As predicted, prices are rising as a power surge of buyers has entered the market, compounding the backlog of holiday buyers. In Southeast King County, homes in the affordable, mid- and high-end price ranges (up to $750,000) are virtually sold out. Unsold inventory is down 55 percent compared to Jan. 2019, and the number of new listings is also down. These conditions, along with historically low interest rates and continued extreme job growth means the focus is on each new listing hitting the market.
