Walla Walla’s real estate market experienced an icy month. Both listings and sales continued to decline and harsh winter conditions are partly to blame. Many brokers reported that their sellers who wanted to list homes in February were waiting for the snow to melt so they could prepare their homes for market. In addition, slippery roads combined with the prospect of additional homes coming on the market caused some buyers to delay their purchase decisions. Through the first two months, closed home sales fell 17% behind last years pace.
Everyone is ready for spring! And Walla Walla’s real estate market is poised to get very busy. Warm weather will certainly bring listings to market and buyer demand for homes in the Walla Walla Valley will remain strong. Our local economy, favorable mortgage rates, and small-town lifestyle will continue to make owning a home here a very desirable investment. Like pretty much everyone, we are ready for the snow to melt!
