Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Esther Short real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Over the past year, typical home values in Esther Short have climbed about 23.94 percent, showing solid longer-term price growth. That contrasts with Vancouver as a whole, where typical values rose 5.09 percent year over year. Even with that strength, Esther Short’s current typical home value of about $330,000 sits well below Vancouver’s $485,000, giving this neighborhood a lower entry point than the broader city.
Looking at the latest month of February 2026, list prices and pace are shifting. The median list price sits around $449,800, yet prices have moved down sharply month over month, while median days on market dropped to about 32 days, falling more than 70 percent from last year, a sign that homes coming to market are finding buyers more quickly than before. Inventory stands at 16 homes, down compared with last year but up 14.29 percent from the prior month, and about one-third of recent sales closed above the asking price, with homes selling for just over 101 percent of list on average.
Near-term projections point to some cooling in price levels as typical values are expected to ease toward roughly $168,750 next month, with a projected median list price near $338,500 and inventory edging up to 17 homes. With new listings holding steady year over year and pending sales down about 57.14 percent, Esther Short is currently described as a neutral market, balancing conditions for both sides of a transaction. In this setting, buyers and sellers can both benefit from a skilled local guide, and Agent Pronto can help them connect with the right real estate agent for their needs.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“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”
“Mae was fantastic and extremely helpful. As a first time home buyer I was not familiar with all the steps required or the things to look out for. I had told Mae early on in the home search that I did not want to live in an HOA. Well I put down an offer on a house that I really liked that wasn't disclosed that it was in an HOA and luckily Mae caught it and informed me after being very close to an agreement and , which ended up bean a deal breaker. So I really appreciated the transparency and honesty. Also Mae was very responsive and communitve, replying to my questions even at 9 or 10 pm. Overall I'm very happy with how the home buying process went.”

“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.”
