This week’s read
The clock fell 18 days to 77, the largest move in our coverage this week, and arrivals did it, not sales. Inventory rose 11 homes to 119, the most in the 20 weeks we have tracked this zip and its largest one-week rise — 15 new listings against 6 absorbed. New listings enter at zero days and pull the median down; the average came off only 6, to 106. The cut rate fell 5 points to 48%, its lowest since late July. Price per square foot: $342, the highest since May.

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 consistently cool for several weeks. Demand level are low relative to the available inventory. It’s a Buyer’s market and prices have begun moving lower. Look for a persistent shift in Market Action before prices plateau or begin to rise again.”

But real estate stays stubbornly hyper-local: a school boundary, one busy road, a single new listing can move a block in ways the Washougal median can’t catch.
