Bellevue Washington Has A Strong Week in Pending Sales, Presented by John Fiala

This chart looks at the active listings and pending sales for the date from 10/15/12 to 10/21/12. The pending sales (under contract) are for the previous seven days.  This shows where the market is hot and who can have an advantage in the market by location and price point, essentially where the fish are biting in real estate.

If you have “Bellevue” in your address, your area had the highest percentage of homes go under contract for the week at 17%. Normally that title goes to North Seattle. Notice in Bellevue the price range from $250,000 to $349,999. There were five homes in each price range at the start of the week and by the end of the week, four of them were under contract with only one still Active. If you are a seller in that price range, the fish are biting. Buyers, you have competition in that price range in Bellevue.

Emerald Heights Academy

I had the chance to speak at a leadership breakfast yesterday for the Emerald Heights Academy. I was able to share stories of my past career in athletics about life lessons, leadership and faith. During the breakfast, there were two middle school kids that gave speeches about leadership. I was blown away by how poised and carefully crafted their speeches were. You are doing a great job Emerald Heights Academy!

Active Listing vs. Pending Sales for 3-11-12 Video

This video looks at the active listings and pending sales for the date of 3-11-12. The pending sales (under contract) are for the previous seven days.  This shows where the market is hot and who can have an advantage in the market by location and price point, essentially where the fish are biting in real estate.

Bellevue had three Sellers markets this week which you can see in the red areas and Central Seattle had an active week for homes going under contract in the higher price ranges. Overall, the five areas that I track on this report, North Seattle had the highest ratios of homes going under contract last week.
