Winter is here… Spokane is a wonderful place to live; I’ve been a resident of the area for nearly 20 years and would not be able to call any other place home! I have to say - I have not seen a snow fall like this ever! 17 inches in 24 hours is a new record for Spokane county.

As of 12/8/2008 we have 4,530 listings on the market with 9.8% of those listings pending. In the last 6 months we’ve closed 3,505 listings which means we have over 6 months of inventory still sitting. Only 753 expired listings in the last 6 months which tells us sellers are being patient and waiting for the sale. Overall sellers are getting 95.8% of their asking price on average and our average market time is 82 days. The lowest market time is in the 75-99k range with only 53 days and the runner up is the 150,000 to 174,999 range at 62 days. These conditions aren’t too bad considering the rest of the country and according to National Association of Realtors statistics from across the country – Spokane Washington is rated 4 out of 10 most promising Housing Markets with an average sales price increase of 4.4%. If you have any questions or want me to do a no-strings-attached analysis of your home, please do not hesitate to contact me!
