Yakima, WA Housing Market & Real Estate Update (February 27, 2026)
Yakima, WA – February 27, 2026 – Redfin shows a January median sale price near $375K; Zillow lists about 298 homes for sale and steady rentals.
Yakima’s market indicators stayed mixed heading into the spring selling season. One major tracker showed slightly lower year-over-year prices for recent closed sales, while another showed modest home-value growth and a noticeable number of active listings. Buyers are seeing a bit more time to decide than in some fast-moving Washington metros, but well-priced homes can still move quickly.
Top takeaways
- Recent closed-sale pricing: Redfin’s January 2026 median sale price was about $375K (down 3.8% year over year) with roughly 60 median days on market.
- Active supply: Zillow reported about 298 homes for sale in Yakima as of January 31, with 58 new listings that month.
- Rentals remain a key pressure point: Realtor.com’s Yakima dashboard listed a median rent around $1,675 and more than 100 rental listings.
Market snapshot (past 30 days of published updates)
Sales & pricing: Redfin’s city-level update for January 2026 showed 33 homes sold, down from 51 a year earlier, alongside the $375K median sale price. Zillow’s Yakima home-value index put the typical home value near $351K (data through January 31) and noted a median days-to-pending of about 41 days.
Inventory & pace: Realtor.com’s explore view showed 495 homes for sale and a median of 74 days on market (historical data through December 2025). Because these platforms use different data sources and time windows, treat the exact figures as directional rather than perfectly comparable.
What’s for sale nearby (no addresses)
- Single-family homes across a wide range of price points, from smaller starter homes to newer construction in higher-priced pockets.
- Land and small-acreage properties are also showing up in search results, which can be relevant for buyers looking for space, shops, or hobby-farm setups.
Rentals & financing watch
Rental availability appears active but competitive. If you’re shopping, compare total monthly costs carefully (mortgage, insurance, taxes, and utilities) and ask about concessions on both rentals and for-sale homes. Sellers may want to focus on inspection-ready condition and realistic pricing, especially if showings slow or time-to-pending stretches.
