I like to pull my own real estate statistics directly from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, because I think they’re a great way to visualize what’s happening with the market and see historical trends over time. Click on the links below, which I update once a month, to open the following charts in a new tab; or click here (or the “Official NWMLS real estate stats” tab in the navigation bar) to see similar charts of the official NWMLS data going back to the year 2000:
Median home price for Seattle proper (going back to January of 2012, broken down by houses, townhomes, and condos separately). This is a great overview of what the market has done going all the way back to the end of the Great Recession.
Median sold price vs. median list price in Seattle proper for houses, townhomes, and condos (going back to January of 2012). This is a great way to see at a glance how hot the market has been at different points in time for different home types.
Average prices by month in Seattle proper (between 2015-2022, broken down by houses, townhomes, and condos separately). This is a great way to see at a glance what the seasonal trends are for different home types.
Number of new listings by month in Seattle proper (going back to January of 2012, broken down by houses, townhomes, and condos separately). This is a great view of historical seller activity over time.
Number of pending transactions in Seattle proper (i.e., homes that have gone under contract; going back to January of 2012, broken down by houses, townhomes, and condos separately). This one is a great way to visualize buyer activity over time.
