Seattle\u2019s booming office market has eclipsed its housing\u00a0sector in recent months, but the housing market could turn out to be a sleeper. Recent numbers indicate that 2011 is on track to edge last year\u2019s home sales.<\/p>\n

Although prices have effectively remained flat, home sales volume for August enjoyed a 35 percent jump compared to the same month last year. \u00a0According to the Seattle Times,<\/em> <\/em>August was the first month since February to top the equivalent sales figures for 2010. The improvement is especially noteworthy considering that last year\u2019s housing market benefited from federal tax incentives.<\/p>\n

County records indicate that 63 waterfront properties have traded so far this year\u2014one more than a year ago at this time, \u00a0the <\/em>Seattle Post-Intelligencer<\/em> reported.<\/em><\/p>\n
