The Northwest Multiple Listing Service is a member owned full service MLS serving 19 counties in the Pacific Northwest, covering the Seattle area, Puget Sound, and most of the North West. Some highlights of their recent report on September, 2009.
- Pending Sales up for September 26.7% over over last year .
- Inventory down 7.6% over last year.
- Prices down 7.5% across the 19 counties ¯
Most agents reported brisk activity, busy open houses, and highest demand in 2 years.
I like seeing that pending sales are up and by a healthy margin, too. I hope that is a harbinger of things to come across the country!
Leslie, boy so do I. I hear some very conflicting news about the future of real estate and our entire economy. Just sitting here working hard and holding my breath. Thanks for reading my post.
