It’s “multiple-offer everything” in Southeast King County, with unsold inventory down 41 percent in Feb. 2020, compared to Feb. 2019. Inventory is at an extreme shortage up to $750,000 (93 percent of sales activity takes place in this range), and sales activity intensity is at extreme frenzy. Historically low interest rates should help the housing market sustain strong momentum during the coronavirus outbreak. Many buyers will look to take advantage of low rates; current homeowners who are not selling may consider refinancing to a lower rate.
