Median days on market for King County residential listings, monthly, 2016 to July 2026: a hard seasonal saw-tooth every year, spring lows against winter highs, running from 9 days at its fastest (April 2017) to 74 at its slowest (January 2026), with the latest month at 44 days.

The median King County listing sat 44 days on the market in July 2026, up 2 days from a year earlier. The series ranges from 9 days at its fastest (April 2017) to 74 at its slowest (January 2026), and it saw-tooths hard every winter — so the year-over-year change is the comparison that means anything. Days on market is the cleanest read on whether buyers or sellers are setting the pace; inventory says how much there is to choose from.
