🏡 King County vs. Pierce County | August 2026

If you’re wondering what the real estate market is actually doing right now, here’s a quick look at King County vs. Pierce County 👇

📍 KING COUNTY

• Closed sales: 1,385, down 12.5%
• New listings: 2,505, up 32%
• Average sale price: $1,210,594, down 3.6%

The biggest thing that jumps out is the 32% increase in new listings. Buyers have more options, while the drop in closed sales tells us buyers aren't absorbing that inventory at the same pace.
With the average sale price down 3.6%, sellers in King County may be feeling more pressure to price strategically and compete for buyers.

📍 PIERCE COUNTY

• Closed sales: 841, down 14.4%
• New listings: 1,282, up 7.5%
• Average sale price: $658,621, up 0.9%

Pierce County is telling a slightly different story.
Sales are down even more than King County, BUT the average sale price is still slightly higher than last year.
One possible reason? Affordability. Pierce County’s lower price point can attract buyers who may have been priced out of King County. We’re also seeing buyers look farther south for more house for their money.
And while Pierce has more inventory than last year, the increase is much smaller than King County’s. That can provide more support underneath prices.

So what does this actually mean?

King County: More inventory + fewer sales + declining average price = buyers may have more negotiating power, and sellers need to be strategic.

Pierce County: More inventory + fewer sales + relatively stable prices = buyers have more choices, but sellers aren't necessarily seeing the same level of price pressure.

But here’s the important part...
County-wide numbers are a starting point, not a pricing strategy. Your specific city, neighborhood, price range, property condition and competition can tell a VERY different story.

Thinking about buying, selling, or buying AND selling at the same time?

Aweeee thank you Walter Howard and Emily Howard- The Howard Team at Fairway Home Mortgage! You guys are the best!!! I love and appreciate you both so much!
For those of you who don’t know: these 3 people are part of my amazing team! Walter and Emily are my preferred lenders with Fairway Mortgage and they’re always checking in on me and sending me (or brining it over) anything I need (and don’t know I need yet, but this is Emily’s 6th sense)! They’re not just a part of my business, they’re great friends too and for that, I am grateful. This man who looks so thrilled to be here…he’s not only my husband and unpaid assistant - he’s my nurse and clearly he hates me right now. But hey…he’s still participating 🤪
Thank you Walter and Emily! I love the gift 🥰

🏈 If you’re thinking about relocating to Washington, let me introduce you to Husky football game days. 💜💛

There’s tailgating… and then there’s sailgating. 🚤🌊

Fans pack the boats, fire up the grills, throw on their purple and gold, and make their way across Lake Washington to Husky Stadium. And honestly, the setting is hard to beat.

Watching the Huskies play with Lake Washington as the backdrop, the mountains in the distance, and thousands of fans all around you is one of those experiences that makes you realize just how special it is to live here.

It’s not just the football. It’s the whole day. Friends, family, food, boats, sunshine, traditions and a little bit of Husky pride. 💜💛

If you’re considering a move to Washington, this is definitely going on my list of must-do experiences once you get here!

And yes… I’d be happy to help you find your way home. 🏡💜

Go Dawgs!! 💜💛🏈

Whether you’ve trusted me to help you buy your home, sell your home, invest, or simply referred a friend or family member, I truly appreciate your support. My business has always been built on relationships, not transactions, and I love creating opportunities to reconnect outside of real estate.

Client testimonials mean so much to me, especially when they come from someone I’ve known for years. ❤️

This one is from a longtime friend who trusted me with the sale of his home in Dash Point earlier this year. Having friends and family trust me with some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives means more to me than I can put into words.

Their feedback also helps me understand their experience, continue improving, and be an even better agent for the clients I’ll help in the future.

I’m incredibly grateful for that trust. ❤️ Thank you Lee for the wonderful review, it means the world to me.

This makes me SO proud to be part of KW Lake Washington South! ❤️

Our office was just named #1 in the region for the percentage of transactions that included a donation to KW Cares for the month of August!

And here’s something you may not know about working with me:

A portion of my commission from your transaction goes to KW Cares.

So when you choose me as your Realtor, your transaction doesn’t just support my small business. It also gives me an opportunity to give back. ❤️

I’m incredibly grateful for every client who trusts me to help them navigate such a big life decision. Knowing that a portion of that business can go toward helping others makes it even more meaningful.

Buy or sell a home, and let’s do a little good along the way. 🏡❤️

🚨 NWMLS JUST GOT A “FIRST LOOK” 👀

Starting this Friday, 9/4, the NWMLS is rolling out a new First Look feature for sellers…and I’m actually pretty excited about this one.

First Look allows a seller to pre-market their home for up to 21 days before it’s ready to officially hit the market.

Basically…buyers can get a first look before the home is fully live. 👀

And while the rest of the country has had something similar for a while, the NWMLS is finally catching up with the times! 😂

So why does this matter?

🏡 For sellers: It creates an opportunity to build anticipation, generate interest and get your home in front of potential buyers before it officially goes live.

🔎 For buyers: It gives you another way to discover homes coming to market before they hit the traditional MLS feed - especially helpful when the right home doesn’t come along every day.

And if you know me…you know that sitting still is NOT my specialty. 😂

I had knee surgery yesterday, which means I’m going to be forced to slow down for the next couple of weeks.

So instead of going stir crazy, CALL ME! 😂📱

Let’s talk about First Look, what it means for buyers and sellers, and - more importantly - how you can start preparing for your next move.

Thinking about buying, selling, or doing both anytime between yesterday and the next year?

👉 This is the perfect time to catch me and pick my brain, while I’m momentarily sitting still!

You know me… no pressure, just a conversation about YOUR goals, the market and what you can do NOW to set yourself up for success when the time is ready.

Call me, let’s talk! ☎️🏡 206-981-6313
