π‘π WASHINGTON COUNTY REAL ESTATE: A LITTLE COOLER, BUT STILL STABLE! π
THE THIRD-QUARTER 2026 NUMBERS ARE IN, AND WASHINGTON COUNTY IS TELLING AN INTERESTING STORY!
At first glance, you might notice that the average sale price is down from 2025β¦ but donβt let that fool you. The bigger picture shows that Washington County remains a stable market, and there are still some solid signs of overall strength! π
Letβs break it down! βπ
π° Average Sale Price: $222,111
β¬οΈ Down 6.9% from 2025β¦
BUT itβs still up from 2024βs $210,192!
That means the average sale price is still up about 5.7% over 2024, which is an important reminder that one year does not make a trend. π
π Median Sale Price: $199,900
β¬οΈ Down just 0.8% from last year, essentially holding fairly steady.
π Homes Sold: 234
β¬οΈ Up 2.2%! Sales activity actually increased compared to last year.
β° Average Days on Market: 86
β¬οΈ Up 10.3% from last year. Homes are taking a little longer to sell.
ποΈ Active Listings: 106
β¬οΈ Up 45.2%! Buyers have noticeably more homes to choose from.
π Months of Housing Supply: 5.2
β¬οΈ Up 32.1%! Inventory is growing, which points to a more balanced market.
π΅ Seller Concessions: 50.85%
That means just over half of closed sales involved seller concessions. Negotiation is clearly still part of the market! π€
π₯ NOW FOR THE LONGER VIEWβ¦
Back in 2017, the average sale price in Washington County was $111,070.
In 2026?
$222,111
Thatβs basically a 100% increase over the past decade. Yep β average sale prices have about doubled since 2017. π₯
And the median sale price?
It moved from $93,000 in 2017 to $199,900 in 2026.
Thatβs a huge long-term change, even with the slight softening from last year.
π― SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Washington Countyβs market may be showing a little cooling compared to 2025, but it is still considered stable, not declining in any major way.
Hereβs why:
β
The average sale price is still higher than it was in 2024
β
The median price is only slightly lower than last year
β
The number of homes sold actually increased
β
Inventory has grown, giving buyers more choices
β
The longer-term trend still shows strong value growth
In other wordsβ¦
This looks more like a market normalizing, not a market falling apart.
π‘ THE BOTTOM LINE?
Washington County is still a stable real estate market, even though 2026βs average sale price is lower than 2025βs. When you zoom out, prices remain well above prior years, sales activity is still moving, and the market continues to function with a little more balance.
And in real estate, balance isnβt a bad thing. π
