December 2025 Data
Published January 2026
As we look back on 2025, we reflect on the changes that shaped the real estate market.
The NWMLS reports that 5010 homes sold in December 2025, compared to 4812 sold in December 2024 — an increase of approximately 4.1% year over year.
Inventory also increased, with 2.3 months of supply in December 2025, compared to 2.0 months in December 2024, indicating a gradual shift toward a more balanced market.
Median sales prices softened slightly across all NWMLS areas, with December 2025 coming in at $612,250, compared to $623,500 in December 2024. Pierce County remained completely flat, holding steady at a $550,000 median sales price in both 2024 and 2025.
Looking ahead, we expect 2026 to be a true win-win-win:
- Sellers should benefit from more buyers actively shopping
- Buyers can expect stable pricing and increasing inventory
- Affordability is likely to improve as interest rates ease and prices stabilize
Overall, the market appears to be shifting toward a healthier, more sustainable balance for all parties involved.
