We trust you are all enjoying this gorgeous summer we are so fortunate to enjoy in our “Gem of the Sound” community! Kayaking, paddle boarding, and evening sunset strolls have been absolutely spectacular this season.
With all the natural beauty surrounding us, it’s no wonder our Burien Real Estate Market remains so strong (despite all the crash and panic headlines).
Let’s take a dive into the current State of the Market.Even with the recent “surge” of listings, Burien remains under 2 months of inventory, indicating a seller’s market.Graphical user interface, chart Description automatically generatedMedian days to sell are still at historically low levels, just 6 days, meaning demand for our area is strong.Chart, line chart Description automatically generated
