Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Kelso real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Kelso is seeing relatively lean inventory, with 33 homes on the market and only 1.5 months of supply, signaling limited options for buyers. Buyer activity is steady, as 22 homes are under contract, though new listings are down 22.73% year over year to just 17, which keeps the flow of fresh choices constrained.
Prices are adjusting to this slowdown in new listings and contract flow, with the median list price at $365,000 and the typical home value at $352,500. Compared with a month ago, typical values have slipped 11.21% and list prices are down 10.98%, and projections for April show both typical values and list prices easing further to about $330,250 and $342,500 respectively.
Seller expectations are also shifting, as 42.42% of listings have had a price drop and homes are taking longer to move, with a median of 101 days on market, up sharply from last year. Even so, Kelso is still labeled a seller’s market with a market gauge of 15, and roughly 22.73% of homes are selling above list with an average sale-to-list ratio of 0.99. Compared with Cowlitz County overall, where typical values are higher at $420,000 and projected at $415,000, Kelso offers a relatively more affordable price point. Both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Kelso offers residents a welcoming, family-friendly community with easy access to outdoor recreation, practical amenities, and a strong, community-minded spirit.
Kelso offers small city convenience with quick access to both the Cowlitz County countryside and regional hubs like Longview. Located at the junction of I‑5 and State Route 4, it provides straightforward commuting to Vancouver and Portland, while maintaining an easygoing pace of life along the Coweeman and Cowlitz rivers.
Daily needs are simple to handle, with shopping, medical services, and schools close at hand. Families appreciate the Kelso School District and its central Kelso High School, as well as community resources like the Kelso Public Library at the Three Rivers Mall area. Outdoor time is part of everyday living, from youth sports at Tam O’Shanter Park to boat launches on the Cowlitz. Local eateries and coffee spots dot the Pacific Avenue and Allen Street corridors, keeping errands and meetups close to home.
Kelso’s practicality shows in its transportation options, including Kelso‑Longview Station for Amtrak rail service. Whether you are comparing neighborhoods with river access, looking for a quieter street near schools, or weighing condo living near transit, a local agent can clarify real pricing trends and area-by-area differences. With the right Kelso specialist through Agent Pronto, buyers and sellers can move confidently, cut down on surprises, and reduce the stress of their next move.

“This is the second house Tracy has sold for me. I trusted her judgment and professional expertise to help me with selling my property. She's been a great person to work with and she is very warm and caring about my listing. I would recommend her to any person who wants to sell their home in Washington.”
“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!”
