The West Seattle area of Seattle (Alki, Alaska Junction, White Center, Admiral, Fauntlero, High Point) has exhibited the most buoyant condo sales activity in the city. Last month's 4.1% increase in median price to $300,950 reversed a three month year-over-year decline. It also reflected the third consecutive month-over-month increase in condo values. With 109 active listings in March, West Seattle's absorption rate stands at 4.7 months.

Condos in the Northeast Seattle area (University, Roosevelt, Lake City, Pinehurst, Wedgwood) is slowing showing signs of improvement from the seasonal Winter downturn. The median condo price rose slightly over February to $255,800, though a tad lower than March of 2007 by .85%.
Unfortunately, the 126 active listings reflect a 5% increase over February and 142% above the same period last year. However, the Northeast neighborhoods were the only areas of the city that did not experience a decline in the number of pending sales, and at 4.1 months, has the lowest inventory supply rate in Seattle.
