Should I move to Seattle?

Relocating to Seattle means a median listing price of $783,250. Prices are up a little from last month, but down compared to last year. More homes are for sale now than in the past.

The Seattle area has a lot of homes for sale right now, but prices have come down a bit from last year. You'll find more choices, and homes are taking a little longer to sell than they used to. There are 11,644 homes currently on the market, which is a big increase (20.6%) compared to last year. This means you have more options to choose from as a buyer. The typical home is listed at $783,250. This is actually a little less (2.0%) than what homes were going for last year. So, while there are more homes available, prices are also slightly lower. Homes are staying on the market for an average of 37 days before going under contract. This is a bit longer than last year, suggesting that buyers have more time to make decisions and are not feeling as rushed. About 21.2% of homes have had their prices reduced. This means nearly one in four sellers have already dropped their asking price, which could give you more room to negotiate. Given the increase in available homes and the slight dip in prices, now could be a good time to explore your options if you're thinking of moving to Seattle. You might find a better deal and have less competition.
