Homes In Bellevue | Real Estate Update

Posted by The Cascade Team Real Estate on July 15th, 2011

As of July 15th, 2011, there are currently 429 active residential homes for sale in the city of Bellevue.  Of the 429 active listings, 19 are bank owned homes, with an average price of $563,779 and 118 days on market, and 35 are shorts sales, with an average price of $676,654 and 153 days on market.  It would appear based on this that buyers are not as drawn to short sales as prices don't appear to be as attractive as they once were.
