Are Spokane Homes Selling Fast in 2026?

Spokane’s Market in 2026: Balanced but Competitive

If you’re wondering “are Spokane homes selling fast right now?”, the answer depends on what side of the market you’re on. Based on the most recent housing data from the Spokane MLS, Spokane’s real estate market is neutral — meaning neither buyers nor sellers hold a strong advantage. While homes aren’t flying off the market at the record pace we saw in past years, they’re selling at a slower rate with moderate competition. I’m writing this breakdown as a Spokane real estate agent to help local buyers and sellers understand what’s really happening in our market and what it means for your next move. The following market stats are based on Spokane County as a whole, as this provides a better, wider view of our local area.

🏠 How Fast Are Homes Selling in Spokane?

According to the latest data:

• Average Days on Market: 46 days (up 21.1%)

• Months of Inventory: 3.3 months, up 37.9% year-over-year

• Sold-to-List Price Ratio: 96%, showing sellers are negotiating about 4% off asking

• Absorption Rate: 29.9%, which still falls within a neutral market range (between 16.7%–33.3%)

So while Spokane homes are taking a little longer to sell than they did during the ultra-competitive years, listings are still moving at a normal rate when priced right and well-presented.

💰 What Are Homes Selling For?

Prices in Spokane have shown modest but steady resilience:

• Average Sold Price: $464,000 (Down 8.1% from last year)

• Median Sold Price: $418,000 (Down 2.3% from last year)

• Average Price per Sq. Ft.: $208, down 2.8% year-over-year

Even though overall prices dipped slightly compared to the previous month, this signals a healthy correction rather than a decline. With inventory increasing and buyers having more choices, the market is finding a new balance after several years of sharp growth.

🏡 How Can Homes Sell Faster in Spokane (When Priced Right)

In today’s market, Spokane homes that are:

• Well-priced from the start

• Professionally marketed with strong photography

• Move-in ready or updated

…are still attracting offers relatively quickly. Buyers are watching closely, but they’re not rushing into overpriced listings — so strategic pricing is everything.

🧭 What a Neutral Market Means for You

A “neutral” market (3–6 months of inventory) gives both sides room to negotiate:

• Sellers: Can still expect solid offers if their home is priced competitively and marketed well.

• Buyers: Have more inventory to choose from and can take their time without missing out immediately.

If you’ve been waiting for the market to cool enough to buy, now’s a great time — and if you’re selling, you’re still in a strong position compared to pre-pandemic norms.

🏗️ What’s Next for Spokane Real Estate?

Based on six-month trends:

• The average price trend remains neutral

• The median price trend is also neutral

• The average for-sale price is slightly appreciating, meaning sellers are adjusting to meet current buyer demand

In other words, Spokane’s housing market is stable — not crashing, not soaring, just leveling out after years of volatility. For long-term homeowners, that’s a sign of sustainability and predictability returning to the market.
