The gathering brought together homebuilders, developers and industry specialists to discuss how new construction sales and homebuyers are faring in Seattle\u2019s red-hot market. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman kicked off the event, and discussed how Redfin and builders can work together to help make the Seattle region stronger, more affordable and more diverse by building new housing with data-driven insights. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHow can we figure out that future, together? You want to know where to build, what to build, how much to charge, and there&#8217;s a data-driven answer to that,\u201d said Kelman. \u201cWhen websites change where holes in the ground get dug and how high buildings go up, that fulfills our vision of online technology making a difference in the real world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the introduction from Kelman, Kate Knight, Redfin Builder Services national manager, painted a picture of a strong regional housing market driven by sustained buyer demand, but held back by a chronic lack of inventory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe fundamental demand drivers: job growth, income growth and in-migration all look great in the six-county area, and we\u2019re seeing Millennial buyers enter the market in larger numbers in recent months,\u201d said Knight. \u201cThe result &#8211; we\u2019re forecasting ongoing demand, but our obstacle going into the future is building inventory to meet the demand. This is not just about affordable homes, or homes designed for aging in place. We need more housing supply, period.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seattle\u2019s booming tech sector, growing transportation, trade and health services industries and lower unemployment rate have resulted in income growth. Seattle\u2019s median household income increased by nearly $10,000 over the past year, the biggest increase among the 50 most populous U.S. cities. While the forecast for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/mortgage-rates-homebuyers-might-not-need-to-depend-on-low-rates-anymore.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">household income<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and employment looks bright, there are issues that need to be addressed in Seattle.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-54926\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Inventory-4.png\" alt=\"Inventory (4)\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seattle has had an inventory shortage for years, and while we have gotten better, there is still a gap between buyer demand and homes for sale. The demand and supply imbalance results in new inventory coming on at higher price points, as well as bidding wars on existing homes for sale. Seattle buyers are already worried about affordability, and the result is buyers making tradeoffs during the homebuying decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-54927\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"Picture1\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The top compromises buyers are making are either paying more than planned, or searching in a different neighborhood. Things like buying in a lower-rated school district and buying in less walkable or transit-friendly communities ranked the lowest. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what\u2019s the takeaway for builders?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Builders\u2019 best options are either to build more expensive inventory, or build to unmet demand in areas where homebuyers are looking but aren\u2019t necessarily the current hotspots. Redfin Builder Services examined areas with increased interest on Redfin.com to find the next booming areas for homebuyers, and areas like Black Diamond, Renton, Kent and Lynnwood saw the biggest increase in home searches. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-54928\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Picture2.png\" alt=\"Picture2\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Builders should also make it easy for buyers to make decisions online, because buyers are starting to make offers without actually visiting properties in person. The result is more and more buyers reporting that the online experience, speed and responsiveness of data and agents are the most important factors when searching for homes in today\u2019s market. Redfin even added \u201cminutes on market\u201d to account for the growing need for speed and accuracy in a competitive market like Seattle.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-54929\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Capture3.png\" alt=\"Capture3\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kate Knight and Tana Lehman, Seattle market manager for Redfin Builder Services, concluded the event by congratulating current Redfin Builder Services clients<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.azurenw.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Azure Northwest,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveatlightrail.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Othello Partners<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.victory.partners\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Victory Partners<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on their recent success, and announcing new projects coming online in spring 2017.
