🌷 March 2026 Real Estate Market Update

Spring Awakens in the Columbia Valley

As the snow begins to melt and longer days return to the Columbia Valley, March brings a sense of renewal—not just in nature, but in the real estate market as well.

After a quieter winter stretch, we’re starting to see early signs of momentum building. Buyers are re-engaging, sellers are preparing to list, and the market is beginning its transition into what is typically one of the busiest seasons of the year.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s happening.


🌼 Market Snapshot – March 2026

March showed signs of early spring activity, with movement picking up compared to the slower winter months.

  • 📉 Sales activity remains measured, but improving

  • 🏡 New listings are starting to increase as sellers prepare for spring

  • 💰 Pricing remains steady with pockets of upward pressure

  • 📦 Inventory levels continue to provide options for buyers

This is a transitional market—not quite the spring rush yet, but clearly heading in that direction.


🌱 What This Means for Buyers

Spring is one of the best times to be a buyer—and right now, you’re getting a bit of a head start.

With inventory beginning to build:

  • You have more choice than earlier in the year

  • Less competition than peak spring months

  • Opportunity to act before demand ramps up

The key right now is preparation. The buyers who are ready in March are often the ones who secure the best opportunities before things heat up.


🌸 What This Means for Sellers

If you’ve been thinking about selling, this is your window to get ahead of the curve.

March offers:

  • Less competition than April/May

  • Serious, motivated buyers already in the market

  • The ability to position your property before the spring surge

Homes that are priced right and presented well are already starting to attract attention.


🌞 Looking Ahead

As we move into April and May, we typically see:

  • Increased listing activity

  • Stronger buyer demand

  • Faster-paced transactions

March is the launchpad—and what you do now can set the tone for your success in the months ahead.


🌿 Final Thoughts

Spring in the Columbia Valley isn’t just a season—it’s a shift in energy.

The market is waking up.

Opportunities are starting to emerge.

And whether you’re buying, selling, or simply watching the market, now is the time to start planning your next move.

💘 February 2026 Real Estate Market Update

Falling in Love with Opportunity in the Columbia Valley

February is often the month we talk about love — and in real estate, it’s about falling in love with the right home, the right timing, and the right strategy.

This February, the Columbia Valley market showed a mix of softer activity and stronger pricing — a reminder that even in a quieter season, there are meaningful opportunities for both buyers and sellers.


📊 Sales Activity: A Quieter Month

There were 15 residential sales in February 2026, down 44.44% from 27 sales in February 2025 .

New listings also dipped, with 43 homes coming to market — a 33.85% decrease year over year .

February is typically a transition month as we move from winter into early spring activity. While sales were below the 5-year February average, this type of slowdown isn’t uncommon before the spring market begins to build momentum.


💰 Prices: A Strong Upward Shift

Here’s where things get interesting.

  • Average List Price: $656,307 (+34.11%)

  • Average Sale Price: $616,453 (+30.02%)

Despite fewer sales, prices climbed significantly compared to last year. This suggests that while fewer homes are trading hands, the properties that are selling are commanding stronger values.

Higher-end activity and well-positioned homes are continuing to attract serious buyers.


⏳ Days on Market: Patience Required

The average days on market increased to 123 days, up 100.30% compared to 61 days last February .

Homes are taking longer to sell, which tells us buyers are being more selective. With interest rates and affordability still front of mind, purchasers are taking their time and negotiating more carefully.


🏠 Inventory & Supply: Moving Toward Balance

  • End-of-month inventory: 192 homes (down 13.51%)

  • Months of Supply: 5.43 (down 14.53%)

A months-of-supply figure around 5–6 months typically signals a balanced market. We’re sitting right in that zone.

That means:

  • Buyers have options.

  • Sellers still have pricing power — but strategy matters.


❤️ What This Means for You

Buyers

If you’ve been waiting for the right time, February offered something attractive:

  • Stable inventory

  • Negotiation room

  • More time to make decisions

You don’t have to rush — but well-priced homes are still moving.

Sellers

Pricing and presentation are everything right now. Strong average sale prices show that buyers will pay — but only when value is clear and expectations align with the market.


🌷 Looking Ahead

As we move toward March and the early signs of spring, activity typically increases. More listings are likely to come online, and buyer energy often picks up with improving weather and renewed confidence.

February reminds us that real estate isn’t just about volume — it’s about strategy.

If you're thinking about making a move this spring, now is the perfect time to plan.
