Anyway, what I found interesting about this is that while last year was pretty steady the first months of the year at around 23% or so, this year has slowly climbed from around 15% to around 25%, although interestingly we seem to be seeing a post-spring dropoff similar to last year(though not as large).<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the chart looks like for King, Snohomish, and Pierce so far this year:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px auto; width: 600px; font-size: 0.8em; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Fast-Selling_King-Sno-Pierce-SFH-2011-06.png\" title=\"Percent of Homes Off-Market in 2 Weeks or Less\" rel=\"lightbox[16139]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Fast-Selling_King-Sno-Pierce-SFH-2011-06-600x443.png\" style=\"border: 0;\" title=\"Percent of Homes Off-Market in 2 Weeks or Less - Click to enlarge\" alt=\"Percent of Homes Off-Market in 2 Weeks or Less\" width=\"600\" height=\"443\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nothing too surprising there, except maybe the fact that Snohomish County has actually pulled ahead of King County for the last few weeks.  It will be interesting to see if that trend keeps up.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, going back to just King County, here&#8217;s a chart broken down by the distressed status of the listing:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 5px auto; width: 600px; font-size: 0.8em; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Fast-Selling_King-SFH-Distress-2011-06.png\" title=\"Percent of Homes Off-Market in 2 Weeks or Less\" rel=\"lightbox[16139]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/Fast-Selling_King-SFH-Distress-2011-06-600x443.png\" style=\"border: 0;\" title=\"Percent of Homes Off-Market in 2 Weeks or Less - Click to enlarge\" alt=\"Percent of Homes Off-Market in 2 Weeks or Less\" width=\"600\" height=\"443\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bank owned and non-distressed homes are moving at roughly the same pace as each other, while short sales are considerably slower to sell.  Not too surprising about the short sales, but I did expect bank owned to have a slight advantage over non-distressed, so I&#8217;m a bit surprised to see them neck and neck at around 25%.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, keep in mind that a good number of these homes that go pending will <a href=\"http:\/\/seattlebubble.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/13\/yet-another-reminder-that-pending-sales-are-near-useless\/\" title=\"Another Reminder that \u201cPending Sales\u201d are Near-Useless\">end up back on the market<\/a> or in some perpetual state of pending limbo.  Nonetheless, I thought this was an interesting visual that demonstrates the frustrations of many current home shoppers.  I keep hearing that most of the inventory out there stinks, and whenever something decent hits the market, it seems to move pretty quickly.  This data would at least seem to support the &#8220;moving quickly&#8221; part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I ran some numbers last week that I thought might be interesting to share here.
