Seattle’s Housing Market Holds Strong—Here’s How We Compare Nationally header image.

While other metros are struggling, Seattle remains one of the healthiest housing markets in the U.S.

🏡 Seattle Real Estate: Resilient in 2025

While many metro areas nationwide are experiencing steep price declines, oversupply, and rising foreclosures, Seattle continues to stand strong. Here’s how we compare to markets that are truly struggling:


🔻 What’s Happening Nationally

  • Cape Coral, FL: Prices down 11%, 8% of homeowners underwater

  • Denver, CO: Forecasted –8.6% price decline

  • Austin, TX: Prices down ~5% YoY, oversupply increasing


🌧️ Seattle Stands Apart

  • +0.9% YoY home price growth (Redfin, May 2025)

  • Low inventory compared to pre-pandemic levels

  • 45% of homes go pending in <30 days

  • Sellers offering concessions—but homes are still moving quickly

🔎 Seattle is cooling—but not crashing. We're seeing a healthy balance between buyers and sellers.
