Of course they are as interest rates are rising quickly. Nobody is talking about it, but free (or almost) money was also a good reason why prices increased that much.

Prices were dropping before interest rates went up.

It is still one of the most expensive and sought after places to live in the country, and maybe even the world. You can’t just remove all context from reality to try to make your points. You know this. Be a big boy.

Now you’re just desperately pulling things out of the air.
My statement the cycle of movement to urban centers might be reversing, and I used condo prices in SF since pre-Covid as a data point.
You come back with “its still one of the most expensive places in the world”. Then you said “Be a big boy”.
You’ve failed to make your case and resorted to condescending remarks.
Let’s just chalk this up to you failed to disprove my argument and leave it at that? Unless you had more condescending statements to make?
And you yourself said "Bellevue and other suburbs are more expensive than Seattle." Which would infer that yes, people are leaving the city and moving to suburbs.
