Sick of the Hype?

Seattle Real Estate Update From Redfin

By Emily

I just got a monthly update on the state of the Seattle real estate market from my real estate brokerage, Redfin.

Showings are up… More buyers are looking but not buying yet.
Redfin’s traffic is through the roof: up 43% in January, and probably another 30% in February. Other websites have reported similar gains.

Seattle Real Estate Market Down 13%
Year over year in 2008, the Seattle real estate market is down over 13% and down 16% from the peak. Read more Seattle real estate stats.

More Distressed Sales
According to Redfin stats man Mose Andre, 11% of the listings in Redfin’s major markets (Seattle, California, Chicago, D.C., etc.) are being sold by banks, up from 3% in April 2008.

Check out Redfin’s blog for more fun real estate statistics and a way to buy real estate without paying your realtor an arm an a leg.

Or register for a webinar on how you can take advantage of today’s distressed housing market.

Time to put out the rain buckets!
