Puyallup Real Estate Market Update – Spring 2026

🌷 What’s happening right now in Puyallup?

The Puyallup housing market is continuing to show a healthy mix of strength and balance this spring. With about 50% of homes currently under contract and inventory sitting at 3.2 months of supply, we’re still in a seller-leaning market—but one that’s giving buyers a bit more breathing room than we’ve seen in recent years. Homes are averaging around $590K in active list price, selling for nearly 99.7% of asking price, and going under contract in as little as 29 days for well-positioned listings. In short, demand is steady, well-priced homes are moving quickly, and both buyers and sellers are finding opportunity—just in different ways depending on price point and preparation.
