Zenith real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Zenith real estate market, updated for May 2026. *

Inventory in Zenith is limited, with just 6 homes for sale in March 2026, yet contract activity stayed close behind at 11 pending sales and 12 new listings. With inventory up 50% from the prior month but still down 25% from a year ago, buyers are seeing only a modest increase in options.

Pricing is adjusting quickly, as the typical home value has dropped to about $417,500, down 22.69% year over year and 33.31% from the prior month. At the same time, sellers are asking more on new listings, with the median list price rising to roughly $514,975, up 33.77% month over month.

Homes are taking about 30 days to go under contract, which is nearly 19% faster than last month but far slower than a year ago, and about 41.67% of recent sales closed above the list price with an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.996. Even with these mixed signals, Zenith is still classified as a Seller's Market, while nearby Des Moines shows a higher typical home value of around $554,500. Looking ahead to April 2026, projections point to a typical home value near $313,250, a median list price around $579,975, and inventory edging up to 7 homes. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local expert familiar with Zenith’s dynamics.

Learn more about what Zenith has to offer.

Zenith offers residents a welcoming, well-rounded community with green spaces, family-friendly amenities, and convenient access to shops, schools, and transit.

Zenith in Des Moines offers practical waterfront living with quick access to Seattle and Tacoma, close to both I‑5 and Pacific Highway. Many homes sit on quiet residential streets near the shoreline, with views across Puget Sound and convenient routes to nearby Seattle and Tacoma.

Daily life in Zenith centers on the water and nearby parks. Residents are minutes from Saltwater State Park, a popular spot for beach walks, picnics, and scuba diving. The neighborhood sits just south of downtown Des Moines, with access to the marina, dining, and seasonal events along the waterfront. Families appreciate proximity to Highline Public Schools campuses, including Mount Rainier High School, as well as local resources like the Des Moines Library.

Commuters benefit from the short drive to SeaTac and Burien, plus regional transit connections along Highway 99 and the nearby light rail corridor. Everyday errands are straightforward, with shopping and services in central Des Moines and adjacent neighborhoods such as Normandy Park.

Because Zenith has varied housing stock, changing shoreline regulations, and nuanced micro‑markets, local guidance matters. A knowledgeable real estate agent who understands Zenith’s streets, school options, and commuter patterns can help you time your sale, evaluate view properties, and navigate inspections with less stress. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the right local expert so your move in Zenith feels simpler and more confident.

“Lian was an amazing realtor! What a great find! We are moving to Seattle from Baltimore, and we were able to easily connect with Lian and trusted him from the start. All of our showings had to be on FaceTime, and Lian did a wonderful job showing us everything he could from 3,000 miles away! We fell in love with a house, he helped us through the closing process, and we had confidence in him every step of the way. We will absolutely use Lian again if we move, but since he helped us find such a perfect house, we hopefully won't need to! I would absolutely recommend Lian to anyone!”

“My daughter and I enlisted Lindsay Jackman due to a strong local referral. Throughout the process of preparing the house for sale, strategizing, listing, and conversations with potential buyers; Lindsay was on it!! She handled every phase of the sale perfectly! We are very happy and satisfied with the outcome of the sale, and with our opportunity to work with a true professional in the Tacoma/Seattle area. I couldn't recommend Lindsay more highly!

“We just celebrated our first month since closing on our condo in Point Ruston, WA. Nikki was instrumental and amazing to work with throughout the entire purchase process - and somehow made the whole experience smooth and seamless. She was quick to respond to our many emails/texts and always answered our calls. Additionally, she made it a priority to give us frequent updates while working through the underwriting process and really worked hard to get us answers quickly to the many questions we had as they came up. I highly recommend Nikki for anyone wanting to work with a realtor who is professional, clearly cares about representing her clients, and will go above and beyond to help them through the entire home buying process.”

“Going into first time home buying you are invetiably going to hear from others who have had poor experiences, felt swindled, or never had a full grasp on the process. I of course had my reservations and weariness going into everything. Jim turned all of those things around within a matter of a few meetings/viewings. What I appreciated most is that he allowed me to set the tone of the process. I was trying to see as many places as I could as quick as possibly outside of working full time. I was in somewhat of a time crunch with a lease coming up soon. He was always available and was never pushy or felt false. Another thing I really appreciated was that he was also available after everything was said and done. I still had some questions about a handful of things and he would call me right away to provide advice. Highly recommend regardless of your stage in the process or timeline.”
