Like Seattle’s single-family home market the data is telling one story, but the “vibe” on the street is telling another. 🏙️ Downtown Seattle Condos: A Bit of a Head-Scratcher The stats say […]

🏠8-9 Months of Supply vs. $4,000/sq ft: The Great Condo Divide

🏠 West Seattle home goes 36% over!
Some weeks, this newsletter practically writes itself. This is not one of those weeks! We’re in that weird, late April lull where the data isn’t doing what it’s “supposed” to do.
