“All I can say is " what a find " in regards to having the opportunity to meet Jeff Lesley & his team. My wife & I have purchased our fair share of homes over the years & worked with quite a few realtors. But, we must say that this home purchase was the smoothest, easiest, home purchase yet. Jeff & his team of Ashli, Hannah, & Brenna all assisted in making this the most painless process ever. Always there when we had questions, never questioned any moves that we wanted to make in negotiations, our needs were first & foremost in this process. Ashli & Jeff were with us all the way til the end. If we ever make another purchase in the area that Jeff & his team covers we will undoubtbly use their services. Actually, they are looking into a lot for us to purchase. This team comes highly recommened from The McFadden Family. PS - And the family culture that they possess doesnt stop after your settlement, they throw some very cool gatherings! Thank you again Jeff Lesley & team”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026 - Jul 2026).
Inventory in Northwest is relatively tight in this rolling three-month view, with about 25 active listings and 14 new listings entering the market. Contract activity has picked up compared with a year ago, as homes sold are up sharply and pending sales have climbed more than twofold year over year.
Pricing has been fairly stable, with the typical home value near $339,000, down slightly from a year earlier even as the median list price has risen modestly. Sellers are still getting close to what they ask, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 99 percent and no recent sales closing above list price.
Time on market has lengthened considerably compared with last year, with the median home now taking about 75 days to go under contract, yet months of supply has dropped into the roughly 3-month range, supporting the current seller’s market label. With these mixed signals of rising activity, slower sell-through times, and steady pricing, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent to help them understand conditions and navigate their next move.

“Exceptional Realtor and Advocate We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us purchase our new home and sell our townhome. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, attentive, and always available to support us throughout the entire process. She did an outstanding job representing us and was truly our advocate every step of the way. She listened to what was important to us, provided thoughtful guidance, and made sure our interests were always well represented. Her professionalism, knowledge, and commitment gave us tremendous confidence during what can be a very stressful process. We always felt that we had someone in our corner who genuinely cared about helping us find the right home and making the experience as smooth as possible. We are so grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the experience of selling my home with Nichole! From day one, her professionalism and communication made the process completely stress-free.

If you want a knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely caring agent, look no further than her! She is the best there is!”

She made sure every i was dotted and t crossed on every document. I must say that if one needs compassion in a Realtor and skills to sell, call Terri.
