October 2025 Data

Published November 2025

The holiday season is here — one of the most festive times of the year! The holiday season is not typically a period of high activity; seasonal trends show closed sales slow, and many shift their focus to celebrations and time with loved ones. According to the NWMLS, the median sales price dipped slightly from $650,000 in October 2024 to $640,000 in October 2025.

For buyers, this quieter market offers opportunity. The number of active listings in the NWMLS database is up 27% year-over-year, and inventory has reached 3.02 months — a steady climb since October 2021. With more homes to choose from and less competition, now is an ideal time to explore options and find the right fit at your own pace.

Spring, our busiest season, is just around the corner. Taking advantage of this calm before the rush could make all the difference when the market heats up again.
