Moving a little further north, it appears that Pierce county is noticing the slowdown as well<\/a>, though not to quite the same degree as Thurston. <\/p>\n

More homes are hitting the market and staying there, as housing prices continue to climb, according to new numbers released today by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service.
…
The biggest change was in the number of homes on the market. While inventory shrunk 5 percent in King County, the total number of homes in Pierce County increased by 23 percent when compared with the same number in March of 2005.<\/p>\n

The inventory in Thurston County jumped by 77 percent, according to the report.<\/p>\n

"People are taking a bit longer to decide, and even with the increase in inventory, there hasn’t been a reduction on selling prices," said NWMLS director Dick Beeson, broker at Windermere Real Estate\/Paragon in Tacoma. Beeson called the traffic at local houses "pretty decent."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Looking at the NWMLS numbers<\/a> (pdf)<\/i>, what I find interesting is that the total number of listings is up 6.79%, while pending sales are down<\/i> 8.94%. I’m no economist, but I would think that type of situation would put downward pressure on prices. 2006 should indeed be an interesting year.<\/p>\n
