King County Home Trends. Active vs Pending, presented by John Fiala
Have you heard that there is less inventory in the housing market right now? A good way to look at your competition as a Seller and as a Buyer is to watch the Active Listings and Pending Home Sales (homes under contract). Look at the space between the green line and the yellow line below on the chart for King County Residential homes. Notice the difference in lengths of the green lines and yellow lines over a two year period. This year, there is much more competition for Buyers trying to purchase a home because the ratio between Active Listings and Pending Home Sales is much higher from two years ago. Sellers have the advantage based on the lack of inventory and the high demand of people looking to purchase a home. Do you wonder what your specific area looks like? Just let me know how I can help.

Why Do Your Property Taxes in King County Increase When Your Home Value Has Decreased?
Here is a good video about King County, Washington that describes why your property taxes may increase, but the value of your home was assessed for less than last year. King County is a Revenue-based property tax system.
“Washington State operates under a “revenue-based” property tax system in which taxing districts, such as fire, library and school districts, submit their annual adopted budgets to the County Assessor who has the responsibility to set the levy rate that is necessary to meet the adopted budgets regardless of assessed values. We are one of the states that operates under the “revenue-based” system.
King County has 700,000 + properties, 163 taxing districts, and 594 tax levy codes. A property located in one tax code has a number of separate taxing districts (fire, library, schools, etc). As property values decrease, there is a natural assumption that property taxes will also decrease – that might not be the case for thousands of King County property owners.”
