July 2018

JULY REAL ESTATE BLOG

July was a very busy month in our neighborhood with some interesting market developments. First of all for the first time in approximately 5 years we had 15 active listings in July! Across the city more properties have been coming on the market, however the market has slowed resulting in an increase in days on market and more price reductions than we have seen. In July, 9 of the 15 active listings in Laurelhurst have been on the market for greater than 17 days. This is a marked change from our spring market or, for that matter from the past few years.

Second, the number of multiple offers are decreasing and in fact many homes are not receiving offers on their review dates. What does this mean for sellers? If you are planning to list your home in the next few months I would suggest being a bit more conservative in your pricing. You need to say to yourself, if I list my home at this price and that is the offer I receive will I be satisfied?  Seller’s have become used to multiple offers driving their list price up, suddenly this is no longer the case, so I would suggest caution in pricing. The last thing a seller wants is double digit days on market. This sends a signal to potential buyers that the home is overpriced and that there is room to negotiate.

With that said the median sold price in Laurelhurst for July of 2018 was $1,720,000 compared to July of 2017 which was $1,537,500.

Have a great remainder of your summer!
