Area Home Sales Slower

Home sales have flattened in the South Puget Sound, according to an analysis of Olympic MLS statistics reported in The Olympian newspaper.

June sales were about the same as last year, with 459 sold this year
compared to 461 last year. June sales could finish up about five percent as
additional closed sales get recorded, said Jerry Wilkins, manager of the listing service. Regardless, it wouldn't come close to the 23 percent increase in home sales that the Olympic MLS reported in May.

In February, the median price of a home was $248,475, compared with $199,000 the year before, according to the Olympic MLS data. Read more. And be sure to check out our current listings.
