Home sellers in Bellevue are getting the message that local real estate inventory is low.  Buyers in Bellevue just keep upping the stakes to a higher level. Bellevue Months of Real Estate Inventory Vs. New Listings New listings in Bellevue jumped to 214 during May.  That's the highest number of new real estate listings in four years.  While it provided a significant boost to the pool of choices for home buyers in Bellevue, it wasn't nearly enough to satiate their appetites. The boost in real estate listings for May was an 18.8 percent gain over April.  That would have been enough in any of the past 5 or 6 years to increase the total inventory available to buyers. New sales, however, ate up those listings so quickly that the inventory in Bellevue remained flat.  There continues to be jus...

During fast-paced changes in a real estate market, we get to see statistics that look a bit strange sometimes.  The speed with which Bellevue homes are being sold this year has created some numbers that we haven't seen in a long time. Homes are selling at a breakneck pace in Bellevue, and in the greater Seattle market.  Nearly half of all homes are sold within two weeks on the market.  While there are still plenty of new listings coming active each month, the number of recent sales, and their speed, nearly swallowed up the entire active inventory in recent months: Bellevue Real Estate: Active Listings For Sale vs. Homes Sold, By Month The graph above shows an interesting point at the beginning of 2013, which has only changed slightly throughout the year so far.  Home buyers had scooped ...

Recent studies by Corelogic and Capital Economics point out some surprising trends in housing.  While the old adage of renters “throwing money away” has been tossed around quite a bit lately, the statistics in today’s housing market are starting to support just that statement. Most strikingly, Capital Economics measured median monthly mortgage payments versus median monthly rental payments across the country.  For the first time in 30 years, the median mortgage payment was actually the same or slightly less than the rent payment. Additionally, Corelogic’s U.S. Housing and Mortgage Trends has shown that renters are now spending a larger percentage of their household budget on housing payments than homeowners.  Homeowners’ payments have increased just over 1 percent since 2005, bringing t...

Clyde Hill is the largest community in West Bellevue, on a prominent but gradual hill overlooking Lake Washington and the Seattle skyline to the west and downtown Bellevue and the Cascade mountain range to the east.  People like living on Clyde Hill because is is minutes on surface streets to downtown Bellevue, or to the on-ramp to Seattle via the SR 520 on-ramp to Seattle.  Many of the home here have been upgraded to include modern finishes and the character of the neighborhood is very upscale.  Clyde Hill is one of the most prestigious addresses in West Bellevue, as reflected by the median home price which is holding steady the last two years at $1,210,000.  Recent home sales range from the low 400,000's for a distressed property to $2,400,000 for a stately view residence on a quiet s...

Short Sale Vs Foreclosure – What are your options? In today’s economy, many homeowners are struggling to make their mortgage payments each month. Many are on the brink of foreclosure and are considering walking away from their homes, especially if they now owe more than the property is worth. Another option for struggling homeowners is the short sale, a method of selling the home for less than what is owed on it. Banks may agree to this if they decide taking a loss on the home sale is a better option than trying to press current homeowners, who may end up in foreclosure anyway. If a homeowner meets certain requirements, they may be eligible for a short sale.  Full Story Click Here
