The appetite for U.S. real estate continues to flourish, but international buyers are shifting their sights from luxury to less-pricey properties. This may be due to overall higher home prices, along with a stronger U.S. dollar, which both cost foreign buyers more at the negotiating table. There are also fewer nonresident foreigners investing in the market.

Island County Real Estate Market Sees Home Sales Fall | Published: 6/2/2016 | Homesnap Real...

While home sales in the Island County market have been above average, in this week's report they slid 2.7% to 146 homes sold over the last 30 days. On the other hand, close-by King County registered 2,803 home sales in the same period, the most of all surrounding counties. The median sales price climbed to $292,200, up from last week's $286,000. Despite the slip in sales, a relatively low three months of inventory indicates that Island County is a seller's market.
