Clark County Housing Market Update: June 2026 RMLS Data & Expert Analysis
If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Southwest Washington housing market, the June 2026 data is officially in. The numbers tell a compelling story of a summer real estate market that is highly active, remarkably resilient, and structurally sound.
Whether you are looking to buy, sell, or simply want to keep tabs on your home's equity, let’s break down the key trends, numbers, and what they actually mean for you.
📈 The Big Picture: Quick Highlights at a Glance

🔍 Key Takeaways from the June 2026 Data
1. Home Sales are Surging Into Summer
The standout statistic this month is the massive jump in closed sales. With 670 completed closings, June saw a 16.1% increase over May and a 15.7% increase compared to June of last year. This indicates that the buyers who were active in the spring successfully crossed the finish line to secure their homes just in time for summer.
2. Prices Remain Remarkably Stable
Despite fluctuations in interest rates, home values in Clark County are holding firm. The median sale price of $570,000 has barely budged, dipping a mere 0.2% from last month and remaining almost flat (-0.9%) compared to last year. If you are a seller, your equity is safe. If you are a buyer, you aren't chasing a runaway train of skyrocketing prices right now.
3. Inventory is Healthier, But Still Lean
We currently have 3.2 months of inventory in Clark County. However, when we look strictly at "Purchase- and Occupancy-Ready" active listings (homes that are built, vacant, or ready for immediate move-in), that number sits at 1,707 active listings (80.8% of the total inventory), representing about 2.5 months of move-in-ready supply.
A market with less than 3 months of inventory is still considered a seller's market, giving sellers a slight edge, though buyers have more options to choose from than they did in previous years.
4. Where the Market is Most Active
If you're wondering where the "sweet spot" of the Clark County market is, the residential sales by price range tell us exactly where the action is:
-
$400K – $500K: 24.6% of all sales (165 homes closed)
-
$500K – $600K: 22.1% of all sales (148 homes closed)
-
$600K – $700K: 14.0% of all sales (94 homes closed) Over 60% of all homes sold in June fell between $400,000 and $700,000, showcasing where the bulk of local demand resides.
🏠 The Affordability Factor
According to the National Association of REALTORS® formula, buying a home in Clark County remains within reach for a family earning the median area income. With the HUD median income set at $128,300 for 2026, a family earning this amount can afford 94% of a monthly mortgage payment on a median-priced home ($570,000). (This formula assumes a 20% down payment and a 30-year fixed rate of 6.4%).
💡 What This Means For You
If You Are Buying:
More listings are entering the market (946 new listings in June!), and total market time has stretched to 61 days compared to the frantic pace of past years. This means you have more time to tour homes, negotiate, and make informed decisions without the extreme pressure of immediate bidding wars.
If You Are Selling:
Buyers are active, and closed sales are up significantly. Because ready-to-occupy inventory sits at a tight 2.5 months, well-priced, turn-key homes are still receiving excellent attention. The key to a successful summer sale is strategic pricing and ensuring your home is move-in ready.
