You have more to choose from and potentially more time to negotiate.
