Real Estate Sales in Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond, Etc Are Hot!
Red is busting out all over the map of Seattle Real Estate Sales! Red means it’s a sellers market in which homes, on average, are selling in less than 3 months! The numbers are really strong in all of the eastside cities, but top sales go to the 80% sales rate in Redmond and East Bellevue near Microsoft last month! Incredible odds! In every other area on the eastside over 40% of the homes sold.
Closed sales, the sales in which the new buyer now owns the house, are showing lower sales numbers because the homes that closed in March actually got offers in January or February. Expect the number of sales for each of the coming months to jump higher because March home sales will be closing in April and May.. Market time will continue to decrease as this faster sales market continues.
Pricing has still been dropping as you can see below, but should become more stable as the prices from these March sales becomes public. Some areas actually showed an increase in pricing, but remember, it is a representation of the sales that sold in March only.
Multiple offers, a shortage of homes, a huge percentage of homes selling in a short amount of time are all the buzz words for the Seattle eastside real estate market.
The cities below are reported together to follow our MLS areas (multiple listing service) information.

Negative Headlines for Seattle Real Estate?
I thought we were finally past the negative headlines in Seattle real estate, but apparently not. Both The Seattle Times and the PI had articles about the decline in prices. The articles take a look at the latest Case-Shiller Index for January, 2012, which shows closings for December of 2011. The offers for the homes sold in December, 2011 were written a couple of months earlier than December, so the latest Case-Shiller report examines data that is 3-5 months old. The focus in these articles is the decline in real estate prices. There was a small decline in Seattle area real estate prices from January, 2011 to January, 2012.
Is this an accurate picture of today’s local real estate?
Besides the fact that the Case-Shiller report is examining older data, we have to remember to look at pricing over a 3-6 month period to see a real trend and in a very local real estate market. When you examine trends in a more localized area, you see true numbers. The numbers that affect you. Case-Shiller examines 20 metropolitan areas, including the Seattle area. However, this includes not only Seattle, but the surrounding counties: Snohomish, Pierce, and King. The counties are very different real estate animals. Aubrey Cohen said in the PI:
Pierce and Snohomish counties are weaker than King County, dragging down statistics for the metro area.
Within counties, real estate markets are different. In King County, the south is very different from the east. In East King County, in such cities such as Bellevue and Redmond or Sammamish, there are differences. Looking at the Seattle and the surrounding counties does not give the true picture of what is happening in Kirkland, Woodinville or Duvall. Case-Shiller does not tell the local story , the local real estate story that affects you and your home.
What’s really happening with real estate on Seattle’s eastside?
As March comes to a close, we’re in a “hot” market in Seattle and on the eastside in Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and Issaquah. etc. This week in all of King County, there are 6,802 properties for sale. Last year at this time, 10,772 properties were for sale. The eastside is a reflection of these numbers. There is a small supply of available properties. Every day the NWMLS, Northwest Multiple Listing Service, tallies up the number of new listings and sales. On most days, pending sales outpace new listings by about one-third. Many homes are receiving multiple offers, which means their prices are, more often than, not remaining stable. There’s too much demand for housing and not enough houses for sale.
The reality is prices will not go up by much, but they also will not go down on the eastside in most areas with this lack of supply and high demand for homes. Let’s not go back to the past. Let’s focus on the present as much as we can. The Eastside real estate market is hot!
That should be the headline for today’s real estate news.
A Booming Real Estate Market in Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond And Other Eastside Cities in February, 2012
The February Real Estate Map shows a strong sellers market.
Multiple offers, low supply of homes, a huge percentage of homes selling in a short amount of time, all are happening in the eastside communities of Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Issaquah, Woodinville, and Bothell. This is an exciting trend that we expect will continue as long as people feel good about the economy, Seattle companies are hiring and there is this shortage of homes for sale. The national press is jumping on the bandwagon and reporting the uptick in the real estate market. However, I believe this is not happening everywhere. We are among the fortunate areas in the country that are experiencing this positive real estate market.
Almost half of all the homes for sale in Kirkland and Redmond sold this past month! That’s astonishing odds. The cities below are grouped together to follow our MLS areas (multiple listing service). This is how our statistics are reported.

How Was The Real Estate Market In Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Other Eastside Cities At The Start of 2012?
What a difference a month makes! The January Real Estate Map shows a “Seller’s Advantage” in our market!
There’s a lot of “red” on the above Seattle area real estate map! There’s more “red” than we’ve seen in years, and I mean years. What does the “red” mean? It means it’s a seller’s market. The homes that are in the “red” areas sell in less than 3 months on average. In January, most of the eastside was a seller’s market. Mercer Island, West Bellevue, and Kirkland did not quite reach the threshold of a seller’s market, but Kirkland was almost there. The real estate markets in these areas were more evenly balanced between the buyers and sellers as homes sold on average within 3-6 months.
This real estate market is pretty exciting to see after the tough markets of the last few years. But what this really means is that we have a more normal market on Seattle’s eastside. The good homes that are priced right and show well are the homes that are selling quickly and bringing the average market time down. There are and still will be homes that aren’t priced well or don’t show well which will sit on the market and take longer to sell.
The chance of a home selling in the different eastside cities ranged from 15-30%. West Bellevue had the fewest sales when compared to the number of available homes, while the plateau cities of Sammamish, North Bend, and Fall City saw almost a third of the homes sell in one month!
But King County is a big place, and the real-estate market isn’t the same in SeaTac as it is in Sammamish.
A closer look at the statistics reveals significant variations from neighborhood to neighborhood.
It’s good to see the Times recognizing the neighborhood differences, since too many times the media publishes data, which covers too broad an area. This does not give an accurate picture of the real estate data.

How Was The Real Estate Market in your Seattle-Eastside City in November 2011?
If you lived in Kirkland and had your home for sale last month, the odds of it selling in November were 31%, the strongest absorption rate to be found on the eastside.* The homes in East Bellevue and Redmond areas around Microsoft had a 29% chance of selling. Chances of selling ranged from 11-22.5% in the other eastside cities.
Homes in East Bellevue and Redmond near Microsoft sold the fastest on Seattle’s eastside. On average, homes there sold in 2 months. Market time for the other eastside cities, ranged from 3 to 4 months.
This is reasonable market time, indicating a balanced market between buyers and sellers. A balanced market means there’s a more normal market. Some homes sold quickly and others stayed on the market for a long time. Some homes sold for full price and others sold at steep discounts.

Which Eastside City had the Fastest Selling Homes In October, 2011?
Homes in East Bellevue and Redmond near Microsoft sold the fastest on Seattle’s eastside in October. Homes sold in under 2 months, at 59 days. Market time for the other eastside cities, ranged from 99-117 days or just shy of 4 months. This is a reasonable market time as it shows a more of a balanced market between buyers and sellers. It’s actually a normal market and is better for “both sides of the table.”
The odds of selling a home in the Redmond and East Bellevue areas stood at 30%, which also was the strongest absorption rate to be found on the eastside.* Chances of selling ranged from 19-26% in the other eastside cities.
The Redmond and East Bellevue area near Microsoft comes out on top for market time and a higher absorption rate because of more affordable housing, good jobs, an easier commute and good schools. With the main Microsoft campus in Redmond right on the Bellevue line, there are lots of jobs right there. In addition, there’s easier freeway and bus access to Seattle than in the outlying suburbs.
The higher price point in West Bellevue means fewer buyers can afford to live there. Affordability issues increase the market time. Longer market time here is a function of pricing, not desirability. West Bellevue is considered to be one of the best locations on the eastside.
Two of the areas had an increase in the median pricing, Redmond and East Bellevue and Redmond and Education Hill. Changes in median pricing, however, need to be looked at over a period of months since the median price for this month reflects the sales for this month only.
Why is market time important? It’s one indication of the desirability and affordability of an area. Both are key to future growth and appreciation. People like to live in convenient areas with good schools and affordable housing.

Which Seattle Eastside City had the Fastest Real Estate Sales in September 2011?
Aubrey Cohen wrote an article about the fastest selling neighborhoods in Seattle, which prompted me to write this post about the fastest selling neighborhoods on Seattle’s eastside. What happens in Seattle, doesn’t just stay in Seattle, it also happens here on the Eastside!
Homes in East Bellevue and Redmond near Microsoft sold the fastest on Seattle’s eastside in September. Not only did these homes sell more quickly, in 69 days, but out of the 204 homes for sale, 51 got offers. These means that 25% of the homes in the area sold in September, among the best odds on Seattle’s eastside. The odds of selling a home in the Woodinville, Bothell areas also stood at 25%, which means September was one of the best months to sell a home in those cities.
Why do homes in East Bellevue and Redmond sell more quickly? Because they’re close to employment centers and transportation and have a broader range of more affordable housing. With the main Microsoft campus in Redmond and on the border of Bellevue, there’s a huge number of jobs right in the area. In addition, there’s easier freeway and bus access to Seattle than in the outlying suburbs.
West Bellevue is the most expensive area on the eastside, although it’s proximity to Seattle, schools, and housing make it the premier location on the eastside. The higher price point in the area means fewer buyers can afford West Bellevue, which increases the market time. Longer market time here is a function of pricing, not desirability.
Why is market time important? It’s one indication of the desirability and affordability of an area and both are key to future growth and appreciation. People like to live in convenient areas with good schools and affordable housing. (Remember affordability is relative to each area of the country.)

How Many Real Estate Sales Were in Your Seattle-Eastside Neighborhood in August,
Seattle-eastside real estate sales results were so similar during June, July, and August I could have posted the same report with just a few exceptions each month! Overall, 23% of the available homes sold in August, the same as June and July!

The only significant change happened in West Bellevue and East Bellevue and the Microsoft area around Redmond. Both these areas had fewer home sales in August than in July. It was most noticeable in the neighborhoods around Microsoft where sales have been consistently strong. In July, 38% of the homes sold and in August the sales numbers dropped back to 24%. The area still had the best return on the eastside, but it was more in line with other eastside neighborhoods.
There’s a good real estate market out there. The last time we saw a similar real estate market was back in the years between 1998-2002. The market during those years was what we considered to be a “normal” market, not a crazy market. Once again, we see a more “normal” market today.
