Federal Way’s housing sales were down by 17.1 percent in August compared to August 2013. A total of 84 homes were sold and spent a median 21 days on the market, the Redfin data shows. But about 22 percent of those homes sold above their listing price.

Redfin’s data is from their Real-Time Housing Market Tracker, which reports local home prices, sales volume and inventory. The numbers only reflect transactions on the Multiple Listing Service, a local or regional database of available real estate for sale by member brokers.
