The New Reality for Spokane Sellers
Market Shift Alert
While Spokane remains a seller's market, the dynamics are changing. Inventory is up 13.6%, 41% of homes sell below asking, and buyers have more choices than they've had in years. Success requires adaptation.
August 2025 marks a pivotal moment for Spokane sellers. The days of putting any home on the market and receiving multiple over-asking offers are largely behind us. With 1,786 homes for sale in the city (up from 1,573 in June), buyers finally have options—and they're using them.
The good news? Spokane is still fundamentally a seller's market with median prices reaching $411,157 (up 3.6% year-over-year). Homes still sell in 15-24 days on average, and 31% still sell above asking price. But success now requires strategic pricing, professional presentation, and market awareness.
