Fun with Redfin

edited April 2007 in Seattle Real Estate
Go to Redfin and zoom in on an area. Click the search options and select Show Past Sales for Last 1 year.

Now you will see the current inventory and demand over the past year. Divide one by the other, multiply by 12, and you get an estimate of the number of months it will take to sell the current supply. I found it very entertaining to scroll around the map and watching how the inventory number changes.

I collected data around the Seattle area. The most demanded areas are N. Kirkland (near Juanita beach), Bellevue, and Ballard. The least demanded areas are Mill Creek NW of Lynnwood with an estimated two years of inventory, Liberty Park south of Seattle, and Pioneer Square.
