A look at activity during July of 2010
North Seattle Neighborhood Market Report
Usually the months of July and August are somewhat slow in Seattle's north end. The overall picture reflects that. The absorption rate for all of north Seattle was 3.83% in June and for July it is up to 5.2%. A lot more listings came on the market that were sold. A 5-6% abrorption rate is considered a balanced market.
As you can see, some key Seattle neighborhoods like Green Lake, Ravenna, and Bryant are faring better. Inventory in Seattle usually builds throughout the year until September. Then it fades to a low around January 1st. it will be interesting to watch the absorptioin rate during this recovery year.

People are after those Bryant schools! Good numbers Glenn:)
Hi Glenn: I have to agree with Courtney... and the numbers are looking good.
Courtney - Bryant has always be popular.
Rene - The good markets are hyperlocal. Sellers have learned the value of "right pricing."
Things get sold.
