Seattle Metro Housing Market Updates
I publish a monthly market update covering prices, inventory, mortgage rates, and what the data actually means for buyers and sellers across the Seattle metro. Each update includes county-level and city-level numbers so you can see what is happening in your specific area, not just the metro average.
Latest Update
July 2026: Summer Correction Window and the Eastside Price Reset
Mortgage rates hit a seven-week low at 6.43%. Eastside city-by-city data added for the first time, with Bellevue down 8% and Redmond down 5% year over year. South Sound continues climbing, led by Bonney Lake (+8.5%) and Puyallup (+4.2%). 20 cities tracked across three regions, plus buyer and seller strategies for the summer market window.

What Each Update Covers
Every monthly update includes median prices for Seattle, King County, the Eastside, Snohomish County, and Pierce County. I break down city-level pricing for South Sound communities like Puyallup, Renton, Kent, Auburn, and Federal Way, North Corridor cities including Lynnwood, Edmonds, Bothell, Shoreline, and Kenmore, and Eastside cities including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Sammamish, Issaquah, and Woodinville. You will find current mortgage rate analysis, inventory trends, month-over-month comparisons, and plain-language takeaways for both buyers and sellers.
