Thurston County Housing Surprises Amid Rising Rates

Despite rising inflation and mortgage rates, Thurston County’s housing market is booming—with single-family home sales up over seven percent in May and year-to-date sales up more than ten percent. The surge is driven by out-of-county buyers lured by lower prices compared to neighboring counties like King County, where median home values are nearly double. Still, about a quarter to a third of homes see multiple offers, and inventory is at its highest since 2016, giving buyers more choice. Experts urge buyers to act quickly while sellers prep their homes for maximum appeal. But with mortgage rates climbing to 6.6%, the momentum could slow—making this a market to watch closely.
