🌷 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.
