Kelso real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Kelso real estate market, updated for April 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.

“Working with Mae was honestly one of the best decisions we made during our home-buying process. From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had our best interests at heart. Mae took the time to explain every step, answered all of our questions (no matter how small), and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. What really stood out was her dedication—she went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track and that we felt confident in every decision. We always felt supported and never pressured. We are so grateful for Mae's help in finding our home and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell!”

“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.”
