State of the Market

Last year’s real estate market was primarily driven by low rates, low inventory and an abundance of buyers.  In 2014, home prices rose 6.1% in Seattle and 8.7% in Bellevue as sellers took advantage of multiple offers and quick sales. 

The buyers who were fortunate enough to purchase, did so at an average 30 year fixed mortgage rate of 3.87% per Freddie Mac, very close to the historic lows.

With 2014 in the rear view mirror, we’d like to share with you what we expect in 2015.
