Island County Stats Nov 2025: What’s Happening as We Head Into Winter

November brought a gentle shift in Island County’s real estate landscape, and it’s one that feels a bit more relaxed than what we’ve seen in recent years. Even with fewer new listings coming to market, buyers stayed active — pending sales rose more than 15% compared to last November.  That tells us people are still confident about buying on the island, especially when homes are strategically priced.

Prices themselves have been steady. The median sales price dipped just slightly this month, but year-to-date values are still up a little over 3%. Homes are taking longer to sell, now averaging 55 days, which is a sign of a more balanced, less rushed market. Inventory has grown to just under 3 months, creating more breathing room for buyers while still giving sellers solid opportunities when their home is well-prepared and well-presented.

As we move through the winter months, I expect to see this balanced pace continue. If you’re planning a move in 2026 — buying, selling, or both — I’m here to talk through what these trends might mean for your timing and strategy.  Island County and it’s unique communities have their own rhythm, and understanding it helps you make decisions with confidence.
