In today’s real estate market finding “the one” is more like speed dating than developing a relationship with a house over several days or weeks. As you have probably heard, the market is red hot.
According to the MLS, as of end of January 2020:
In Thurston County (think Olympia, Yelm, Lacey, Tumwater, etc.):
- The average sales price of a home in January was $391,859, an increase of 14.2% over January 2019.
- Inventory was at a staggering 0.5 months (January 2019 it was 1.2). That means that it takes only ½ a month to sell every listed home!
