August 2014 Seattle Condo Update

By on September 20, 2014 in Feature, Market Updates, Real Estate with 0 Comments

The Seattle citywide condo median sales price recovered a bit in August after a tumble in July, increasing to $299,000. That reflected a one-month and year-over-year gain of 4.1% and 0.5%, respectively.

Last month, the north Seattle areas experienced the largest year-over-year gains, while downtown and Capitol Hill exhibited a decline. However, all areas except downtown reflected month-over-month improvement in sale price values.

The number of available Seattle condos for sale, excluding pre-sale new construction units, reduced in August to 443 properties, a -6.6% one-month and -18.6% one-year drop. There were 100 fewer properties for sale in August compared to the same period last year, which is quite a dip. Though, the condo inventory supply rate remained at 1.5-months of supply. As we head towards Autumn and Fall, the inventory will seasonally constrict further.
