May 2026 Columbia Valley Real Estate Market Update


Longer Days, More Listings, and Opportunities for Buyers

As the Columbia Valley transitions from spring into summer, the real estate market is beginning to reflect the seasonal shift. The warmer weather has encouraged more homeowners to bring their properties to market, resulting in increased inventory and more choice for buyers. While activity remains steady, the market continues to move toward a more balanced environment compared to the fast-paced conditions we experienced a few years ago.

Market Snapshot – May 2026

  • 48 Residential Properties Sold (down 9.4% from May 2025)

  • 104 New Listings (up 11.8% year-over-year)

  • 283 Active Listings at month-end (up 1.4%)

  • Average Sale Price: $569,102 (down 12.6%)

  • Average Days on Market: 60 days (down 4.2%)

  • Sale-to-List Price Ratio: 95.85%

  • Months of Inventory: 8.09 months

More Listings Mean More Choice

One of the biggest stories this month is the increase in new inventory. With 104 new listings hitting the market, buyers now have more options than they did this time last year. Active inventory climbed to 283 residential properties, giving buyers additional opportunities to compare properties and negotiate with confidence.

The increase in inventory pushed the Months Supply of Inventory (MSI) to 8.09 months, slightly above last year's 7.97 months and above the five-year May average. This signals a market that is becoming more balanced and less competitive than we've seen in recent years.

Prices Adjusting While Demand Remains

The average residential sale price in May came in at $569,102, a decrease of 12.6% compared to May 2025. It's important to remember that monthly average prices can fluctuate significantly depending on the mix of properties that sell in a given month. Luxury home sales, waterfront properties, and recreational properties can all have a large impact on the averages.

Interestingly, year-to-date statistics continue to tell a more stable story, with average sale prices for 2026 running slightly ahead of 2025 overall.

Homes Still Selling at Strong Values

Despite softer average pricing, sellers are still achieving strong results. Properties sold for an average of 95.85% of asking price, nearly identical to last year's performance. This indicates that well-priced homes continue to attract buyers and sell close to list price.

The average time required to sell a home also improved slightly, decreasing from 62 days to 60 days. For sellers, this is encouraging news as serious buyers remain active in the marketplace heading into the busiest season of the year.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers:
The increase in available inventory provides more selection and a bit more breathing room when making purchasing decisions. Buyers have greater opportunities to compare properties, negotiate terms, and find the right fit for their lifestyle and budget.

For Sellers:
Pricing strategy is becoming increasingly important. While buyers remain active, they have more choices than they did a year ago. Properties that are priced appropriately, professionally marketed, and presented well continue to generate strong interest and achieve solid sale-to-list price ratios.

Looking Ahead

As we move into June and the heart of the summer selling season, we expect inventory levels to remain elevated while buyer activity increases as vacation property shoppers and summer visitors arrive in the Columbia Valley. The market remains healthy, but success increasingly depends on understanding current market conditions and adapting strategies accordingly.

Whether you're considering buying your first home, purchasing a recreational property, or preparing to sell, having a local market expert on your side can make all the difference.

If you'd like to discuss your property's value or your real estate goals for 2026, feel free to reach out anytime.

🌷 Columbia Valley Real Estate Market Update – April 2026 🐣

Fresh listings, renewed activity, and a market starting to bloom.

As the snow melts and the Columbia Valley comes back to life, April brought a sense of renewal to the real estate market. Much like spring itself, we’re seeing signs of growth, momentum, and opportunity—balanced with a bit of patience as the market finds its rhythm.

Let’s dig into what’s happening 👇


🌼 Market Snapshot – April 2026

  • 47 Homes Sold ⬆️ (+14.6% year-over-year)

  • 90 New Listings ⬆️ (+1.1%)

  • Average Sale Price: $585,693 ⬆️ (+1.7%)

  • Average Days on Market: 83 days ⬆️ (+2.5%)

  • Inventory: 237 homes ⬇️ (–8.5%)

  • Months of Inventory: 6.69 ⬇️ (–9.1%)


🐰 Spring Momentum is Building

April delivered a strong jump in sales activity, with 47 homes sold—right in line with the 5-year average, but a noticeable improvement over last year.

This tells us buyers are stepping back into the market with confidence as we move into the busy spring season.

At the same time, new listings remained steady, giving buyers more options without flooding the market. That balance is key—and it’s helping keep conditions relatively stable.


🌸 Prices Holding Strong

The average sale price increased to $585,693, showing continued resilience in property values despite broader economic uncertainty.

Even more telling:

  • Homes are selling at 96.01% of list price, indicating sellers are still achieving strong results when priced correctly.

In simple terms—pricing strategy matters more than ever, but well-positioned homes are still performing.


🌱 Inventory Tightening Slightly

We saw inventory drop to 237 homes, down nearly 8.5% year-over-year.

This has pushed months of supply down to 6.69, edging the market closer to balanced territory.

➡️ What does this mean?

  • Not quite a seller’s market

  • Not fully a buyer’s market

  • But trending toward more competition heading into summer


🐣 A Note on Timing

Homes are taking slightly longer to sell (83 days on average), which reflects a more thoughtful buyer pool.

This isn’t a slowdown—it’s a normalization.

Buyers are being selective.
Sellers need to be strategic.
And the deals that come together? They’re strong and well-negotiated.


🌼 What This Means for You

🏡 Sellers:

Spring is your season. With inventory tightening and buyer activity increasing, this is an excellent window to list—especially before competition ramps up further.

🔑 Buyers:

More listings are hitting the market, but competition is quietly building. The best opportunities come from being prepared and acting decisively when the right property appears.


🌷 Looking Ahead

As we move deeper into spring and toward summer, expect:

  • Continued buyer activity

  • Gradual inventory pressure

  • Stable-to-firm pricing trends

The market is waking up—and the next couple of months will be key.


🌟 Thinking of Making a Move This Spring?

Whether you're buying, selling, or just exploring your options, having a clear strategy in this shifting market makes all the difference.

Let’s connect and put a plan together that works for you.
