King is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge indicating a seller’s market. Months of supply is at 3.1, which suggests inventory is limited but not extremely tight. Homes are taking a median of 52 days to go under contract, so properties are moving at a moderate pace rather than instantly.
Pricing has eased compared with last year even as conditions favor sellers. The typical home value over the latest rolling three-month period is about $289,800, down from around $350,600 a year earlier. Median list prices have also slipped slightly year over year, while the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 100 percent, indicating that many homes are closing very close to their asking prices.
Inventory and activity patterns help explain the mixed signals. Active listings are down more than 20 percent from a year ago, and new listings over the recent three-month window have fallen by a similar margin, yet homes sold are up slightly year over year, showing steady demand despite fewer options. The share of properties selling above list price is lower than last year, but roughly one in five still closes above asking, which points to selective competition for well-priced homes.
