This week we will be looking at the Residential market absorption rates for the Eastside over the last 7 weeks. When looking at these numbers, keep in this in mind:
1. These are an average of the all price ranges in the area. Some price ranges are definitely moving faster than others! If you would like to know how things break down in a specific price range for an area, send me an email at tony@eastsidehomes.com
2. These numbers are a result of the sales activity over the last 7 weeks when comparing the number of active listing vs. the number of pending sales to determine what the market absorption rate is for a particular area.
3. When measuring the heat of the market, the following rules apply:
a. 12 weeks or less = Seller’s Market
b. 12-24 weeks = Balanced Market
c. 24 or more weeks = Buyer’s Market
All areas showed some improvement as compared to 4 weeks ago, except area 560 which slipped a little further into a buyer’s market. Area 560 showed an increase in listings and a decrease in average sales per week.
Residential Only, NWMLS Area 500 (Bellevue, South of I-90) = 42.3 weeks of inventory (was 42.6 four weeks ago)
Residential Only, NWMLS Area 510 (Mercer Island) = 76.9 weeks of inventory (was 97.5 four weeks ago)
Residential Only, NWMLS Area 520 (Bellevue, West of 405) = 49.8 weeks of inventory (was 68.8 four weeks ago)
Residential Only, NWMLS Area 530 (Bellevue, East of 405) = 32.1 weeks of inventory (was 32.9 four weeks ago)
Residential Only, NWMLS Area 540 (East of Lake Sammamish) = 39.9 weeks of inventory (was 42.3 four weeks ago)
