Average sales price for residential homes in all of King County rose 13% from January 2019 to June ($610,000 to $699,725). This may sound like a hyper-market, but prices in January 2018 were only $621,500, so prices fell in 2018 and rose again.
In addition, there is more inventory available, so buyers have more choices. Take a look at the difference between the light green bar (homes for sale) vs. the dark green bar (sold homes). Up until last June 2018, those bars were almost equal each month, meaning everything that came on the market sold. Now there are a few more homes for sale than are sold each month.
