📈 June 2025 Market Trends: What Inventory, DOM & Pricing Power Tell Us

As we hit mid-year, the Seattle-area housing market is moving at a steady clip—but with more balance than we've seen in recent summers. Sellers are still in a strong position, but buyers are seeing more opportunity with slightly more inventory and fewer bidding wars.

Let’s unpack three key trends—Inventory, Days on Market, and List-to-Sale Price Ratios—to get a better understanding of where things stand.

🏘️ Inventory: Rising Seasonally, But Still Below Balanced

• King County: 3.3 months
  
  

• Snohomish County: 2.4 months
  
  

Inventory is growing, as we expect in spring and summer, and these are the highest levels in over 3 years. But they’re still well below the 5–6 months considered a “balanced” market.

📌 This means: Sellers still hold an advantage, but buyers have more selection than they've had in a while.

⏱️ Days on Market: Still Moving Quickly

• King County: 22 days
  
  

• Snohomish County: 20 days
  
  

The pace is quick—especially compared to the 30+ day averages we saw in fall and winter. A well-priced home is typically under contract in the first 2–3 weeks.

📌 For sellers: getting the price and presentation right in week one is key.
📌 For buyers: speed and preparation still matter—especially in desirable neighborhoods.

💰 List-to-Sale Price Ratios: Slight Dip, Still Strong

• King County: 99.0% of original list
  
  

• Snohomish County: 99.1% of original list
  
  

We’re just shy of full-price offers on average—reflecting slightly less competition but continued pricing power for sellers. Homes are rarely going over asking, but they’re still landing close.

📌 The frenzy of 2021–2022 may be gone, but this is still a confident market.

🧭 What It All Means

The market has shifted out of overdrive and into a healthy, active gear. For the first time in years, buyers and sellers both have good reasons to act:

• Buyers benefit from more options, slightly better negotiating leverage, and the chance to refinance if rates drop later.
  
  

• Sellers who prep and price correctly are still seeing strong showings and full-price offers—often in under three weeks.
