King County Market Report
April 2020
April 2020
If you’re thinking about selling your home, it's important to have a good understanding of what’s going on in the King County market.
We are seeing buyer demand coming forward. Yet given the historically low-interest rates, the local market needs additional listings to meet pent-up demand from the backlog of buyers. Due to the COVID-19 situation, there were fewer new listings in April versus April 2019, which leads to fewer homes going under contract as well. However, the sales activity intensity of homes selling within the first 30 days is aligned with last year’s high level for homes priced up to $1.5 million. You still need to be Buyer Ready to get a home in today’s market!

If you’re in the position to sell right now, it’s a great time to sell and a great time to buy due to historically low-interest rates. At John L. Scott, we’ve adjusted our approach with buyers and sellers to take full advantage of the technology to bring forward serious buyers while following social distancing guidelines with in-person tours. Our broker associates can also discuss viewing strategies to shorten the window of in-person tours, yet still, secure the interest of qualified buyers for your home.
