After peaking in the summer of 2018, housing prices in Seattle were on a steady decline from mid-2018 to mid-2019. But since then, prices have been on the rise, and have risen quite a bit.
Over the past 12 months, home prices in Seattle have increased 3.1% and now sit at $848,982. According to experts, home prices will rise at a steady pace throughout 2025.
The supply situation in Seattle has been rather tight over the past few years along with the high level of demand in the area, which is what has largely contributed to the rapid price gains in the area.
Right now, there is just a 0.41-month supply of inventory available in Seattle, and just a 0.38-month supply in all of King County. That is extremely limited inventory and is driving home prices up as demand far outweighs supply.
In addition to the rise in inventory in Seattle, homes are taking less time to sell. As of January 2025, the median number of days on the market for homes in Seattle was 13, according to Redfin. The housing market in Seattle is hot, especially as the tech sector continues to increasingly bolster the market and increase demand.
Based on the above-mentioned trends, now may seem like a great time to buy in Seattle before prices really start to take off. And mortgage rates are expected to decline despite being rather high right now, making a mortgage much more affordable down the line.
