 The MAY 2023 stats are OUT for Spokane real estate! This month and next are the most telling for how and when the market took its turn when rates increased. May 2023 median home prices are down 8.4% from May 2022. They declined more than that, but have been making a recovery. If you are waiting to buy, one thing to consider is that when/if rates go "down" the floodgates of buyers on the sidelines will create more bidding wars, and higher prices, and $ over list price, so buying now could be wise! (You can refinance IF rates come down)AND This IS the best time to SELL your house in the Spokane area, for real. Best time of year, super low inventory!  #bethanninspokane #spokanerealestatemarket #spokaneremaxagent  06/07/2023

If you have any questions about the Spokane real estate market, I am always happy to chat. We are still experiencing colder than normal weather, so my educated guess is that things will begin to "heat up" in the real estate market when the Spring weather lands!  #bethanninspokane #housingmarketupdates #spokanewashington #spokanerealtor #spokaneremaxagent #homeprices 04/07/2023

The statistics are out for the Spokane Association of Realtors for Feb. 2023, reflecting year over year. Feb 2023 vs. Feb 2022.Prices are down considerably from the peak of the market last May 2022  when the median home price was 450K, now it is 375K. The increase in interest rates, coupled with this marked drop in prices makes a more even playing field for sellers and buyers, and the results are less total number of transactions, while consumers are navigating these changes. Spokane has seen this drastic decline in prices because our home prices escalated so much in the 3 years prior, due to large numbers of people relocating here, and Covid conditions (virtual buyers). There is still a marked lack of inventory, and people often still have the need or desire to buy and sell, regardless... 03/07/2023
