MAY MARKET UPDATE | EASTSIDE

The May numbers are in, and the Eastside market continues to move toward a more balanced environment.

Inventory and months of supply reached their highest May levels in more than a decade, giving buyers more options and flexibility. At the same time, homes that were properly prepared and strategically priced continued to perform well, with more than 40% selling at or above list price.

Residential Market
• Median sold price: $1,510,000 (down 8% year over year)
• Active listings increased 27%
• Pending sales declined 8%

Condominium Market
• Median sold price: $661,500 (down 9% year over year)
• Active listings increased 17%

While these figures may suggest a cooling market, demand remains healthy for desirable homes. The Eastside is becoming more balanced rather than weak, creating opportunities for buyers while continuing to reward sellers who position their homes strategically.

Whether you’re considering buying, selling, or simply curious about your home’s current value, understanding local market trends is essential to making informed decisions.

EASTSIDE MARKET UPDATE | APRIL 2026

The Eastside market continues to recalibrate as we move further into 2026.

Median residential sold prices declined 9% year-over-year to $1.55M, while active listings increased 60%. Despite greater inventory, pending sales fell 15%, reflecting a more measured and selective buyer pool.

Mortgage rate sensitivity continues to shape decision-making, particularly at higher price points, while properties that are strategically priced are still seeing meaningful engagement.

In the condominium market, median sold prices rose 3% to $728K, though inventory growth of 40% year-over-year may place pressure on pricing resilience in the months ahead.

The current market is creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers — but strategy, positioning, and timing matter more than ever.

If you’re considering a move this year, I’d be happy to provide insight tailored to your goals.

April 2026 Eastside Market Update 📊

The Eastside market is clearly shifting this spring—and we’re starting to see a move toward more balanced conditions.

Inventory has expanded in a meaningful way, with 1,096 homes on the market at month’s end—up 60% and nearly double where we were this time last year. While we’re still technically in seller-favored territory, this increase is creating more options for buyers and more competition for sellers.

At the same time, demand has softened slightly, with pending sales down 15%. Buyers are still active—but they’re being more selective and taking their time.

We’re also seeing some price adjustments. Median residential prices dipped 9% to $1.55M, while condos showed a bit more resilience, rising 3% to $728K—even as inventory there continues to grow.

What does this mean?
The gap between rising inventory and slower sales activity could signal more softening ahead—but it also creates opportunity on both sides.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling this spring, strategy matters more than ever—let’s talk about your next move.

There’s a difference between putting your home on the market
and preparing it to sell well.

On the Eastside, buyers are paying attention.
To pricing, presentation, and how a home shows up from day one.

It’s not just about getting your home listed
it’s about positioning it in a way that stands out and creates demand.

That’s where strategy comes in.

Every home is different. Every situation is different.
And the plan should reflect that.

If you’ve been thinking about selling even just a little
I’m always happy to talk it through with you.

No pressure, just a conversation 🤍
