Listings are still down in King, Kitsap, Island, and Skagit, but up in Snohomish, Pierce, Thurston, and Whatcom. Snohomish County saw a whopping 22.6% jump in listings from a year ago.
Sales are still up in every county compared to a year ago. The largest gain was once again in Island County, which saw a whopping 69.0% jump from last September. The smallest gain was in Snohomish, where sales were up 13.9%.
Finally, here’s a chart showing months of supply this September and last September. Months of supply is down in most counties, but Snohomish and Pierce both saw increases thanks to the improving inventory situation in those counties.
Right now Snohomish County seems to be leading the way in the move back toward a buyer’s market, while King County is lagging the most.
