Team Skally | Market Update

Every year we experience seasonal cycles that influence the Real Estate Market. This is evidenced by the number of homes that sell above their list price. For example, this October 35% of homes sold above their list price while in April it was 60%!

Despite the seasonal slowdown, it remains a seller’s market. This is largely due to low inventory levels, there is currently just 1 month of supply in South Bellevue/Newcastle. As a result, the median sold price in October was $1.65M, up 21% over last year!

Can you imagine what’ll happen when interest rates decline? Speaking of that, both the Mortgage Banker’s Association and Fannie Mae just forecasted rates to be under 6% in 2025. Stay tuned for our 2025 predictions coming soon...

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving,
