Redmond Real Estate Housing Statistics - 5/16/2007
By: Tony Meier - Redmond Realtor
Another strong week for Redmond Home Sales. We are still seeing inventory build which is customary as we move into the summer months. I have enhanced the spreadsheet this week with 2 digits after the decimal point. This will more accurately reflect the price ranges with few sales, like the upper end,
When looking at the spreadsheet keep this in mind...
The following is generally accepted as to the state of the market -
1. Less than 18 weeks of inventory = Seller's Market
2. About 18 to 22 weeks of inventory = Balanced Market
3. More than 22 weeks of inventory = Buyer's Market
So if you study the table below... You will see price ranges that have sellers in firm control and others that have the buyer in control. This information puts my clients in the drivers seat when it comes to correctly pricing their home sell or knowing what to offer for the dream home!
Below is a the statistics for last 7 weeks ending on 5/16/2007...

Armed with this information we can then dig deeper to see what is happening in a particular neighborhood, then make a highly educated decision. It is important to me that my clients know what to do but also the 'why" behind it!
