Market insights for September 2026
📊 Inventory Levels Off at a 13-Year High
Active listings edged up to 1,309 in September (+6 from August), still the most homes on the market in the Tri-Cities since September 2013. Inventory has risen in all nine months of 2026 and sits 171 listings (+15.0%) above September 2025, but the small monthly gain suggests the year-long climb is finally leveling off.
💰 Sales Cool After Summer
September closed 315 homes, down 29 from August and 52 below September 2025 (367). Year to date, 2,835 homes have sold — still 103 ahead of the same stretch of 2025 (+3.8%), though that lead has narrowed from 155 a month ago as the summer pace eases.
🏠 Prices Bounce Back
Median sold price rose to $435.0K (+$6.1K), and average price jumped to $490.6K (+$20.4K). Both are back above September 2025 — median up 2.4%, average up 4.2% — reversing August's dip and showing that well-priced homes still command solid values despite the larger inventory.
💵 Pending Pipeline Drops Sharply
Pending listings fell to 291 in September (-64 from August, -18.0%), the lowest count of 2026 and 22.4% behind September 2025's 375. A thinner pipeline this early in the fall points to slower closings in October and November.
⏳ Homes Taking Longer to Sell
Median days on market rose to 31 from August's 27, and average DOM climbed to 55 days from 45. At roughly 4.2 months of supply — up from 3.1 a year ago — the market continues its shift toward balance, giving buyers more time and more room to negotiate.
🔮 Heading Into Winter
Buyers have the most choice in over a decade and homes are taking longer to sell, yet September's price rebound shows demand for well-priced homes remains steady. Expect inventory to begin its seasonal decline in the coming months and closings to slow in line with the lighter pending pipeline, with prices likely staying close to current levels.
