Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).

Inventory in Northwest has expanded notably in this rolling three-month view, with active listings nearly doubling compared with a year ago and months of supply rising to 8.6. At the same time, closed sales are up sharply year over year, indicating that more properties are both coming to market and successfully changing hands.

Pricing has softened compared with last year, as the typical home value is down a bit from its year-ago level, and the average sale-to-list price ratio has edged lower to just under 98 percent. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with median days on market reaching 105, a substantial increase from a year earlier that signals buyers have more time and leverage to negotiate.

From a short-term perspective, list prices have dipped modestly in recent months while the number of new listings has cooled slightly, suggesting some sellers may be adjusting expectations in response to higher inventory. With pending sales up compared with last year but down from early summer, both momentum and bargaining power appear more balanced than in the past. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands the current numbers and how to use them to their advantage.

“I’m grateful for Liz’s support throughout the purchase of my new home! I first connected with her on Instagram about a year ago, before I knew exactly when I would be ready to buy. She was patient and supportive of my timeline, stayed in touch, and worked with me from those initial conversations all the way through closing. Her responsiveness, calm demeanor, and encouragement meant a lot during a process that could feel overwhelming. I especially appreciated her willingness to step in, communicate with the builder, and help work through questions and concerns along the way. She has continued to be an excellent resource after closing, and I truly appreciate her ongoing support. Her check-ins helped me feel more at ease during a major life transition. Thank you, Liz, for the time, care, and effort you put into helping me make my new home a reality!”

“Since we were completely new to buying a house, we honestly had no idea what to do or how to do it! Andrea helped us with every step, question and never missed a beat when it came to something we needed. She helped us find our first house, and from the start to finish she was amazing! We could not recommend her enough, we truly are appreciative of everything!”

“After 2 previous agents, contracts with multiple developers, many years tied up with those contracts and nothing to show for it, we contracted with Jeff Lesley. He worked with the developer and negotiated nonrefundable funds when they wanted multiple extensions. Those funds increased as they needed more time. Finally, we closed last week. Thank you Jeff for your persistence and professionalism.”

“AJ McGowan came highly recommended from another home buyer. We were very pleased with his professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail. His support during the buying and building process of a new home was exceptional from the beginning to closing. We highly recommend AJ, 1st Class Coastal Choice and the McGowan Coastal Collective for all your real estate needs.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Debbie with Pinpoint Properties! She helped me sell my home about a year ago, and when it was time for me to buy again, there was absolutely no question about who I wanted by my side. Debbie truly listens to what you want and then goes above and beyond to make it happen. She is knowledgeable, responsive, honest, and genuinely invested in her clients. She doesn’t just help you buy or sell a house — she advocates for you every step of the way and makes you feel like you have someone in your corner. What really sets Debbie apart is how far she is willing to go for her clients. She is even paying for some repairs out of her own pocket to help make sure everything is taken care of. That speaks volumes about the kind of person she is and how much she cares about the people she represents. After having Debbie sell my previous home and now help me purchase my new home, I can honestly say anyone would want Debbie on their side. She has earned my complete trust, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who will genuinely look out for their best interests. Thank you, Debbie, for helping me get into my new home!”

No matter the time of day, Kraig was quick to respond to my questions and guided me through the entire process step by step. Five-star service from start to finish!”

“Merritt was so wonderful to work with on our recent home sale and purchase. She is a highly knowledgeable, punctual and responsive professional who has all of the connections in her industry. After helping us to sell our home quickly, she found us a home before it hit the market. Would not hesitate to recommend Merritt to anyone in search of the best real estate professional.”

“If you're looking for an agent who will get your house sold quickly and for the right price, I can't recommend David enough. I was selling a very old home in Lumberton, NC, and several people told me I would never get the price I was hoping for. David believed otherwise. He had a buyer before we even had the open house, and we ended up selling for a price I was extremely happy with. From start to finish, David was easy to work with. He was always available when I had questions, responded quickly, and kept everything professional and straightforward. As a first-time home seller, I had plenty of inexperienced thoughts, ideas, and moments where I just needed to vent. He never made me feel like I was wasting his time. Instead, he listened, gave honest advice, and did an incredible job translating my concerns into productive conversations with the buyer. He was the perfect middleman throughout the entire process. Selling an older home comes with its own challenges, but David handled everything with confidence and kept the deal moving forward. I truly felt like he was looking out for my best interests every step of the way. 10/10 experience. If you want your house sold quickly, for the right price, and want an agent who communicates, works hard, and gets results, I highly recommend David.”

“Jan couldn't have been more professional, accommodating, and educational. Living 4 hours away from the house for sale, he made time to take care of a few things there which saved me a long day. He was always happy to answer all questions I had about getting the house ready, and especially the sales contract. Highly recommend!”

“Sarah is truly a gem! I could write a whole thesis on what makes her the perfect realtor. She’s kind, knowledgeable and patient. You can tell she’s so well loved in the community and only recommends things and services she would use in her own home or knows have been thoroughly vetted. Patience, she has it by the boat load, we were first time homebuyers and she always answered our questions (at all hours) with grace and kindness. She also stood her ground for us when making sure the house was in the condition we requested before the sellers left. You don’t have to look any further, I promise, she’s your gal. I know if the time comes to sell our home, it’ll be the easiest call to make. Thank you, Sarah, for making the home buying experience so enjoyable and stress-free”

“As a first-time homebuyer, Brenda was absolutely perfect for my family. Coming into the process, I had no idea what to expect or what I was even looking for, but Brenda guided us every step of the way. She patiently answered all my questions, explained confusing documents clearly, and helped me feel confident in my decisions. One moment that stood out was when she helped us negotiate a fair price for our home—her expertise and guidance made a big difference and saved us both time and stress. Brenda is both kind and professional, always approachable and genuinely caring. Thanks to her, we found our dream home without feeling overwhelmed. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to family, friends, or anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable real estate agent. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Grayson was extremely patient with us throughout our home buying process. When we finally found the home we wanted to pursue, he guided us through the process and negotiated a purchase price under what the seller was asking. Highly recommended- if you choose to work with Grayson, you will be working with a highly responsive, professional, Wilmington native that understands how to get the best deal and fit for his clients.”
