So, what’s happening in the Spokane real‑estate ring this week? Let’s break it down:
Price & Value
-
In Spokane County, the median sale price is about $429,000, which is down ~1.4% year‑over‑year.
-
For the city proper (Spokane, WA), typical home values are around $393,670, down ~0.5% over the past year.
-
The listing side: the median listing price in the county sits near $499,950 (September 2025).
Translation: Prices are mostly flat with mild softening. No dramatic plunge, but sellers can’t assume upward momentum will carry them. Buyers: steadier terrain, not a bargain bonanza yet.
Inventory & Days on Market
-
Median days on market in Spokane County: ~30 days (Redfin data) for September.
-
Another data point from Realtor.com: ~45 days median DOM in September County‑wide.
-
Inventory is creeping upward according to commentary: more choices showing up, which shifts a little power back toward buyers.
Bottom line: Properties are still moving, but they’re taking a bit longer compared to the red‑hot pace of earlier years. These shifts matter—especially for pricing strategy and negotiation timing.
Buyer / Seller Trends
-
We’re in a balanced to slight‑buyer‑leaning market. Why? Because:
-
Price growth is minimal or slightly negative.
-
Days on market are moderate—not ultra‑fast.
-
Inventory is loosening a bit.
-
-
For sellers: Clean, staged, priced right homes still win. Those that lean on “list high and see what happens” are likely to linger.
-
For buyers: This is a moment to act smart — you may have more room to negotiate, especially if you find something that’s been on the market a bit. Also: mid‑October window historically brings more listings + less competition.
