WOW! 101-story residential and mixed-use tower planned for downtown Seattle! It will be the tallest skyscraper on the West Coast, and only slightly lower than the tallest in the US (One World Trade Center in NYC, 105 stories) #Seattle #realestate

This article says “Many of the factors that made 2023 the least affordable year for homebuying on record are easing,” However this will not fix itself quickly. Seattle Suburbs still offer great alternatives that have at least a little lower prices. https://t.co/iH1j6Mzc1P #SeattleRealEstate #MarketTrends

Mortgage rates are dropping, as indicated by the core PCE price index dropping to 3.2% in November. The Federal Reserve is considering rate cuts, with a CME FedWatch Tool suggesting an 86% chance of at least two cuts by May 1st of 2024, potentially lowering the federal funds rate to 3.75-4.0%. This has led to a significant drop in mortgage rates, with 30-year fixed-rate conforming mortgages averaging 6.60%, down from a 2023 peak of 7.83%.
