East Wenatchee Market Update: August 2026

East Wenatchee's residential market (98802) picked up steam in August. The median sale price reached $580,000, up 14.9% from a year ago and a sharp rebound from July's $499,700. Homes are also moving faster — 28 days on market on average, down nearly 10% year-over-year.

The bigger story this month is inventory: new listings jumped 22.5% year-over-year to 49, and active inventory climbed to 117 homes, up 17% from last August. That's giving buyers more room to shop even as prices trend upward. Months of supply ticked up to 3.6, still favoring a fairly balanced market rather than a strong seller's or buyer's market.

• Median sale price: $580,000 (+14.9% YoY)

• New listings: 49 (+22.5% YoY)

• Closed sales: 27 (−6.9% YoY)

• Days on market: 28 (−9.7% YoY)

• Active inventory: 117 homes (+17.0% YoY)

• Months of supply: 3.6 (+9.1% YoY)

Closed sales dipped slightly (27, down 6.9% YoY), which is typical as more inventory takes a beat to work through the pipeline.

The takeaway: more homes to choose from, faster sales, and prices still climbing — a market worth watching closely heading into fall. Thinking about buying or selling in East Wenatchee? Let's talk about what these numbers mean for your specific situation.
