Market Trends: First Quarter of 2022

Market Trends: First Quarter of 2022

The first quarter of 2022 was a tale of two real estate journeys. For sellers, their opportunities were bolstered by low inventory, escalating competition and often driving offers over list prices. For buyers, the market was plagued by low inventory, with few opportunities and massive competition making it difficult to secure a home across Western Washington—just as interest rates started to tick back up. If we follow the trendlines from the first quarter of the year, then it’s still a great time to list a home for sale. With inventory low, and buyer demand remaining steady, year-over-year median price gains are likely to continue.

"Laura's professionalism, considerable market knowledge and attention to detail impressed us from the start. She guided us proactively and confidently through the process, culminating in the successful sale of our home in Queen Anne before we relocated overseas. We were very grateful for her insight and would not hesitate to recommend her services."

In the interest of full disclosure, I simply adore a home with a walk-out backyard…when your kitchen, living room, and dining room all spill out onto your patio-well, that invites fabulous entertaining & conversations.
