PACIFIC NORTHWEST FIRST QUARTER MARKET REPORT - 2017

FIRST QUARTER NUMBERS

Seattle, Wash. (April 17, 2017) – Coldwell Banker Bain, a leading Pacific Northwest real estate brokerage, releases its first quarter market report providing a variety of statistics for the sale of homes in neighborhoods and counties throughout the Puget Sound, Southwest Washington and Oregon regions as well as for the luxury & condo segments. The first-quarter report reflects activity between Jan. 1, 2017 and March 31, 2017.* Observations by principal managing brokers working in each major market are also included.

Reflecting on the first-quarter numbers, Mike Grady, CB Bain President and COO, said, “It’s all about inventory.

We continue to see a downturn in inventory percentages – many areas in double digits – over this same time last year, which makes it imperative that buyers be ready when an opportunity arises.” He continued, “One of our Seattle brokers is reporting success with being patient and looking

for the great homes others have missed. He reports this approach is paying off for his clients, and has not yet had one client get into a bidding war where they paid more than the asking price for the home. This shows why it’s so important to have a broker working with both buyers and sellers – to help navigate facilitating the best offer on a home for sellers, and assisting buyers to avoid overpaying if possible.”

Grady added, “Affordability in King County also continues to be an issue. Our King County brokers are reporting that their buyer clients, seeking properties under $500,000, are looking outside the county. The new Kitsap County fast ferry that launches in July from Bremerton, Kingston and Port Orchard will open up a lot of affordable property and cuts the commute time to King County by half, so we expect to see increased activity in that area. Many are also looking in north Snohomish County.”

PACIFIC NORTHWEST FIRST QUARTER MARKET REPORT - 2017

EASTSIDE AREA Bellevue Bothell Duvall/Carnation Kirkland Issaquah/Sammamish Mercer Island Redmond Woodinville

EASTSIDE UPDATE “Despite low inventory and poor weather, Bellevue’s real estate market performed exceptionally well in the first quarter. Our average single-family home price of $1,251,100 was up an incredible 16.3% over first quarter last year, and Bellevue’s average sold price was 3.3% above the asking price. Clyde Hill and Medina also showed strong activity: Clyde Hill’s average home price was up 7.4% to $2,265,800, with an average market time of only 21 days. Medina saw unit sales increase 62.5% in the first quarter with an average sold price of $2,428,800, up 11% over first quarter last year. With better weather lately, we’ve seen buyer traffic and offers go through

the roof. It’s a good time to be a seller, but we’re encouraging our sellers to list their homes quickly. Why? Because in the past few years late May has seen a much higher supply of homes and a concurrent seasonal slowing in buyer traffic. Plus, with mortgage rates predicted to keep rising, sellers want to be on the market before buyers lose any more buying power. Either way, we expect the second quarter to end much like the first: with home sales and prices rising and market times falling.”

Thadine Bak, Principal Managing Broker of CB Bain Bellevue

SEATTLE AREA Ballard | Green Lake Capitol Hill Madison Park Magnolia NE Seattle Seattle Central South Lake Union | Queen Anne West Seattle

SEATTLE AREA UPDATE “Sales statistics for Seattle are literally off the charts for standing inventory as the volume of buyers exceeds the supply at record levels. When comparing net pending sales to standing inventory we have less than a months’ worth of listings in all Seattle neighborhoods. Buyers who are ready to make their bid at a moment’s notice are finding that it may take several tries to successfully win. Sellers are finding it is more important than ever to work with brokers skilled in the art of managing and negotiating multiple offers. Most sellers are selecting from

a multitude of offers on their properties. A few buyers have found themselves the only bidder on prime properties as the competition becomes fatigued and drops out of the market as the predetermined offer review date comes and goes. This anomaly may be due to sellers pushing the pricing envelope.”

SOUTH SOUND AREA

1st Quarter 2017 Single Family & Condo

Gig Harbor | Key Peninsula North Tacoma | Lakewood | University Place Puyallup | Graham SE King County SW King County Bainbridge Island Silverdale

SOUTH SOUND AREA UPDATE “Fortunately, Pierce County enjoys much lower pricing than our neighbors to the north. More buyers are coming south from Seattle. In fact, almost 12,000 people moved into Pierce County last year. That’s more than any other county. The absence of home inventory continues to be the news headline as sellers continue to resist putting their homes on the market as they take advantage of high appreciation rates. Only 1,437 homes are available in all of Pierce County – this is a record low for March. Buyers remain active with 1,806 offers accepted. It’s an extremely competitive market with multiple offers common.”

Stephanie Callen, Broker at CB Bain Puyallup

“While it is true that popular areas like North Tacoma, University Place and Lakewood have shortages of properties available, it pays to keep an eye on the big picture. In some areas, more new housing is being built this year than last year and prices are, generally, lower than in job-rich King County. For example, in Puyallup and Bonney Lake, at the end of the first quarter there were 475 homes available at median prices below $400K. In Gig Harbor, there has been a 30% increase in newly constructed homes brought to market year-to-date.

Nonetheless, multiple offers are now commonplace across Pierce County. Successful buyers almost always have their brokers engaged in scouting for opportunities.”

Mike Flynn, Broker at CB Bain Tacoma

WHATCOM COUNTY UPDATE “The first quarter of 2017 has demonstrated the continuation of a strong seller’s market. It seems the Seattle and Eastside trends are making their way to Bellingham and Whatcom County regarding multiple offers being commonplace – not only in Bellingham but also in the outlying communities. Since this trend continues in other markets, I expect it will here as well.

Although we have a strong local economy we do not have the same diverse employment opportunities as in King County and this is making it difficult for first-time buyers to find homes they can afford, particularly in Bellingham.”

PORTLAND OREGON REGION

Portland, Ore. (April 17, 2017) – Coldwell Banker Seal, a leading Northwest real estate brokerage, releases its first-quarter market report providing a variety of statistics for the sale of homes in neighborhoods and counties in SW Washington and Oregon, as well as for the luxury and condo segments. This first quarter report reflects activity between Janu. 1, 2017 and March 31, 2017.*

“As the prices and inventory reflect, we have had bidding wars with as many as 10 buyers bidding on the same property. We have had homes sell in less than one hour on the open market. At some point prices will rise more than people are willing to pay, but for now if the consumer is borrowing money it is time to step up… because when mortgage rates go up that same consumer will take a step back. For now, supply is tight, but interest rates are still low.”

Don Gladson, Regional Area Manager for CB Seal and Principal Managing Broker of Portland Uptown

“New listing inventory is still the big topic of discussion throughout the county… ‘where are all the new listings?’ is the cry from many brokers in Clark County. New listing inventory is down by more than 13.6% over 2016 according to the RMLS Market Action report. If a home is well-priced, clean and ready to sell, there are multiple offers on new listings even at a price of $500,000. New construction homes are being built at a breakneck pace, but will fall far short of the needed inventory to satisfy new buyers. Sellers are reluctant to place their current home on the market to sell for fear of not finding a new one to purchase.”
