This week’s read
Last week we read fewer homes and fewer discounts with nothing moving faster as sellers leaving, not buyers arriving. The leaving stopped — inventory ticked up 1 to 164 — and the clock did not: 56 days, up 7, a fourth straight week adding time from 35 in mid-August. The cut rate eased a third week to 40%, and the relist rate fell to 5%, its lowest since July. The median ask held at $599,900, the 20-week low. Average days on market: 84, the longest we have tracked here.

The four markets
Altos splits each zip into four price-band segments. The bottom and top quartiles behave like different markets entirely — different buyers, different time-on-market, different absorption. Sparklines in the DOM column show the 20-week trajectory of days on market for each quartile.

“The market has been cooling off a bit in recent weeks, as more homes are available and demand is less. We’ll be looking for a persistent downward trend. If we see a persistent trend, especially if the MAI falls from the Seller’s Market zone to the Buyer’s Market zone, expect downward pressure on prices. There is already some evidence prices moving lower.”

Zip codes are averages. Your street isn’t.
This data is a real signal — it’s why we publish it. But real estate stays stubbornly hyper-local: a school boundary, one busy road, a single new listing can move a block in ways the Battle Ground median can’t catch. For a read on a specific neighborhood or property, let’s talk. No obligation, no pitch.
