Seattle pricing has dipped a VERY slight amount(1%) despite a massive increase in inventory(40%) which describes the market change Seattle is seeing as normalizing.

The eastside is sitting on around 4 months of active inventory, jumping into a true balanced market. This is pretty much the first time we've seen this since 2012 when the housing market had finally climbed its way out of the great recession. BUT, The market hasn't stopped. The competitive balance has changed. Buyers are able to be pickier, and with that pricing increases have slowed compared to the frenetic pace they had been growing at (tripling values since 2012).

New listings hit a record high of 3,452 last quarter (or at least the 6 year high) and it appears that home shoppers were excited by the new inventory! 1,528 sales posted in Q2 of 2026. Even with this great news we are still living in a “feast or famine” era. With 3.7 months of Eastside inventory, again the highest we’ve seen in more than 6 years, it’s encouraging to see that 22% of homes sold with multiple offers. This lends statistical proof to what your agent has always told you: well prepared, strategically priced, “good” homes will be exciting in any market.

New listings hit a record high of 3,427 last quarter (or at least the 6 year high) up 0.4% YOY and sales tracked very closely behind, down just 0.6% from 2,027 in Q2 2025 to 2,014 in Q2 2026. Median home prices responded by ticking down the tiniest bit, 2% or $20,000, encouraging despite the loss.
