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.

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.

What Does This Data Mean?
The June 2026 housing market continued to shift toward a more balanced environment for buyers and sellers. Active inventory rose 16.4% compared to last year, giving buyers more options than they’ve had in recent months. While closed sales increased 2.3% year over year and jumped more than 10% from May, the median sales price held steady at $650,000 month over month but was down 3.0% from June 2025. Overall, increased inventory and stable sales activity suggest a healthier, more competitive market with less upward pressure on home prices.
What Does This Mean If You Are Buying A Home
With more homes on the market and prices leveling off, buyers have more choices and a little more negotiating power than they did a year ago. While well-priced homes are still selling, today’s market offers more time to compare options, negotiate terms, and make informed decisions without the intense competition seen in previous years.
What Does This Mean If You Are Selling A Home
Sellers can still achieve successful results, but pricing and presentation are more important than ever. With inventory increasing, buyers have more options, so homes that are competitively priced, well-prepared, and effectively marketed are the ones attracting the most interest and selling in a reasonable timeframe.
