Good news for buyer! The amount of new listings is up 10.8%! Homes for sale in Seattle, WA in general are also up 30.8%. Pending sales and closed sales are both down around 7.8%. The month supply for Seattle real estate is actually up 44.4% at 1.30. This is big for buyers. The month supply determines the amount of inventory and who has control of the market.
