When compared to May, 2009, only one area of Seattle’s eastside showed an increase in median prices. West Bellevue had the highest with a 17% increase in sales prices. Last month the area had the most significant decrease in pricing. The return of some strength to the high end market is a good sign. The high end was the least affected by the tax credit.
Most other Seattle-eastside neighborhoods experienced a reduction in sales prices.
Home sales also took a dip in most areas of the eastside. Two areas, Kirkland and the plateau area of Sammamish, had increased home sales, but only in the single digits.
Seventeen percent less homes are for sale on the eastside this year than last year.
Has your area seen a drop in home sales since the expiration of the tax credit?
