Monthly home sales slowed a bit in the Walla Walla Valley as many focused on back to school activities. However, both pending sales and the number of homes listed for sale increased. The number of pending sales – homes under contract but not yet closed – grew 6% over the previous month. While annual home closings are 10% behind last years pace, the number of pending sales are 28% higher than August of last year. This indicates that the market should be quite busy for the remainder of 2019.
So far, this year’s median price has increased 6% over the previous year. However, interest rates remain historically low and most brokers expect favorable conditions for both buyer and sellers to continue through the fall.
