Primary market listings rose faster than sales this summer
The one fact that changes what you should do: listings are growing faster than sales. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 2,149 new listings across the Primary market in the three months ending July 31, 2026, up 23.1% from a year ago. Homes sold rose 20.8% in the same period. More supply than demand means buyers have choices, and sellers have more competition.
Listings grew faster than sales. That is the short version. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows inventory across the Primary market up 16.3%, while Realtor.com reported national active listings up just 6.3% over the same stretch. Our market is adding supply at nearly four times the national pace.
Rates crossed 7% again, and that matters for pricing
Freddie Mac put the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.28% as of October 1, 2026. The 15-year averaged 6.60%. Realtor.com noted rates crossed 7% in late September for the first time since January 2025. When rates rise, buyers qualify for less. That puts more pressure on list prices.
Nationally, the National Association of Realtors reported 4.9 months of supply at the current sales pace, the highest level in over ten years. Our Primary market sits below that in most ZIP codes, but the gap is narrowing.

Quick contracts are still happening, but unevenly
The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 44.4% of homes in 35758 went under contract within two weeks of listing. In 35759, that share was 17.2%. Pricing and condition still drive speed, even in a market with more inventory.

Where prices moved up, and where they dipped
Not every ZIP saw prices rise. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median sale price in 35758 fell 5.3% year over year, to $394,900. In 35759 it fell 3.6%, to $318,000.

Days on market: some ZIP codes are slower
35773 had a median of 91 days on market, up 42 days from a year ago, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is a real shift. 35613 added 21 days, reaching 69 days. On the other end, 35824 sat at just 37 days, 7 days shorter than last year. More listings mean buyers take longer to decide in some areas.

What this means for sellers
More competition is real. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 2,194 homes for sale across the Primary market, up 16.3%. That is a bigger pool for buyers to shop. Homes priced well are still selling. The market-wide sale-to-list ratio stayed above 98% in every ZIP code. But sellers who price too high are waiting longer.
Redfin reported that 24.3% of sellers in the Seattle area cut their prices, above the national average, as of September 30, 2026. That is a wider trend worth watching here too.
- The Primary market added more listings than it added sales in the three months ending July 31, 2026. Sales are still up 20.8% year over year per the Real Estate Data Aggregator, so demand is real.
- But with inventory up 16.3% and rates at 7.28% per Freddie Mac, pricing your home carefully matters more than it did a year ago.
