The end of a four-year downward trend? Home prices move up in April
For the first time in more than four years, the median price of homes sold in Western Washington turned upward in April, a new report reveals.
The report from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service released Thursday shows a modest 1.27 percent uptick in median home selling prices overall for the 21 mostly Western Washington counties the real estate listing service covers. Median prices for homes sold in April this year were $240,000 compared with $237,000 in April of 2011.
Home sales prices in Pierce and King counties, however, still continued trending downward, but Thurston County sales prices were up, the listing service report said.
