Hey everybody, welcome to week 45 of our Monday market update. And yesterday was a holiday, so we are getting this out one day late but the stats are all for the week ending on Sunday, the 17th.
Interest rates as as they have been for several months now remain amazing. So conforming 30 year, 2.875% which is just up just just a tad.
VA 30 year, amazing, amazing, amazing rates at 2.5% for 30 years. I mean just crazy, crazy low money.
And then Jumbo is still doing great at 2.875%.
And System Wide, I was kind of curious like how things were looking last year compared to this year and System Wide right now, we’re kind of about the same amount of new listings coming on the market. Homes going under contract are up just a tad, I think right around 3%. And then looking at the average sold price for the last 11 weeks, comparing the last 11 weeks with the same period last year. Home prices are up about 14% which I think none of us would be surprised to learn that. And it was kind of interesting between those 11 weeks, Steve the appreciation ranged anywhere from 9% to all the way up to 21%.
So I don’t know, it kind crazy but what has happened in the last week in Northwest Seattle?
So last week there were 124 homes available. 48 were new on the market and 81% of those were vacant. And 54% of those homes had a review day. There were 33 homes that went pending sale with an average market time of 10 days. There were nine homes that went pending inspection with an average market time of 27 days. And there were 32 homes that closed slash sold with an average market time of 20 days. And it looks like the average price per square foot jumped up a bit. It’s by $524 a square foot. So good news for the sellers.
Right. It was nice to see that buyers are definitely back in the market. There was quite a few more homes that went under contract this past week than there were the previous week. So yeah, it’ll be interesting to see what 2020 brings and we will be here week by week letting you know what’s happening.
And it’ll be interesting to see what 2021 brings too.
Did I say 2020?
It’s okay. We’re in confusing times, Sandra.
Okay. Everybody have a great rest of the week and we’ll be in touch next week.
