Since September 2016, Seattle has been the hottest housing market in the country. Home prices here have grown by about $200,000. But all of that changed in August of 2018 when inventory almost tripled and home prices fell on average $25,000. So what does this mean for the Seattle housing market? Will we see another housing crash like in 2008? Will we lose all of the equity our investments have gained? Will we be okay, Seattle?
Tyler discusses all of that and more on today’s episode of the Rise Seattle Podcast.
