Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Rainier Valley currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 27 in seller’s territory. Months of supply has climbed to 4.0 in this rolling three-month view, matching the broader Seattle market. Homes are still moving at a reasonable pace, spending a median of 19 days on the market.
Prices are slightly lower than a year ago, with the typical home value down about 6 percent year over year, while the median list price is up a bit compared with last year. Activity has cooled, as homes sold are down more than 14 percent and pending sales are down over 22 percent year over year in this three-month snapshot, even though new listings have risen by about 9 percent.
Inventory has trended higher over the past year, with active listings up around 4 percent compared with the same rolling period last year and well above many earlier points in the historical series. Even with that additional supply, roughly 21 percent of recent sales still closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 100 percent, signaling sellers can often achieve near asking price while buyers have a bit more room to negotiate than in past peaks. In this shifting environment, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced Rainier Valley agent who understands these trends and can guide their next move.

“Choosing Sell With Wes was hands-down, the best decision we made in our home-selling process. From the first meeting to the final phone call once our home sold, our experience was beyond excellent. We had a difficult situation on our hands and needed someone with vision, expertise, and most importantly, patience. Wes and his team fit our needs perfectly. The team's ability to troubleshoot and problem-solve where there were multiple variables was a real strength of theirs. They made us feel like we were their only clients at times, were hands-on, and found solutions where it sometimes seemed there wasn't one. The team is well-balanced, each member bringing their own expertise. We needed all they had, and they did not disappoint! We are so pleased with the outcome. They really knocked it out of the park. I looked forward to calling them again when we are ready to buy. Thank you, Sell With Wes!”

Best choice to have her as my agent:)”

“Mike provided expert advice for a year leading up to the listing. His understanding of my situation and goals/objectives informed our entire engagement. His advice re: repairs, maintenance, and staging got us off to a good start. He did a great job of market analysis and pricing, leveraging his excellent and very well informed sense of the local market. Weekly check-ins kept me informed of our listing and market statistics and informed timely marketing adjustments. This enabled me to weigh my options and make decisions with confidence. All of his recommendations turned out to be spot on, and we sold the home per our objectives. He and Sierra were also a pleasure to work with. Good, informed, diligent people working on my behalf. What more can I ask for? Highly recommended.”

“Donny was incredibly knowledgeable and quick with communication, no matter how many questions I had. He was on top of things through the loan processing issues that cropped up, and was good-humored - which was helpful with my stress! To be very transparent here, Donny is my ex-husband and I still chose to work with him. I'd ask him for help with the next opportunity as well, so I hope that this goes to show how great he is at what he does!”

“Dyyana was great! She represented us as our buyer’s agent and was very knowledgeable about the Bellevue and surrounding areas. She is also very knowledgeable about investment properties and strategies to maximize value/ROI for investment properties. She was very accommodating and was willing to show us multiple homes in order to find our home. Her negotiation skills were excellent. She was very responsive and attentive to our needs. Very easy to talk with. Would highly recommend! Thank you, Dyyana!”

He was able to get our under contract in only 17 days. We were in the loop throughout the entire process and he always made time to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend his services if you are buying or selling a home! Best real estate in the Yelm area!”

“Doug was great as our buyer's agent! We are stationed overseas and bought a house in preparation of returning back to WA. We were worried about the time difference- but Doug was responsive 24/7- up at 1/2am WA time and attentive to our needs. He sent us numerous updates on homes that were available, and was always attentive to our needs. The closing despite being overseas was seamless and easy. We continue to rely on Doug and his contacts long after the sale - and recommend him without any reservations.”

“We had a wonderful experience working with Kristy! From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, attentive, and supportive throughout our home-buying journey. We had a long list of requirements for our future home, and she always listened carefully, respected our wishes, and never pressured us into making a decision. What we appreciated most was her honesty and attention to detail. She often noticed potential issues with properties that we would have completely overlooked and made sure we were aware of them. We always felt that she genuinely cared about helping us find the right home, not just making a sale. She was also incredibly supportive throughout the mortgage approval process, helping us stay positive during what could have been a stressful time. Thanks to her dedication, professionalism, and kindness, we finally found our home, and we couldn't be happier! We are truly grateful for everything she did for us and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”

“As first-time homebuyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience working with Cole! He was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He made buying our first home feel easy and stress-free, and we always felt supported. We highly recommend him!”
RE/MAX Grant Team Properties
“Kevin Lam of The Mezon Group at Compass helped us purchase an investment property in Tacoma, and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent. He knows the Washington market deeply — not just prices, but what actually makes a property work as a rental. He was patient with us throughout the entire process, never rushed a decision, and answered every question honestly, including when the honest answer wasn’t what we wanted to hear. What set him apart was how much he taught us along the way. He shared practical tips on what to look for when selecting a property for investment — things we wouldn’t have thought to ask about on our own. That guidance shaped the decision we ended up making, and we’re glad for it. Knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in getting us the right property rather than just closing a deal. We strongly recommend Kevin to anyone buying in the area, especially first-time investors.”
Compass The Mezon Group
“We had a great experience working with Elias! He is punctual, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly, and made sure we felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. His attention to detail, honesty, and dedication made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. We truly appreciated their patience, excellent communication, and willingness to go above and beyond to help us. I highly recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“Tracy made my first time home buying experience amazing. Responded to all my questions at all times of the day no matter how many I asked. Helped me navigate through the whole process from beginning to end.”
TD Home Team, Inc
“Working with Mallory and her team has been an absolute game-changer for us. Having previously worked with her when we bought our last home, it was wonderful to partner with her again for this next chapter. ?Because this was our first time navigating the seller’s side of the market, we had a lot of questions. Mallory’s team was phenomenal, keeping us organized and supported every step of the way. At the same time, having that established, trusted rapport made diving back into the buyer process seamless and stress-free. ?Mallory truly goes above and beyond for her clients. If you are looking for an expert who is knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely cares about your real estate journey, look no further!”
Windermere Bellevue
“Rebecca and Mike went above and beyond for me throughout the entire process of selling my home. From the very beginning, Rebecca listened to my goals, my timeline, and all of my concerns. She was always checking in, making sure I was okay, informed, and never felt like I was going through this alone. Selling a home while navigating major life changes as a single mom was scary, stressful, and emotional at times. I honestly don’t think I could have made it through this process as smoothly as I did without Rebecca and Mike by my side. They were patient, supportive, knowledgeable, and truly cared about me—not just the sale of my home. They are genuinely good people, and I feel incredibly lucky to have had them in my corner. Everyone needs a Mike and Rebecca written into their story somehow. I will forever be grateful that they were part of mine. If you’re looking for real estate agents who will truly go above and beyond and treat you like a person rather than just a client, I cannot recommend Rebecca and Mike enough!”
Keller Williams Keller Wiliams Realty
“We just bought our first home with Cory, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. From the very beginning, Cory was incredibly reliable, responsive, and supportive. He always made us feel like our questions and concerns mattered, and he responded with genuine care and compassion throughout the entire process. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but Cory made us feel like we had someone in our corner every step of the way. He never made us feel like just another client. He felt more like a reliable friend who genuinely wanted the best for us. We are so grateful for his patience, guidance, and kindness in helping us find and purchase our home. We would absolutely recommend Cory to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“We had such a great experience working with Liliana! She did an amazing job helping us find the right home for us. From the very beginning she was always communicative and flexible with our schedule. She made the whole home-buying process feel much less stressful and was there to answer our questions, explain things, and guide us every step of the way. We truly appreciate all the time and dedication she put into helping us find our home. We couldn’t have done it without her.”
