Year in Review: The Seattle Real Estate Market in 2023
Rising interest rates were a driver of a slowing real estate market in Seattle for 2023. As expected, the median sales price of $870K and average price per square foot of $536 were both down just under 6 percent compared to 2022. As we look ahead to 2024, we expect to see a similar market ahead, but with increasing spikes of opportunity and optimism.
Key drivers in Seattle will be the healthy harbinger of big tech, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence, a stabilizing stock market, and a gradual decline of mortgage rates, likely averaging in the mid-6 percent range.
