HI Alex - Seattle still has an extremely strong market and I think with the rates as low as they are it is an excellent time to at least check out the increased level of inventory. I have seen a huge increase in buyers recently who seem to realize that they are in a buyer's market for the first time in what seems like forever and that they should try and take advantage of it.
As a real estate salesman I will tell any potential buyer that the time to buy is NOW... not in six months or a year! BUT... you can wait and see what happens naturally. It is because yes, I do want to make a sale, but ....why lie? It is a good time to buy! No joke about that. - Ask me if its a good time to sell, I dare you. ;-)
As a buyer your negotiation power is greater than it has been for years. If you have a need to buy in Seattle, then now is a great time to take advantage of the current market.
