With so much local, national, and global uncertainty lately, you might expect buyers to be pulling back. But in our PhinneyWood neighborhood, the opposite appears to be happening.
The number of homes sold in March doubled from a year ago, while new listings rose 31% and available inventory increased 25%. Even with more homes to choose from, days on market droppedโclear evidence that buyers are moving quickly when the right homes come available.

Interestingly, median prices and price per square foot were lower than a year ago. But with sales volume jumping so dramatically, that likely says more about the mix of homes sold than any weakening in demand.
What may be happening is simple: buyers are adjusting to uncertainty. Instead of waiting for perfect conditions, many seem to be moving forward anyway because life keeps moving. Families grow, jobs change, and housing needs donโt always wait for calmer headlines.
That mindset could make this spring stronger than many expected.
If youโre thinking about buying or selling this year, understanding how to navigate a shifting market can make a meaningful difference. Call Doron at 206-779-9808 for a no-obligation consultation and a smart plan tailored to your goals.
