Seattle's Top Neighborhoods
Seattle’s Top 10 Neighborhoods for Price Appreciation
“Between 2015 and 2016, Seattle grew more than it has in any single year in the past century, adding nearly 90,000 new residents in just 12 months…”
WHAT?!!! That’s insane. I knew Seattle was doing well (like, really well), but that’s crazy!!! Anyway, where are all those people going? Seattle Met put together a GREAT list (below) of their top 10. But more than just a list, they interviewed longtime residents of each neighborhood and wrote a great little piece for each of their top 10. Honestly, I was born and raised in Seattle so know quite a bit about each place, but I learned something new about every neighborhood in this article. Definitely worth the read if you’re interested in learning a little more about the neighborhoods that make up one of the fastest growing cities in the country: https://www.seattlemet.com/
Seattle Met Top 10 Neighborhoods:
1) Ballard – Home price increase since 2016: 12.5%
2) North Queen Anne – Home price increase since 2016: 5%
3) Beacon Hill – Home price increase since 2016: 12.5%
4) White Center – Home price increase since 2016: 14.1%
5) Central District – Home price increase since 2016: 11.7%
6) Roosevelt – Home price increase since 2016: 13%
7) South Lake Union – Home price increase since 2016: 6%

No Holiday Breather
Real Estate Brokers Expect No Holiday Breather
Pending sales of homes hit an all-time high for the month of November according to the latest statistics from Northwest Multiple Listing Service. The report covering 23 counties around Washington state also shows the number of new listings added during the month plunged to the lowest level in 11 months, prompting MLS leaders to predict a busy winter for residential real estate as buyers compete for the smallest inventory since March.
Figures for November show a 13.2% drop in inventory of single family homes and condominiums, a9.4% gain in pending sales, a 31.3% spike in closed sales, and an 11% increase in prices compared to the same month a year ago.
Pending sales (mutually accepted offers) totaled 8,217, and eclipsed the number of new listings (5,779) by 2,438 units. That imbalance depleted total inventory, dropping the number of active listings to 13,303, down 13.2% from a year ago.
The median price on last month’s closed sales of single family homes and condominiums area-wide was $342,000, up 11% from the year-ago figure of $308,000. August was the only other month this year with year-over-year double-digit appreciation for prices area-wide.
Prices for single family homes (excluding condos) rose 10.9 % from a year ago to $350,500. King County reported the highest median price for single family homes at $550,000 (up 10 % year-over-year).
