Supply of Homes for Sale Struggling to Keep Up with Demand

With our region's continued strong demand for housing, King and Snohomish counties' supply of housing inventory for sale fell to just three weeks. That is notably low in light of the fact that many analysts consider a four-to-six month level as an indicator of a healthy market. Meanwhile, both counties continued to see double-digit, year-over-year single family home price increases, reaching $425,000 in Snohomish County and nearly $600,000 in King County during March. In Seattle, the median single family home price rose to $700,000.

Home Prices Up Amid Continued Inventory Crunch

King and Snohomish counties continue to have less than one month's supply of housing inventory for sale. Our region's low supply coupled with strong demand is driving up home prices. The latest market summary from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service shows median home prices are up 14 percent year-over-year in both counties during February.
