Spokane's housing market and its calendar both stayed active heading into September 2026, from a seller favoring market to a full slate of local events and a few new spots around town. Here's where the market currently stands, what's happening this month, what's new, and a short bucket list to round it out.
What Does the Spokane Housing Market Look Like Right Now?
Spokane's housing market continued to favor sellers heading into September 2026, with homes selling close to asking price and moving quickly when priced right.
- Average sold price: $479,000, up about 2 percent from the prior month.
- Average days on market: 49 days, similar to the prior month.
- List to sale price ratio: 97 percent, similar to the prior month, meaning most homes are selling very close to their asking price.
If you're buying, homes priced right are moving fast and selling close to asking, so waiting for the market to soften likely won't save you money right now.
If you're selling, current conditions favor you, with quick sales and strong offers landing close to asking price, though accurate pricing from the start still matters most.
