Kim is always working with buyers and sellers, and she has her finger on the pulse of the market. People have been a stuck in this market because of the high interest rates. And condos have sufferered the most in this market.

Our Diva Kim talks about interest rates, which homes are selling in multiple offers, and so much more.

Below are a few highlights that discussed in the article:

Why haven’t the interest rate drops impacted the housing market in Seattle? “These rate drops were just too little too late to overcome the current economic craziness,” said Kim Colaprete, owner and managing broker of Team Diva Real Estate in Seattle.
How has the economic news curbed Seattle homebuyer appetite? “It’s almost numbing at this point,” Colaprete said. “I don’t know if there’s one thing in particular that impacted the market. I think that all these things, overall, have had an impact.”
Is it a buyers or sellers market in Seattle? “Our market is slow, but it is still a seller’s market in some areas,” Colaprete said, adding that bidding wars were rare but still happened for desirable properties.
How are condos in Seattle doing right now? Certain parts of Seattle have skyrocketing inventory, Colaprete said. One-bedroom condos and condos in Capitol Hill are especially hard to sell right now. “The condo market has been super brutal this year,” Colaprete said.
