Home Sales in Central Seattle WA in September 2008

Home values in central Seattle Washington have been pretty flat since March. The median priced home has been hovering just above or just below $600,000. In September it jumped down to $571,475. Sales volume has been flat as well hovering around 50 homes sold each month with 48 selling in September.

Buyers are having a tough time getting financing with the current credit crunch. I expect the number of homes sold in October to remain around 50 and the median priced home to move downward.

Home Sales in North Seattle WA for September 2008

In September home values in north Seattle Washington continue to move down. The median priced home sold for $435,125. Sales volume continues to decrease as well with only 112 total homes sold.

With the current economic and credit crisis the world is dealing with, it is no surprise that the real estate market is moving downward. I expect values to continue to slip and volumes to remain relatively flat in October in north Seattle.
