Q1 2021 Gardner Report

First quarter housing numbers are in! As you might expect, Western Washington continues to be a strong seller’s market and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future. Low interest rates, limited inventory, and pandemic-driven relocations are the biggest factors. Notice how San Juan and Island Counties topped the list for increased sales volume in Q1. Overall, inventory is 40.7% lower and prices are 21.3% higher compared to one year ago. To illustrate how competitive things are, pending sales outpace listings by a ratio of 6:1. This means that demand for homes is incredibly strong and homes get sold fast. Today’s housing market is likely the tightest it has ever been.
