a new record: 100 listings for East Bellevue (98008)

[sniglet]

Today (August 15th) we finally hit the magic 100 number for listing in east Bellevue (98008) on ZipRealty. We are actually now above where we were in October 2006, where we previously peaked at 95 listings (before listings fell down into the '30s by spring).

Maybe Bellevue isn't QUITE so special after all... That said, we are nearing the end of the peak selling season, and we do tend to see listings start to pile up into the fall. When we hit 200 we will know something really strange is afoot.

I've noticed an ever increasing number of for sale signs around my neighborhood. Just yesterday though, I suddenly realized that not only were there a lot more signs than last year, but that I've never seen so many for sale signs in my entire life. Even though months of supply is still not high yet, this just doesn't seem like it's a normal market.

It looks like the fall decline in listings is beginning. Today we hit 125 listings on ZipRealty for 98008. The peak number of listings for the year will likely stand around 135 since I don't foresee the number of listings rising between now and January. Still, with over 100 listings we are still far above the 2006 peak volumes.

We just hit 120 listings on ZipRealty for 98008 today. It looks like there won't be any significant listing drop for the winter after all. In early January 98008 listings had dipped as low as 103, but largely kept in a close band around 110. This is a far cry from last winter (2006/2007) when listings actually dropped into the 60s.
