Evergreen Real Estate Market Update May 2017
In the Evergreen real estate market, conditions continue to favor sellers, even as fewer houses become available compared to this time last year.
The 61 new listings in April 2017 represents a decrease over April 2016 with 84 listings.
The Multiple Listing Service reports that in April a total of 39 single family homes were sold in the Evergreen area. This indicates a 2.5% percent decrease over sales in April in 2016.
If we look at the absorption rate which shows how fast all the homes currently on the market would sell if no other homes came up for sale, it shows that there is only 1.4 months of supply which is indicative of a very hot market.
Prices in the Evergreen real estate market continued to decrease during that year-long period. The median price of a single-family home in the Evergreen area decreased 8.65% percent between $1,040,000 in April 2016 to $950,000 in April 2017.
The dollar volume of sales year over year decreased 0.79 percent.

Homes spend an average of 21.3 days on the market in Evergreen, which is a decrease from the same as in April 2016 with 25.8 days.
69.23% percent of homes that sold, sold for their asking price or above. This reflects a 10.77 percent increase over the same time last year.
Generally high prices, limited availability, and quick sales of those homes that come up for sale make the Evergreen real estate market a favorable environment for Sellers.
With the average sales price to list price ratio of 102.19 percent, assuming the home is priced right, sellers can expect to sell their home for at least 2.19% above the list price.
At the same time buyers can expect to pay at least 2.19% more than a home’s list price.
