June 2025 Eastside Market Update

Increased inventory continues to put downward pressure on pricing, leading to a 4% drop month-over-month. In other words, the prices we saw just 2 to 4 months ago are no longer achievable in today’s market. We’re also down 4% year-over-year—though that sounds more dramatic than it likely is.

For context: 2024 pricing peaked in May (a bit later than usual), whereas 2025 pricing peaked in March (a bit early). May 2025 prices are roughly in line with June 2024, suggesting a seasonal softening. And yes, it’s very likely we’ll see prices dip again next month.

The big question now: will inventory stabilize or continue to climb? We’ve had a notable spike in new listings, which is a welcome shift! More inventory means more choice for buyers—and it also introduces new strategy considerations for sellers.

The old “stick a sign in the yard and it’ll sell” mindset? That’s long gone (and frankly, I’ve never liked that phrase—there’s a world of difference between selling and maximizing value, but I digress).

A balanced market is healthy. It just takes some getting used to.
