How The 2024 Presidential Election is Impacting Home Sales in Seattle, WA
With the 2024 Presidential election now behind us, Seattle residents may be curious about how this could impact the local housing market.
Historically, election years (and the uncertainty that accompanies major elections) bring a temporary slowdown as buyers and sellers pause to see the outcome.
This year was no different, with nearly 23% of potential first-time homebuyers waiting until after the election to proceed.
The good news is that these slowdowns are usually short-lived. Sales often rebound quickly post-election as uncertainty subsides and confidence returns to the market.
In fact, data shows that home sales increase 88% of the time, in the year following an election. And current forecasts suggest that 2025 will see a significant uptick in sales—good news for anyone considering a move.
Curious about what’s ahead for the Seattle Real Estate market?
Read my latest blog to discover why 2025 might be a prime time to buy or sell and how you can take advantage of the market’s upcoming momentum.
Mastering The Market: When Is The Best Time To Move?
Many homeowners have held off on selling due to the higher mortgage rates they’d face on a new purchase.
If you’re in the same boat, you’re not alone!
But, life doesn’t always wait on rates.
Whether it’s:
- A job change,
- A growing family, or
- Health needs,
Sometimes it’s simply time to move on.
Real estate is about more than numbers; it’s about making a home that fits your life.
If a major life change has you rethinking your living space, now might still be the right time to take the plunge.
