Hawkins-Poe Monthly Newsletter July 2023
Posted by Hawkins-Poe on July 18, 2023
It’s another dynamic summer real estate market, where supply and demand are stealing the spotlight! This season, the inventory has taken a plunge, leaving buyers on the hunt for their dream homes. The limited inventory available has created a sense of urgency among prospective buyers and an increase in prices month over month.
Many counties have seen a steady increase in the average sales price since January of 2023 and some are now surpassing the average sales price of this same time last year. Over 17 counties in Washington state reported a list price to sales price ratio of 99% or higher for residential sales. As demand outpaces supply, be sure to equip yourself with market knowledge, negotiation skills and a great local broker!
