If you're buying
The buyer's read.
With about 7% of listings reducing their price in a single week, there is room to ask questions about price, especially on homes that have been listed a while (the average active listing has been on the market 74 days).
About 20% of homes on the market are under contract, which gives buyers more time to compare and negotiate.
The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 7.32% (down from 7.40% the week before), according to Freddie Mac.
If you're selling
The seller's read.
The median asking price ($599,000) sits about 42% above the median closed price this week ($422,000). Buyers are paying for what recent sales support, so pricing close to the closed sales near you matters more than the list prices around you.
The average home for sale has been listed 74 days. Homes that are priced well and show well from the first weekend tend to avoid a price cut later.
The read from here
What to watch.
New listings (14) outpaced new contracts (8) this week, adding to the choice buyers have. If that pattern holds for a few weeks, buyers usually gain leverage.
How these numbers are made
Figures are computed by Belvedere from Spokane REALTORS® MLS listing data for the area shown. Small areas and single weeks can swing with only a few sales. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Weekly figures cover closings, new listings and new contracts from Monday through Sunday; homes for sale and days listed are as of the report date. Written from the numbers by LJ Kennedy with Belvedere; every figure is calculated, not estimated.
