As we end the year, PhinneyWood's market is following the usual seasonal
slowdown, with fewer new listings and sales. But unlike the broader Seattle
market-where median prices dipped -our neighborhood has held steady for
months and even posted a solid year-over-year gain.

Much of this stability comes from PhinneyWood's higher-priced homes,
which reflect a broader trend across Seattle: homes at or above the median
continue to sell more quickly and perform better than lower-priced ones.
That dynamic has helped support pricing even as inventory has increased.
Looking ahead to 2026, buyer hesitation driven by economic uncertainty is
building substantial pent-up demand. As in the past-eventually it breaks
loose, though the timing and strength are hard to predict. With mortgage
rates now at their lowest point in nearly three years, conditions are
improving for buyers once confidence returns.

If you're planning to make a move in 2026, now is the ideal time to prepare.
Positioning yourself ahead of the next market shift can make a meaningful
difference. Call Doron at 206-779-9808 for a no-obligation consultation, and
