The one fact that changes what you should do right now: demand is still real here. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 97 homes sold in ZIP 98362 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 18.3% from the same period a year ago. Sales are growing even as CNBC reported the average 30-year mortgage rate hit 7.49% on October 7, 2026. Buyers are still moving. They are just moving more carefully.

Pending sales tell the same story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 107 pending sales in ZIP 98362 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 23% from a year before. Pending sales are homes already under contract. They show what is coming next. That pipeline is growing.

Homes are taking a little longer. That is not the whole story.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows homes in ZIP 98362 sat on the market a median of 31 days. That is 16 days longer than the same period a year ago. Not every home sold fast. But sellers still got close to what they asked. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the average sale price at 98.1% of list price in ZIP 98362, up 0.4 points from a year ago. Pricing carefully still pays off.

The median sale price in ZIP 98362 dipped a little. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put it at $469,000 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 1.3% from a year ago. A small dip, not a drop. Prices are holding close.

Rates are high nationally. Local buyers are still showing up.

CNBC reported the average 30-year mortgage rate rose to 7.49% as of October 7, 2026. That is a real cost. CNBC also reported that mortgage applications to buy a home were 15% lower than the same week one year ago. Nationally, buyers are pulling back. Here in ZIP 98362, they are not. Sales rose 18.3% and pending sales rose 23%, both from the Real Estate Data Aggregator. This market is not following the national script.

Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings nationally had price cuts in September 2026, the highest share since October 2022. That is a national number. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows ZIP 98362 had 2.9 months of supply, down 0.2 months from a year ago. Less supply pressure here than you might expect from the national headlines.

What this means if you own a home here

More homes are selling. Buyers are still active. But homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago in some ZIP codes. Price carefully and you can still get close to your asking price. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows sellers in ZIP 98362 got 98.1% of list price on average. That leaves little room for overpricing.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Local prices here dipped slightly in some ZIP codes. The national trend and your street can read very differently.
