Hi, I’m Doron Weisbarth with Weisbarth & Associates, and welcome to my July 2025 Market Update!
May gave us a big surprise—housing inventory in our area just hit a 10-year high. That’s right: in a single month, the number of available homes for sale surged to levels we haven’t seen in over a decade. But what’s behind that spike might surprise you—especially if you’re thinking about selling your home soon.
Let’s look at the numbers.

Seattle is now sitting at 2.9 months of housing supply, with King County right behind at 2.8 months. What this means is that if no new listings hit the market, then, at the current pace of home sales, that’s how long it would take to sell everything that’s on the market. Historically, a balanced market is considered to be between 4 to 6 months of supply. So even though this is the highest inventory we’ve seen in years, we’re still not technically in a buyer’s market—it’s just a softer seller’s market than we’ve gotten used to. And that shift feels… different.
By the way, if you want to see this and other graphs and dive into all the details at your own pace, you’ll find everything in my June newsletter. It’s available online and for download, for free, at Weisbarth.com/newsletter—that’s Weisbarth.com/newsletter.

Now here’s the interesting part: despite the inventory surge, median home prices actually dipped slightly in May. More homes did sell compared to earlier in the year, but the price drop is in line with seasonal trends. Usually we see this kind of dip in June or July—this year, it just showed up a little early.
So what’s causing all this inventory to build up? One answer is new construction, which now make up about 20% of the market—but many of those are just sitting unsold, mostly because they’re overpriced for current buyer expectations. But it’s not just the new builds. Resale homes are also taking longer to sell—just not quite as dramatically.
What’s really holding buyers back right now is uncertainty. Interest rates are hovering just under the 7% mark, but they’ve been this high before, and buyers were much more active. Howeer, lately, people are just… waiting. Waiting for a sign. Waiting for a signal that it’s safe to jump back in. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: a confused mind will do nothing. And many people are in a state of confusion about the economy.
It reminds me of a sea anemone. Have you ever seen what happens if you touch it? It immediately retracts into its little safe space, faster than the blink of eye. But eventually, it has to open up again, because it needs to eat to survive and there’s no food inside it’s shell! In the same way, buyers can’t sit out forever. People still need homes. And when confidence returns, we’ll see that familiar wave of pent-up demand come rushing back, just like in past cycles.
That’s why it’s so important to stay ahead of the curve. If you—or someone you know—is planning to sell this year, the key to success is preparation, timing, and execution. My team and I have proven systems that help sellers shine, even in a changing market. And we’ll show you exactly how to tailor our approach to your goals, your timeline, and your home.
Oh—and don’t forget: when you work with us, you’re also helping support Akin, a fantastic nonprofit that helps kids and families in need thrive. So your real estate decisions are making a difference beyond just the transaction. And that’s something that all of us at Weisbarth & Associates are really proud of.
