What Impact Do Inventory & Interest Rates Have on My Buy/Sell Timeline in Washington?
The market in Washington is dynamic—and whether it favors buyers or sellers directly impacts how we approach your simultaneous move.
When Inventory is Low (Seller’s Market):
Your home may sell quickly and at a premium
Finding your next home could be more competitive
We may need rent-backs, bridge loans, or creative offers to buy in time
When Rates Are High:
Some buyers may sit on the sidelines
There may be fewer offers, but also less urgency on the buy side
Refinancing later becomes a viable option if you buy now
When Inventory is High (Buyer’s Market):
You’ll have more homes to choose from, potentially at better prices
Your own home may take longer to sell, so we prep and price carefully
In either case, I run detailed market data for both your current and future location—so you can see where timing will help or hurt your strategy. We factor in:
Days on market
Active inventory levels
Mortgage trends and affordability
Seasonal slowdowns or surges
This isn’t about playing the market. It’s about using the market wisely to guide your decisions with clarity.
