Demand for housing has increased throughout the nation as a result of a strong economy and
rapid increases in population in some regions. The Pacific Northwest, particularly Spokane
County, has experienced significant increases in population growth as the region gains notoriety
for low building costs, housing affordability and medium-size city amenities. According to a
recent report by real estate brokerage firm Redfin, Spokane is one of four top markets in the
nation experiencing the largest growth in home sales. Approximately three-quarters of home
searches in Spokane come from out-of-town buyers.
