With such conditions, it is not surprising that homes will get snatched up pretty quickly. Houses on average sit just 45 days on the market, which is down nearly 34% since last year. Seattle has shown signs of a recovering housing market. The median home price of $350,000 is up almost 13% since last year, one of the 10 highest increases. Only 0.51% of homes in the area are in foreclosure, the second lowest on this list after Anchorage. The unemployment rate of 7.4%, well lower than the U.S. rate of 8.2%, helps give the housing market a boost. http://247wallst.com/2012/07/25/american-cities-where-homes-sell-fastest/#ixzz2AJZiUY79
