Homes Sold in zip codes 98119, 98199, 98107, 98117, and 98103 February 2007

Compared to January, home sales in February picked up nicely. In February, 203 homes sold in Seattle zip codes 98119, 98199, 98107, 98117, and 98103. Of those, 121 sold within the first 30 days and received 100.25% of the listing price, 29 sold between 31 and 60 days and received 99.14% of the listing price, 22 sold between 61 and 90 days and received 98.41% of the listing price, 12 sold between 91 and 120 days and received 99% of listing price, and 9 sold 120+ and received 98.85% of listing price. In February of 2006 fewer homes sold but the price-sold compared to the price-listed has slipped by about 1%.

I advise Sellers to be careful when choosing a listing price. As it clearly shows above, homes that are not priced right take longer to sell and typically sell for less. Appreciation is looking good for the greater Queen Anne, Magnolia, Ballard, Greenlake area. The average home appreciated 8% and the median home appreciated 9% for the month of February 2006 compared to 2007. See below for more specific information for each zip code.

I advise Buyers to be ready to move when they find a home that fits their criteria. As it show above there is competition for homes that are priced right.
