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.
