Lets start with the bad news first. The median price for Seattle condos fell for the third consecutive month; it now stands at $305,000, a 3.3% decrease compared to October. And, as we’d expect with cyclical patterns, fewer condos were sold last month, though pendings transactions remained unchanged.
The good news? Overall, Seattle’s condo market performed very well in November. While the month over month figures show a downward trend in the median price, compared to a year ago, median price rose 2.5%, the 11th consecutive month that 2007 sale prices have outpaced 2006. Additionally, the number of closed sales increased 15.3% over the prior year. Buyers are still buying and sellers are still experiencing value appreciation.
