How long do homes take to sell in Seattle?

In Seattle, homes are typically selling in just over a month. The typical home stayed on the market for 36 days in May 2026. This number, 36 days, is 20% longer than it was a year ago. Homes are taking a bit more time to find a buyer now compared to last year. There are also more homes for sale. The number of active listings is up 21% from last year, with 10,456 homes on the market. This gives buyers more choices, which can sometimes mean homes take a little longer to sell. Even though homes are taking longer to sell, the median listing price is still quite high at $780,000. However, this is actually down 2.4% compared to last year. This means prices are a bit lower than they were. For sellers, this means it's still a good time to sell, but be prepared for your home to be on the market for a little longer than what was typical in previous years. Pricing your home competitively is an even bigger factor now than it was last year.
