Dear Clients, Friends and Family –
The 3rd Quarter Gardner Report shows San Juan County once again as a significant outlier for Western Washington. Regionally, annual average home prices were up 26% from a year ago but with a considerable drop in sales from 2020 to 2021 (a result most likely of growing home prices and continued low inventory). Additionally, the average time on the market is up over 25%, typically indicating a slowing market, but because we have so little inventory, it is bound to be slower. Interesting times! The San Juan County and Area 901 [Orcas, Obstruction & Crane Islands] Breakouts compare a snapshot of October 2020 versus October 2021, reflecting the strong buyer demand we saw for the lion’s share of 2021.
