What are the best neighborhoods in Seattle for families?

Seattle has a number of great neighborhoods for families, though I don't have a breakdown of which specific ones are "best." I can tell you about the current housing market across the whole Seattle area, which should help you with your search. The median listing price in the Seattle area is $780,000. This is actually a slight increase from last month, up by 0.5%, but it's 2.4% lower than it was a year ago. This means prices have dipped a bit over the past year. There are more homes for sale right now compared to last year. Active listings are up 21.0% with 10,456 homes available. However, fewer new homes are coming onto the market, down 8.4% compared to last year, with 6,100 new listings. Homes are staying on the market longer. The median days on market is 36 days, which is 20.0% longer than a year ago. Also, 19.0% of homes have dropped their prices, a bit more than last year. About 0.45 homes are going under contract for every home listed for sale, which is a bit slower than last year. This suggests that buyers have a little more breathing room as homes aren't being snatched up quite as quickly. As a family looking for a home, you might find more options compared to last year, and potentially have a bit more time to make a decision since homes are staying on the market longer and some are seeing price reductions.
