West Seattle Real Estate Roundup: September Edition
The numbers are in and it looks like the usual fall slowdown and larger housing rut have hit West Seattle, aka MLS area 140. The numbers are in, courtesy of the NWMLS, and for the month of September there were 119 closed SFH (Single Family Home) sales compared with 147 the same time last year.This reflects a YOY change of -19.1%. The good news is that at least the YOY median sales price did not drop, with half of all homes selling for more or less than $390,000 last month. This does reflect a drop for month to month sales prices from earlier this summer as HPB covered here.

Taking a vacation?
Just to be on topic, Real Estate in Seattle is holding up better than in the rest of the country even though the backyard condo industry seems to be overbuilding on spec here in West Seattle and in the CD. Imagine how many more houses and condos could be sold here if everyone in Florida who has an underwater mortgage could sell their albatross.
