A VIEW FROM THE EASTSIDE 2016 Real Estate Market Recap
After impressive results in 2016, the residential real estate market on the Eastside begins the new year with great fanfare. Last year’s numbers reflected a single trend: growth. From Bellevue to Woodinville, home prices rose beyond most experts’ predictions. The main motivators for the Eastside’s double-digit price appreciation were heavy buyer demand and low housing supply. The former reflected the many appeals of Eastside living while the latter resulted from a bottleneck in the market, as prospective sellers were constrained by the dilemma of where to move given the lack of homes to buy. This imbalance led to higher prices for single family homes (up 12%), shorter market times (down 24%), and Sold prices that routinely exceeded List prices. Market activity in 2016 followed a serpentine path. The first two quarters bustled with packed open houses and bidding wars, while the third quarter slowed due to pre-election jitters. The fourth quarter kicked back into high gear; buyers hoping for less competition were out in force, but they found the lowest supply of the year. Bidding wars during the holidays brought a fitting end to a busy 2016.
The year ahead: Sustained success for Eastside real estate Our projections show Eastside home price appreciation approaching double digits again in 2017. Last year’s squeeze on housing inventory will continue this year for two main reasons: more people moving to our region and less home building than the market demands. Even if rising mortgage rates sideline some buyers, market activity will remain strong. Home shoppers from around our region and the world will once again be drawn to the Eastside’s awardwinning schools, top-tier amenities and ever-expanding employment opportunities. The core cities of Bellevue, Kirkland, Mercer Island and Redmond will continue to be hubs of work, shopping and transit. As we begin the new year, light rail has broken ground, cranes punctuate growing skylines, and tech companies offer new work spaces and employee shuttle services throughout the Eastside. Cities just outside the core – like Bothell, Duvall, Issaquah and Renton – will maintain their impressive growth. With interest rates rising and the Eastside’s economy thriving, 2017 will be a great time to stake a claim in the Northwest’s most prized real estate market.
