Primary market sales rose faster than listings

Sales are outrunning new supply here. That matters for how you price and time your move.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 606 homes sold across the Primary market in the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is up 18.8% from the same three months in 2025. New listings rose only 5.9% over the same stretch. Demand grew faster than supply.

Pending sales also rose 16.4%, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That tells you buyers are still moving, even as more homes come on. The pipeline is active, not stalled.

How this compares with the country

The National Association of Realtors reported 4.9 months of supply nationally, the highest level in over ten years. The Primary market is running well below that. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows months of supply at 3.4 in 98373, 3.2 in 98371, 3.7 in 98372, 2.6 in 98374, and 2.7 in 98375. Every ZIP sits tighter than the national number.

Realtor.com reported typical days on market in the U.S. at 61 days for the week ending September 19, 2026. Compare that with local medians: 22 days in 98371, 22 days in 98374, 20 days in 98375, 27 days in 98372, and 28 days in 98373, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Homes here are moving far faster than the national pace.

A ZIP by ZIP look

Prices did not rise everywhere. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median sale price in 98374 fell 7.1% year over year, to $604,025. In 98372, it dipped 1.7%, to $589,500. In 98375, it slipped 0.5%, to $550,000. Sales volume rose in all five ZIPs, but pricing moved in different directions.

Where buyers are moving fastest

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 45.1% of homes in 98371 went under contract within two weeks of listing. In 98375 it was 40.3%, in 98374 it was 39.5%, in 98372 it was 36.5%, and in 98373 it was 35.6%. In every ZIP, more than a third of homes found a buyer in two weeks or less.

What mortgage rates look like right now

Freddie Mac put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.03% as of September 24, 2026. The 15-year fixed averaged 6.42%. Realtor.com reported a rate of 6.95% for the week ending September 19, 2026. Rates are still elevated, yet local sales are climbing.

What this means for you

Sales are rising faster than listings here. That is different from the national picture, where the National Association of Realtors says supply is at a ten-year high. Locally, demand has kept pace. Still, some ZIPs saw prices slip, and days on market crept up in a few areas. Pricing carefully still matters.

One street can read very differently from the whole ZIP code. The numbers above are a starting point, not the whole story for your home.
