If a site has a higher amount of real estate for sale, for the amount of people there that typically means that real estate will be valued lower, job conditions may be poor, so people are trying to leave, and fewer people are purchasing. For example, in King County Woodinville has one home for sale for every fifty people. On the Contrary, Seattle has one home for sale for every 190, that means that fewer people are selling homes in Seattle. This graph also coorolates somewhat with the cost of home for sale in an area. It is somewhat an opposite bell curve. People who live in poor areas are holding onto their homes, because they can’t get a lot from it, while those in expensive areas also seem to hold onto their home. The graph below shows how many people there are for every one house for sale. The best city is Shoreline, with nearly 250 people for every real estate listing.
King County has a wide scope of home values by city. One of the easiest ways to tell how affluent a city is, is to look at where the median cost of a home in that area is.

On the other hand, the highest dollar home to live with rare valuable real estate is Mercer Island, with homes being almost ten times higher than the value of Tukwila.
