Real estate, GH & UP Buy Box

The one number that changes what you should do: inventory is up. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted homes for sale in 98466 up 28.6% from a year ago. That means more competition for sellers right now.

But demand has not gone away. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 95 pending sales in 98466 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 2.2% from the same months of 2025. Buyers are still moving.

Nationally, Realtor.com reported active listings topped 1.16 million homes for sale in September 2026. That is the same shift showing up here at home.

Rates are adding pressure too. CNBC reported the average 30-year fixed rate rose to 7.49% as of October 7, 2026. That slows some buyers, but the local pending numbers say others are pushing through.

How each ZIP code looked

The numbers below cover the three months ending August 31, 2026. Each ZIP tells a slightly different story.

98466: More homes, prices still climbing

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 87 homes sold in 98466 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 5.4% from a year ago. Still, the median sale price rose 10.1% to $699,000.

Homes for sale rose 28.6% and new listings rose 19.1%. More choices for buyers. More competition for sellers.

Nearly 1 in 3 homes still sold above list price. And the average sale came in at exactly 100% of list, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Sellers are not giving much away.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator also shows 44.2% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. That is down 13.9 points from a year ago. So the fastest sales slowed a little, but nearly half still moved in two weeks or less.

98467: The fastest market in the group

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 48 homes sold in 98467 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 4.3% from a year ago.

The median sale price dipped 8.8% to $686,250. That is the one honest admission here: prices did pull back in this ZIP.

But 98467 is the fastest ZIP in this market. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median days on market at just 9 days. And 48.2% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 36 homes sold in 98329 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 35.7% from a year ago. Fewer sales, and homes are taking longer.

The median days on market hit 31 days, up 19 days from the same period in 2025. That is the longest wait of any ZIP here.

Even so, the median sale price rose 14.4% to $675,000. That is the strongest price gain in this market. Fewer homes sold, but the ones that did sold well.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator also shows the share of homes that sold above list price rose 5.4 points to 28.4%. That is the only ZIP where that share went up.

What the wider picture says

Rates are not helping buyers right now. CNBC reported the average 30-year fixed rate climbed to 7.49% as of October 7, 2026. That is up from 7.30% just the week before, also reported by CNBC.

Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings nationally had a price cut in September 2026. That is the highest share since October 2022. Pricing carefully matters more now.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Local prices in most of these ZIPs beat that national number.
