Nationally, active listings topped 1.16 million homes for sale in September 2026, according to Realtor.com. More choice sounds like good news for buyers. But in ZIP 98362, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 107 pending sales and just 2.7 months of supply in the three months ending July 31, 2026. Demand there is still real. That means sellers who price carefully can still find buyers, and buyers who wait may find fewer options than they expect.

ZIP 98362: More homes, more sales, steady prices

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 100 homes sold in ZIP 98362 in the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is up 37% from the same months in 2025. New listings rose 13.9% to 131. Yet the median sale price slipped only 1.4%, to $460,000. Prices dipped a little, but sales volume jumped. That is a sign buyers are showing up when homes are priced right.

Homes are taking longer to sell in 98362. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median at 30 days, which is 23 days longer than the same period in 2025. Not every home sold fast. Still, 40.2% went under contract within two weeks of listing. That share fell 7.6 points from last year, but it still means four in ten homes moved quickly.

ZIP 98363: Fast sales, but prices pulled back

ZIP 98363 tells a different story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted a median of 10 days on market there, just 1 day shorter than the same period last year. Half of homes, 50.9%, went under contract within two weeks. That share rose 10.6 points from 2025. Speed held up. But the median sale price fell 6.9%, to $456,000. Fewer homes sold too, down 7.3% to 51. Fast is not the same as easy.

ZIP 98382: The biggest pool, with more time needed

ZIP 98382 had the most activity. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 178 homes sold and 187 pending sales in the three months ending July 31, 2026. Sales rose 15.6% from 2025. But the median sale price fell 12.1%, to $524,950. Homes for sale rose 12.6% to 205. More choice came with a real price adjustment. Sellers there should know that buyers have options now.

In 98382, 35.8% of homes went under contract within two weeks, down 5.9 points from last year, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. The sale-to-list ratio held at 98.8%. Sellers got close to their asking price when they priced it right. But 12.4% of homes sold above list, down 7.1 points. The days of automatic overbidding are less common.

ZIP 98331: Small market, quick sales

ZIP 98331 is a small market. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted just 7 homes sold in the three months ending July 31, 2026. But the median days on market was only 9. And 71.4% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. That is the highest two-week rate in this market. With only 11 homes for sale and 4.8 months of supply, this ZIP moves on its own clock.

ZIP 98305, 98326, and 98381: Very thin markets

ZIP 98305 had just 1 home for sale, 1 new listing, and 1 pending sale, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. ZIP 98326 had 3 homes for sale and 4 new listings. ZIP 98381 had 2 homes for sale, 2 new listings, and 2 pending sales. In 98381, the sale-to-list ratio was 93.3% and no home sold above list. Months of supply there sat at 6.1. These are thin markets. A single sale can shift every number.

Nationally, Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025, and 20.8% of listings saw price cuts in September, the highest share since October 2022. The Federal Housing Finance Agency said U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. The national picture adds pressure, but local supply and demand still set the pace here.

These numbers cover the three months ending July 31, 2026. One street can read differently from the whole ZIP code. If you want to know where your home sits in this picture, text me.
