I don’t know if actual inventory is going up in the greater Seattle area, but I do know that I have noticed more “for sale” signs cropping up in my neighborhood lately. Just for kicks, I decided to take two of the recent listings and keep an eye on them. For variety, I have selected a single family house and a condo, roughly a block away from each other. Here is the basic information on each of them:
Kenmore House

Kenmore Condo

What I’ll do is keep my eye on these two properties to see if they sell, how much they sell for, and how long they take to sell. I’ll keep you updated in the coming weeks.
I recently moved out of a duplex when the landlord informed us the property was for sale. I was out within 20 days with the belief that the property would sell right away and the new owner would dramatically increase the rents. After 3 months the property is still for sale. It was taken off the market once and the ‘For Sale’ sign removed. I noticed it was back on the market about 1.5 months ago and reduced by $25K. Last week I check and the MLS # is no longer listed and the unit I lived in is still vacant.
