King County Housing Inventory Up 25% — What It Means for PNW Builders
Active listings across King County jumped about 25% year-over-year in early 2026, giving buyers in cities like Redmond, Sammamish, Mercer Island, and Shoreline more options than they have had in several years. The median home sale price was approximately $840,000 as of early 2026 — slightly below early 2025 levels, reflecting a measured correction from an overheated market rather than a downturn. For residential builders and remodelers, rising inventory signals a more competitive sales environment but also growing demand for renovation work on existing stock rather than new builds.
