As the Spring real estate season heats up in Seattle, the number of homes going under contract continues to rise quickly.  The number of pending contracts for houses in Seattle grew 11 percent from March through April.  While total closed house sales were also growing, the stronger trend line for pending transactions shows a strong growth prospect for the upcoming summer months.  The faster home sales close, the faster buyers scoop up new listings the next month.

Washington Park is a stately neighborhood included with Madison Park real estate in many of the searches  so I wanted to make sure and include it here as well... I will detail Broadmoor, Washington Park, Denny-Blaine, and Madison Park separately because they are separate and distinct neighborhoods in reality, however only Washington Park is lumped together with Madison Park in real estate search engines, so my apologies in advance that Madison Park and environs are not all separate...
