Hillcrest’s rolling three-month data through July 2026 shows home values moving higher than a year ago. The typical home value is up nearly 20% year over year, while the median list price has inched up only slightly, suggesting sellers are pricing close to current demand. Compared with the broader Washington market, Hillcrest’s typical values remain far lower, offering a more affordable option within the city.
Looking at activity, homes sold in the latest three-month window are up roughly one‑third from a year earlier, even as active listings have dipped slightly. Months of supply has fallen sharply over the past year to about 5.6 months, and the market gauge still categorizes Hillcrest as a seller’s market, though conditions are more balanced than in some past years.
Current pace indicators show buyers have more time to decide, with a median of 45 days on market, yet some listings still move quickly, with about 16% going off the market within two weeks. Only around 8% of homes are selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits near 96%, so negotiation remains part of most deals. With pending sales down year over year, both pricing strategy and offer terms matter. Whether you are a buyer trying to understand value or a seller aiming to stand out, Agent Pronto can connect you with a Hillcrest agent who knows how to navigate these trends.
