Seattle Real Estate Market Update – February 2026 | Prices Up, Buyers Surging | RE radar

What’s really happening in the Seattle real estate market right now? In this February 2026 market recap, I break down the latest numbers including home prices, buyer demand, new listings, and interest rate trends to explain what’s actually happening in the market and what it means for buyers and sellers heading into the spring season. 📊 Here’s what we cover in this episode of RE radar: - Seattle median home price changes month-to-month and year-over-year - Why prices jumped nearly $100K for residential homes - The big increase in buyer activity and pending sales - Lender data showing a surge in pre-approvals and credit pulls - How many new listings hit the market in February - Why interest rates around 5–6% may be the long-term “normal” - My prediction for the Spring 2026 housing market The key takeaway: Both buyers and sellers are returning to the market. After several years of hesitation driven by interest rates, activity is picking up again — and that could mean a very busy spring real estate season in Seattle. If you're thinking about buying, selling, or just trying to understand the market, this breakdown will give you a clearer picture of where things stand. #podcast #realestate
