In 5 of the 7 Seattle-eastside real estate areas, sales percentages were up by a lot from last year!  Sales increases ranged from 13.5% in Redmond/Carnation to 47% in Redmond/East Bellevue.

We also saw a huge drop in the number of homes for sale on Seattle’s eastside over the past few months.  A higher percentage of  home sales and less homes for sale is good news.  The market is still challenging.   The homes with the best value proposition of price and condition  grab the attention of the buyers.  These are homes that are selling.
