Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Ballard real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Ballard’s housing supply has been growing, giving buyers a bit more to choose from. Inventory reached 111 homes in February 2026, up about 16 percent from the prior month and nearly 34 percent higher than a year ago. Even with more options, contract activity stayed solid, with 159 pending sales and 191 new listings, showing homes are still moving.
Pricing has been responding to this balance of supply and demand. The typical home value in Ballard is about $890,000, roughly 6.6 percent higher than last year and above the broader Seattle figure of $850,000. List prices have edged down month over month, with the median list price around $875,000 and projected to slip to about $867,500, while the projected typical home value rises toward $910,012.
Homes are taking longer to sell than last year, with a median of 38 days on market, yet that number has been easing recently as it fell about 12 percent from the previous month. Sellers still have an advantage, reflected in a seller’s market gauge of 7, and nearly 19 percent of sales closing above list price with an average sale-to-list ratio just over 1.0. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate shifting inventory or a seller aiming to price correctly, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local Ballard agent who understands these trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
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.

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.
