Here’s one of Kim’s quotes from the Seattle housing market article:
Kim always works with buyers and sellers and keeps her finger on the pulse of the market. People are stuck in this market because of the high interest rates. And apartments have suffered the most in this market.
Our Diva Kim talks about interest rates, which homes are sold in multiple listings, and much more.
Below are some highlights discussed in the article:
- Why haven’t interest rate drops affected Seattle’s housing market? “These interest rate drops were just too little too late to overcome the current economic craziness,” said Kim Colaprete, owner and managing broker of Team Diva Real Estate in Seattle.
- How has the economic news curbed the appetite of Seattle homebuyers? “It’s almost numbing at this point,” Colaprete said. “I don’t know if there’s one thing in particular that has impacted the market. I think overall, all of these things have had an impact.”
- Is it a buyer’s or seller’s market in Seattle? “Our market is slow, but in some areas it is still a seller’s market,” Colaprete said, adding that bidding wars were rare but still occurred for desirable properties.
- How are apartments doing in Seattle right now? Certain parts of Seattle have skyrocketing inventory, Colaprete said. One-bedroom apartments and condos in Capitol Hill are especially hard to sell right now. “The condo market has been super brutal this year,” Colaprete said.
