What are the safest neighborhoods in Seattle?

I cannot tell you which neighborhoods are the "safest." I can only share information about housing market trends. Your best bet is to check local crime statistics for that kind of information. The number of homes for sale in the Seattle area has gone up quite a bit. There are now 10,456 active listings, which is 21% more than last year. This means you have more choices if you are looking to buy a home. However, fewer new homes are coming onto the market. There are 6,100 new listings, which is 8.4% less than last year. This could mean that while there are more homes overall, the freshest options are a bit scarcer. Homes are also taking longer to sell. The typical home is on the market for 36 days, which is 20% longer than it was last year. This gives buyers more time to consider their options without feeling rushed. Overall, the market has cooled down a bit. The median listing price is $780,000, which is slightly higher than last month but 2.4% lower than last year. This change suggests a more balanced market compared to previous times. If you are a buyer, this could be a good time to look due to more availability and slower sales. If you are selling, be prepared for your home to potentially sit on the market longer than it might have in the past.
