Closed Sales

Closed sales increased 2.3% year over year, with 6,847 residential and condominium transactions completed in June 2026, compared to 6,694 in June 2025. Month over month, closed sales increased 10.2%, up from 6,213 in May 2026.

The total dollar value of closed sales in June 2026 was $5.23 billion for residential homes and $463.8 million for condominiums, for a combined total of $5.69 billion.

The increase in closed sales reflects continued buyer activity as the summer market got underway, with more transactions closing than in both the previous month and a year ago. Despite a growing supply of homes on the market, buyers continue to purchase homes across the Northwest MLS service area, contributing to a more balanced housing market.

Months of Inventory

A balanced market is generally considered to have four to six months of inventory. At the current pace of sales, it would take approximately 3.37 months to sell every home currently listed in the NWMLS service area, down slightly from 3.44 months in May.

The counties with the lowest months of inventory were Kitsap (2.15), Cowlitz (2.47), Clark (2.56), Pierce (2.66), and Snohomish (2.74), indicating tighter market conditions in those areas.

Although months of inventory edged lower in June as sales activity increased, buyers continue to have substantially more homes to choose from than they did a year ago. Inventory levels remain below balanced market conditions in many counties, but the continued increase in the number of homes for sale is providing buyers with more choices and greater negotiating opportunities than they have seen in recent years.

Median Price

The median sales price for residential homes and condominiums sold in June 2026 was $650,000, unchanged from May 2026, but a 3.0% decrease compared to June 2025 ($670,000).

Despite continued inventory growth throughout the region, home prices remained stable from May to June. The combination of increased inventory and relatively flat pricing may create opportunities for buyers who have faced limited housing supply in recent years.

The counties with the highest median sales prices were San Juan ($1,012,500), King ($889,000), and Snohomish ($725,500), while the lowest median prices were recorded in Adams ($226,000), Columbia ($244,900), and Wahkiakum ($268,000).

San Juan County recorded the highest median sales price in the NWMLS service area at just over $1.0 million, more than 4.5 times higher than Adams County’s median price of $226,000, highlighting the significant variation in housing prices across Washington.
