Downtown Bellevue Condo Market Update

Downtown condo sales started the year off stronger than last despite record low levels of inventory. 49 condos sold averaging $906,859 per unit and $611/sq. ft. in the first quarter, a 50% increase in the number of sales at this time last year.
With only 25 actively listed condos and another 24 condos under contract to purchase, we anticipate a strong 2nd quarter. Currently, the broadest selection of inventory is at Washington Square with condos starting at $776,000.
