Updated: Sep 15
Updated October 12, 2026. Market source: TrendGraphix Market Synopsis, published October 2026, based on Spokane MLS data for September 2026 Spokane County single-family homes.

Spokane's Market in 2026: Neutral Conditions and Longer Market Times
If you’re wondering “are Spokane homes selling fast right now?”, the answer is yes—but with more nuance than in past years.
Based on the most recent Spokane MLS data, Spokane is in a neutral market with higher inventory, not a neutral one. Buyers have more options than before, but well-priced homes are still selling quickly and close to asking price.
🏠 How Fast Are Homes Selling in Spokane?
According to the latest data:
Average days on market: 42 in September 2026, versus 38 in revised August and 34 a year earlier. This is market time, not the full time through closing.
Months of inventory: 3.5 based on closed sales in September 2026, a neutral market under the report's 3-to-6-month definition.
Pricing context: Review recent comparable sales and the property's asking-price history. The October report uses inconsistent labels for original versus final list-price ratios, so no single ratio is used here.
Buyer demand remains healthy, particularly for homes that are priced correctly and presented well.
💰 What Are Homes Selling For?
Current Spokane pricing trends show stabilization with some short-term pressure:
Average sold price: $501,000 in September 2026, up 1.0% month over month and 4.8% year over year.
Median sold price: $435,000 in September 2026, unchanged from revised August and up 1.2% from September 2025.
Average sold price per square foot: $224 in September 2026, up 0.4% month over month and 1.8% year over year.
Home values have remained relatively stable despite increased inventory, showing that buyer demand continues supporting the market.
