Snohomish County posted one of the strongest rise in home prices this year in August - up a whopping 16% year over year. Does this mean that prices are going to continue rising at this pace? Are we going back to the "bubble" days when home prices were rising out of control?
The answer to these questions is: not likely. When we look at the historical statistics over a long period of time, the trend is for sales volumes and home prices to drop off in the fall. This happens most every year and is a typical cycle.
Typically the market peaks in price and sales volume in August and trends down through the fall and winter months just to pick up again in the spring.
Another market influence is increasing inventory. Even though the increase has been minimal, it is a reversing trend that will influence supply and demand which is what has been influencing home prices.
