Local home value data · Seattle, WA
What's my home worth in Seattle, WA?
Seattle presents an unusual mix right now: prices have slipped from a year ago, yet homes are still selling in about two weeks, a sign that demand remains strong even as the pace of price growth has reversed.
Is Seattle a buyer's or seller's market?
Leaning seller's. Redfin rates Seattle 79/100 (very competitive), based on how quickly homes sell, how often they get multiple offers, and how close they sell to list price.
What this means if you're selling in Seattle
A median sale price of $874,000, down 2.8% year-over-year, shows modest price softening. But homes in Seattle average just 15 days on market, up only slightly from 13 last year, with around two offers each and a Compete Score of 79. Buyers still need to act quickly on good listings, while sellers should not assume last year's pricing will hold.
