February brought 32 new listings to the market, building on the momentum of January, when we saw 27 new listings. This is a stronger start to the year than 2016, which had about two-thirds as many new listings in the same time frame.
Sales were consistent from January to February, with 17 homes sold in each month. Homes priced below $1.5 million are still moving the fastest off the market, though February saw two big westside waterfront sales at $3.7 million and $8.2 million.

Our year is off to a busy start. Since January 1st, we’ve had one closing, and we currently have two properties under contract on Mercer Island. We were thrilled to help our client (one of our readers!) purchase a darling single-story home, a unique off-market opportunity. We are also busy with a listing coming up later this month in Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood.
