Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Ballard’s rolling three-month snapshot through May 2026 shows more homes available and steady contract activity. Active listings are up slightly from a year ago, and months of supply has risen to 2.1, higher than the broader Seattle figure of 2.8 months. Even with that extra inventory, homes are still moving, with 215 sales and the same number of pending contracts in this period.
Prices have adjusted modestly over the past year. The typical home value in Ballard is now just under $890,000, down a few percent year over year, while the median list price has inched up slightly compared with last year. This gap suggests sellers are still aiming high, but buyers have gained some bargaining power as supply has increased and closed prices have softened.
Speed and bidding dynamics highlight a market that is active but not overheated. Homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market rising to about 12 days in this rolling window, yet more than a third of properties still close above their list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits around 102%. Those mixed signals can be hard to navigate, so both buyers looking for value and sellers seeking strong offers can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a Ballard agent who knows how to work these conditions to their advantage.
Ballard offers residents a vibrant mix of maritime heritage, diverse dining and arts, abundant parks and waterfront access, and a strong sense of community.
Ballard immediately stands apart from nearby Fremont and Green Lake with its working waterfront, Scandinavian heritage, and self-contained feel. Centered around Market Street and historic Ballard Avenue, the neighborhood blends maritime industry with independent boutiques, craft breweries, and some of the city’s most established restaurants.
Daily life often revolves around the water. Locals watch vessels pass through the Ballard Locks, stroll the beach at Golden Gardens Park, or launch kayaks from Shilshole Bay Marina. The Ballard Farmers Market draws residents from across Seattle every Sunday, reinforcing the neighborhood’s strong sense of community and local food culture.
Tree-lined streets hold a mix of classic bungalows, updated craftsman homes, and modern townhomes, while mid-rise condos cluster closer to downtown Ballard. Families appreciate options like Ballard High School and the nearby resources of Queen Anne and Magnolia. Transit connections toward Downtown and Phinney Ridge support both car-light living and easy commutes.
Because Ballard is well established and inventory can move quickly, success as a buyer or seller often comes down to timing, pricing, and preparation. Agent Pronto can connect you with a knowledgeable local real estate agent who understands Ballard’s micro-markets, helping buyers act confidently and helping sellers position their homes strategically.

“Honestly, it wasn't hard for me and my partner to choose Bill Jordan. After we'd met and had a chance to talk, we knew he was the right choice for us. He is straightforward and honest, and has never condescended or pandered to us like some of the other brokers we'd spoken to. We really valued that. And so glad we chose him! He's been a true asset to us in both our selling and buying journey. Can't recommend him enough.”
“Selling this home was one of the biggest and most emotional transitions of our lives. It wasn’t just a house, it was my childhood home, filled with decades of family memories, and Marv understood that from day one. This sale involved far more than simply listing a property. There were improvements, contractors, inspections, negotiations, title questions, and countless moving pieces leading up to closing. Throughout it all, Marv remained steady, responsive, and focused on solutions whenever challenges arose. What we appreciated most was his ability to balance professionalism with genuine care. During moments when the process felt overwhelming or emotional, he helped us stay focused on the bigger picture and guided us with patience and experience. By the end, we didn’t just feel like we had successfully sold our home, we felt supported through an important life transition. We are deeply grateful for everything Marv did and would recommend him without hesitation.”
“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!”
“Tanner was exactly what anyone should look for in an Agent. Timely, responsive, knowledgeable and most importantly honest. He will never guide homebuyers in the wrong direction. He cares about his clients, and his actions always show it. 10/10 would recommend Tanner to anyone and everyone”
“Edward was great at communication and staying on top of things to ensure quick and smooth transaction. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an honest, trustworthy and experienced real estate agent.”
“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.”
“Joe was everything we needed! Couldnt have asked for a better broker!! Can't say one tiny bad thing! Everything was perfect!!”

“Yuliana, was extremely knowledgable and understanding of what we wanted and what we wanted to spend.
