Seattle Housing Market Report – June 2026

What does the June 2026 Seattle housing market update show?

The June 2026 Seattle housing market update shows inventory rising 30-75% year over year across nearly every city and property type in King and Snohomish counties, while well-priced single-family homes in core areas still sell in about a week.

Prices fell in most cities, with two notable exceptions -Edmonds (+19.7%) and Kirkland (+1.6%) -and condos continue to significantly underperform houses on days on market and inventory. This is not one housing market; it’s dozens of small markets moving on their own timelines, and this report breaks down every one we track.

Every month I pull the InfoSparks data for four areas across King and Snohomish counties and record what actually happened, not what the headlines say happened. June’s numbers tell a more textured story than “the market is slowing down” -some cities are slowing sharply, a couple are heating up, and the difference between neighboring cities is often bigger than the difference between this year and last. Below is the full breakdown, area by area.

Shoreline, Kenmore, Lynnwood & Edmonds -the north corridor pulls apart

These four cities along the north-of-Seattle commuter corridor used to move together more consistently than they did in June. Edmonds posted the biggest price gain in our entire report, up 19.7% to a median of $1.1375 million, while Lynnwood fell 12.1% to $810,000 and Kenmore fell 8.3% to $1.1 million. Shoreline itself held roughly steady, down 6.3% to $825,000. Days on market stayed at a brisk 6 days in Shoreline, Kenmore, and Edmonds, but jumped 42.9% to 10 days in Lynnwood. Months of supply rose across the board -Kenmore up 46.4%, Lynnwood up 78.9%, Shoreline up 15% -meaning buyers in this corridor have more room to negotiate than they’ve had in years, even in the cities where price held up.

Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond & Sammamish -the East Side recalibrates

The East Side saw the sharpest single price drop anywhere in the region: Bellevue fell 15.8% to $1.7 million. Redmond fell 6.7% and Sammamish fell 5.7%. Kirkland was the outlier, up 1.6% to $1.575 million, with closed sales rising 20% while every other East Side city saw closings decline. Every East Side city we track crossed into 4-to-4.7 months of supply, up 50-74% year over year -a dramatic shift from what was, a year and a half ago, one of the tightest seller’s markets in the entire region. Dollar volume tells the same story: Bellevue’s closed dollar volume fell 27%, Redmond’s fell nearly 30%, while Kirkland’s rose over 40%.

Seattle, Renton, King County & Snohomish County -the regional picture

Zooming out to the regional level, median prices fell in Seattle (-5.8% to $999,000), King County overall (-4.1% to $995,000), and Renton (-6.6% to $775,000), while Snohomish County posted the smallest decline at -3.9% to $768,750. The standout number in this section of the report is Renton’s days on market, which jumped 116.7% year over year -from 6 days to 13 -the single largest shift of any metric anywhere in this month’s data. Snohomish County was also the only area in this regional comparison with rising pending sales, up 20.8%, while Seattle, King County, and Renton all saw pending sales decline. Months of supply rose across the board here too: Seattle up 16%, Renton up 43.5%, King County up nearly 31%.

Condos across Seattle, Bellevue, King & Snohomish -the buyer’s market that’s been building

Condos remain the most buyer-favorable corner of our entire market. Seattle condo prices fell 3.6% to just under $495,000, Bellevue fell 4.5%, King County fell almost 5%, and Snohomish County condos posted the steepest condo decline anywhere at -16.3%. Days on market for Seattle and Bellevue condos sits at 20-25 days, more than triple the pace of single-family homes in the same cities, and months of supply is running 6.1 to 6.9 across the board -more than double what houses are carrying. This divergence between condos and houses has been building for well over a year; June’s numbers simply confirm it’s still widening rather than correcting.

The macro theme tying it together

Mortgage rates have hovered around 6.44% as of June, according to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey, and inventory has risen sharply nearly everywhere we track. But that doesn’t mean the market has flipped uniformly to favor buyers. Well-priced single-family homes in core areas -Shoreline, Seattle proper, Edmonds -are still moving in about a week. The real divide this month isn’t buyers versus sellers regionwide; it’s between property types and specific cities. You can track how Seattle compares nationally through NWMLS market data, and see broader housing research from NAR.

What this means for you, area by area

If you’re in Edmonds or Kirkland, you’re in one of the strongest positions in the entire region right now. If you’re in Bellevue or Renton, expect the most buyer negotiating room you’ve seen in years -plan your pricing and timeline accordingly. If you’re in Snohomish County, rising demand suggests this is a reasonable time to have a listing conversation. And if you own or are considering a condo anywhere in King or Snohomish counties, expect a longer runway than a house would need, with real room to negotiate as a buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Seattle housing market cooling down in 2026?

Partially. Inventory is up 30-75% year over year across most cities and property types, and prices fell in most of the areas we track. But well-priced single-family homes in core areas like Seattle proper, Shoreline, and Edmonds are still selling in about a week, so it’s more accurate to describe this as an uneven cooldown than a broad correction.

Which Seattle-area cities had rising home prices in June 2026?

Edmonds (+19.7%) and Kirkland (+1.6%) were the only two cities in our entire report with rising median prices in June 2026. Every other city we track -including Bellevue, Seattle, Renton, and Lynnwood -saw prices decline year over year.

Is it a buyer’s market or seller’s market in Seattle right now?

It depends heavily on the city and property type. Condos across the region and single-family homes in Bellevue and Renton have shifted meaningfully toward buyers. Edmonds, Kirkland, and Snohomish County still favor sellers. There is no single answer for “the Seattle market” as a whole this month.

How long does it take to sell a home in the Seattle area in 2026?

It varies widely by city. Seattle, Shoreline, Kenmore, and Edmonds homes are selling in a median of 6-7 days. Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Sammamish are running 11-13 days. Renton has seen the sharpest increase, now at 13 days, up from 6 a year ago. Condos across the region typically take 20-25 days.

Where is buyer demand strongest in the Seattle area right now?

Snohomish County stands out with pending sales up 20.8% year over year, the only area in our regional report with rising demand. Kirkland also posted a 20% increase in closed sales, the strongest of any East Side city.
