SPOKANE MARKET SUMMARY

Here's how I recommend responding.

If you're a buyer and you can afford it, dive in, pick up a property with a low purchase price, and wait to refinance. While you can ask for concessions, be cautious about asking for too much in terms of upfront credits on those most desirable homes in order to win the offer. People still value their homes, regardless of interest rates.

​

If you're a seller who has to move, list at a sensible price and be prepared for 9-30 days on the market. But if you want top dollar watch these interest rates and wait for them to come down and prices in turn will rise. It might take 12 months but that's just the reality of where we're at.
