It’s Friday, let’s sweep! | Seattle SFH vs Condos – what have you noticed?

numbers

Welcome to Friday, let’s sweep! Today, we’ll pick apart “the science” around our dueling markets within Seattle = Single Family Homes vs Condominiums. “Dueling” may not be the perfect vernacular, however making a point that they are currently different and should be evaluated independently when people ask you “how is the market?”

Hoping these digestible bites help in educating your clients! And oh, when people do ask you “how is the market?” – here is solid socratic response…”good question, which market are you asking about?” Powerful! This response shows you are listening and allows you to give a better response – it’s all about them!

Ps, Thank you manager, Rob Graham for providing these #’s below!
