The Housing Market Is Getting More Expensive to Wait Out
Like the Spokane River, the real estate market keeps moving—sometimes swiftly, sometimes with subtle shifts beneath the surface. Lately, higher borrowing costs are reshaping the current, making it more expensive to simply wait on the sidelines. For those weighing the idea of holding off on a home purchase, it’s important to know: home prices aren’t dropping quickly enough to balance out today’s financing rates. That means waiting doesn’t always translate to savings on your monthly payment or the total cost of your new home.

But every bend in the river brings new opportunities. In some neighborhoods—especially where inventory has improved—buyers still have room to negotiate and sellers are eager to make a deal. The takeaway? Deciding when to move forward is about more than just chasing a lower rate. It’s about understanding the full picture: financing, price, and your ability to negotiate.

As your Spokane Real Estate Concierge, I help you navigate these changing waters with clarity and care—so every step you take is informed, resilient, and uniquely yours.

Price Cuts Hit 1 in 5 Listings
Like the Spokane River, our real estate market is always in motion—sometimes swift, sometimes gentle, but always reshaping the landscape. As we moved through Late-Q3, I noticed that about one in five listings experienced price cuts, while fewer than 6% were delisted. In other words, many sellers chose to stay the course and adjust their expectations rather than step away entirely—a testament to resilience and adaptability.

The mortgage environment added its own currents, with the conforming 30-year fixed rate rising from the high-6% range to above 7% by mid-month, and continuing upward. Active inventory surpassed 1.16 million homes, while median listing prices eased by roughly 1% month-over-month to $419,300. This subtle shift gave buyers a bit more room to negotiate, though higher borrowing costs meant many couldn’t take full advantage of their newfound leverage. New listings dipped about 2% to approximately 395,000.

Economists are watching Early-Q4 to see if these challenging conditions will bring deeper discounts or longer selling times. As your Spokane real estate concierge, I’m here to help you navigate these shifting waters—always focused on building lasting relationships, not just closing transactions. The river moves forward, and so do we—together.

What does a home warranty cover and what's excluded?
Much like the Spokane River—ever-adapting and quietly shaping its surroundings—a home warranty can offer a sense of flow and reassurance for homeowners as they navigate the journey of property ownership. These warranties typically cover major systems and appliances, with flexible plans that focus on just the systems, just the appliances, or both. Optional add-ons are also available for those unique needs that every home presents. However, it’s important to recognize what isn’t included: structural components and any preexisting conditions are generally outside the scope of coverage. Each warranty comes with its own specific limits and details, so—as with the river’s twists and turns—it pays to review everything thoughtfully. My role as your real estate concierge is to help you make sense of these details and ensure your homeownership experience flows as smoothly as possible.

Housing Data Gives Buyers More Leverage
As the Spokane River gently shapes our landscape, the real estate market is shifting its own course—and right now, the current is flowing in favor of buyers. In late Q3, about 21% of active listings across the country experienced price reductions, and inventory rose to over 1.16 million homes—within 9% of what we saw before the pandemic. Buyer activity, however, remains measured, with homes under contract down by around 4% year-over-year for the second month in a row, as higher mortgage costs continue to challenge affordability. The national median list price holds at approximately $419,000, marking an eleven-month stretch of yearly declines; price per square foot has also softened by about 2% compared to last year. Sellers are still very much in the market, with only about 6% of listings being delisted, nearly unchanged from last year. What’s notable is the increasing willingness among homeowners to adjust prices and make space for real negotiation—something I see reflected in our Spokane neighborhoods as well. The next turning point will be whether these price cuts spark more signed contracts, or if we’ll see inventory continue to rise as demand steadies. Like the river, this market is always moving and creating new opportunities—for those ready to navigate it thoughtfully, with a guide who values relationships as much as results.

Homebuyers Enjoy Greater Choice as Listings Reach Six-Year High
The flow of Spokane’s housing market is shifting—much like the river that shapes our city. Right now, we’re witnessing a true buyer’s market: there are 57.9% more sellers than buyers nationwide, and listings have climbed by 3.9%. Buyer activity, though, has only edged up by 0.1%. That means choices for buyers are opening up, but high mortgage rates and prices continue to challenge affordability for many. Inventory is at its highest point since 2020, while sales are slowing. In moments like these, I navigate the changing current with you—offering insight, resilience, and a steady hand to help you find the right path, whether you’re considering selling or searching for your next home. Relationships, not transactions, shape the journey. Let’s move forward together.

Gen Z buyers lead every generation on affordability trade-offs
Like the Spokane River, every generation forges its own path in the real estate landscape—but Gen Z’s journey stands out for its adaptability and resilience. Recent insights show that Gen Z buyers are leading the way when it comes to making practical affordability trade-offs, showing a willingness to trim expenses and embrace smaller spaces in order to achieve homeownership. Canadians, in particular, appear most open to the idea of downsizing, while British buyers are less inclined to make compromises. As someone who’s spent nearly two decades guiding clients through Spokane’s ever-shifting market, I’m continually inspired by those who, like the river, find creative ways to keep moving forward—shaping their futures with flexibility and intention. Relationships and adaptability remain at the heart of every successful home search, no matter your generation.

'More choice for buyers': The best spring listings under $1 million
Much like the ever-adapting river that inspires my approach, I keep a close eye on new opportunities flowing through the real estate landscape—even beyond Spokane. I recently noticed that, across Australia’s major cities, homes under $1 million are still within reach for buyers, despite tighter listings and rising interest rates. There are affordable gems waiting in select suburbs, coastal spots, and regional communities throughout the states and territories. For me, discovering these possibilities reaffirms how resilience and adaptability can reveal new paths, even in a shifting market. Whether here at home or across the globe, it’s the spirit of finding options and forging connections that truly shapes our journeys. 🏡

WA Energy-Efficient Homes Earn Premiums
In the ever-evolving world of real estate, it’s fascinating to see how energy efficiency is shaping the way buyers and renters make decisions—especially in places like WA, where comfort, affordability, and year-round performance take center stage. Much like the Spokane River carves its path through our city, priorities in home selection are shifting, flowing toward features that offer lasting value and sustainability. According to a new report, energy performance is emerging as a key factor, with two WA case studies demonstrating how homes with thoughtful energy features stand out when compared, marketed, or assessed. It’s a reminder that our role as real estate professionals now extends beyond curb appeal and location—we’re here to guide clients through the nuances of what makes a home truly livable, from running costs to overall comfort. As energy ratings and performance details become more visible, our ability to highlight these elements is becoming more essential with every transaction. I see this as another opportunity to deepen relationships and help clients find not just a house, but a home that fits their evolving needs.
