Seattle, WA

Property For sale & Area Information.

Welcome to Seattle

Seattle’s real estate market remains highly competitive, fueled by its robust tech economy, cultural appeal, and limited housing inventory. Despite higher mortgage rates, demand continues to outstrip supply, particularly in sought-after neighborhoods, keeping upward pressure on prices and sustaining a strong seller’s advantage.

Median Home Prices

  • Single-Family Homes: Median price at $950,000, up 6% year-over-year (YoY).

  • Condominiums: Median price at $650,000, a 4% increase YoY.

  • Luxury Market (homes >$2M): Steady interest, though Days on Market (DOM) average 50–70 days, slightly longer than mid-range homes.

Inventory & Absorption

  • Supply: Extremely tight at 1.2 months of inventory (below the 6-month balanced benchmark).

  • Days on Market (DOM):

    • Single-family homes: 12–18 days (many receive multiple offers).

    • Condos: 25–35 days.

  • Price Reductions: Only 12% of listings see cuts, mostly in luxury or less desirable areas.

Market Dynamics

  • Seller’s Market: 35% of homes sell above asking, with bidding wars common in prime neighborhoods.

  • New Construction: Focus on urban infill (e.g., South Lake Union, Ballard) and mid-rise condos catering to professionals.

  • Tech Influence: Amazon, Microsoft, and Google expansions drive relocations, particularly in North Seattle and the Eastside corridor.

Interest Rates & Affordability

  • Mortgage rates average 6.5–7% (30-year fixed).

  • Affordability strain: A 950Khome∗∗requires∗∗ 6,800/month (mortgage + taxes), pushing first-time buyers toward condos or suburbs.

Key Market Drivers

  • Job Growth: Tech, biotech, and aerospace sectors continue hiring.

  • Neighborhood Appeal: Walkable areas (Capitol Hill, Queen Anne) and waterfront properties (Magnolia, West Seattle) command premiums.

  • Urban Development: Light rail expansion (Lynnwood, Federal Way links) increases accessibility.

Future Outlook (2024–2025)

  • Prices: Projected 4–6% annual growth, depending on rate trends.

  • Inventory: Moderate improvement with new condo deliveries (~1,000 units in 2024).

  • Luxury Segment: Stable but selective; high-end buyers favor view properties (e.g., Laurelhurst, Madison Park).

Conclusion

Seattle’s market remains resilient, supported by economic strength and enduring desirability. While high costs and rates challenge affordability, demand persists in prime locations. Buyers must act quickly with competitive offers, while sellers benefit from low inventory and high demand. Neighborhoods like Green Lake, Ballard, and Fremont remain hotspots for both families and investors.

Tidelight // Understated in stature. Exceptional in scale. Inseparable from its setting. Perched on a rare promontory above Puget Sound, Tidelight occupies an extraordinary position along the Seattle shoreline, with sweeping views of water and mountains transformed by changing light from first dawn through the lingering glow of evening. Nearly seven-tenths of an acre, 150' of saltwater frontage and private moorage place it among Seattle’s most substantial waterfront offerings—yet it is defined as much by restraint as scale. Designed by architect Tom Lawrence and built by Schultz Miller, the residence settles quietly into the landscape. Warm materials, expansive glass and beautifully proportioned spaces draw the Pacific Northwest into daily life, while terraces, gardens and coastal grasses soften the transition from house to shore. The result is a private coastal retreat remarkably close to the heart of Seattle. Inside, generous living and entertaining spaces unfold toward the water. A beautifully appointed kitchen anchors the home, while the serene primary suite offers a retreat unto itself. An indoor swimming pool, fitness room, wine room, library, dedicated office and separate guest accommodations provide exceptional utility without compromising the home’s quiet character. Substantial yet never ostentatious, Tidelight is ultimately a home conceived around ease of living and a genuine joie de vivre—a rare convergence of architecture, landscape, water and light. $8,995,000 Active
