PUGET SOUND 2021 Q3 MARKET REPORT

Helping people buy and sell homes in the Pacific Northwest since 1972, Coldwell Banker Bain is an undisputed market leader, posting nearly $6 billion in sales in 2020. With 34 offices and more than 1,300 brokers in Washington and Oregon, plus a global reach that extends to 92,000 brokers in 43 countries, we’re not only one of the largest Coldwell Banker affiliates in the world, we’re also the most accomplished real estate company in the Northwest.

Our commitment to knowledge, expertise and market insights consistently undergirds our reputation for excellence and service. An emphasis on global access in the luxury realm, combined with the power, reach and recognition of the Coldwell Banker brand, allows us to outsell and outperform our rivals, as we elevate the standard for marketing premier properties in the Puget Sound area and the Pacific Northwest.

As important to us as business success— we also provide services in property management, commercial real estate, real estate investment and relocation management— is the understanding that real estate is more than just a transaction; it’s a key part of building safe, happy and prosperous lives for our clients, our brokers and their families.

JOHN DEELY executive VP of Operations Reflecting on the third-quarter numbers, John Deely, Coldwell Banker Bain Executive Vice President of Operations, said, “The third quarter was really amazing related to price appreciations, very limited inventory and time on market, but as outlined by our Coldwell Banker Bain brokers below, we are seeing a bit of change - and not just in the weather.

Reports of buyer fatigue, resulting from multiple offer situations that further drove up prices, seem to have impacted activity a bit, which finally provides a positive bit of news for them. With legislation in the queue on the national front that could cause an increase to capital gains rates, many sellers who have been on the fence about selling are now concerned they could lose profit in their homes to taxes if they wait until next year. Coupled with the annual trend of the market slowing as we move into the holiday season, we believe this is a great opportunity for those buyers to return to the market.

Prices are now leveling out a bit, and homeowners who are selling in the last quarter of the year always tend to be highly motivated. Buyers will also find less competition this time of year, due to inclement weather and holiday travel.”

Q3 2021 MARKET REPORT

LANA THOMPSON Principal Managing Broker of ANACORTES Lana Thompson, Principal Managing Broker of Coldwell Banker Bain of Anacortes, said, “A good indicator of our lack of inventory in Anacortes, (down 33%) is reflected in the number of homes sold in the third quarter of this year vs. last year—99 vs. 135, a decline of nearly 27%.

This shortage, buyer demand, and a lightning-fast market are further demonstrated in the DOM, which is down by 40.5% to just 22 days. Although we are still singing the sad lack of inventory song, the good news is our median sales price has held steady at $620,000.

Skagit County as a whole has seen a rise in the median sold price of just over 15.5% to $503,000. Interestingly, the inventory numbers have held steady even though DOM is down by just over 55%. Waterfront properties are still in high demand, but inventory has inched up 16.7%. The median sold price is $700,000.

Statistics aside, sellers are still enjoying this fast-paced market as there is still a long list of buyers searching for a home. Prices appear to be leveling, and we are starting to see a few price reductions, which is good news for market-weary buyers.
