Real Estate Report: Inventory Expanding; Pierce, Thurston Buck Broader Sales-Price Declines
June brought some notable shifts to our local real estate scene: active home listings climbed 16.4% to 23,088, giving buyers more options to consider. Closed sales edged up by 2.3%, and the median home price held steady at $650,000—down 3% from last year. While mortgage rates increased to 6.49%, putting some pressure on affordability, I’ve seen that certain counties, including Pierce and Thurston, are holding strong with price increases that defy the broader trend. As someone who works closely with buyers and sellers across Pierce, King, and Thurston Counties, I’m always keeping a close eye on these shifts to ensure my clients are well positioned—whether they’re looking to buy, sell, or simply stay informed.

How to Know if a Home Fits Your Lifestyle?
Navigating the starter home market can feel like a balancing act, especially for first-time buyers weighing when to make their move. As someone who’s guided clients across Pierce, King, and Thurston Counties, I’ve seen firsthand how timing the market is rarely straightforward. While it may be tempting to wait for lower interest rates, keep in mind that a dip could spark renewed competition, driving home prices up and making it even tougher to secure your ideal property. My approach has always been to listen closely to each client’s needs and help them make informed decisions with the current market realities in mind—because sometimes, waiting can mean missing out on the right opportunity.
