Figures below cover single family homes only. Issaquah condos are tracked separately and are not included in these numbers.
Summary Answer
Issaquah has 130 active single family listings and 43 pending sales as of August 3, 2026. Median list price for active homes is $1,412,500. Median price for homes that went pending is $1,498,500, about $86,000 above the active median. Active listings average 64 days on market; homes that recently went pending averaged 36 days before an accepted offer. Recently sold homes closed at 97.6% of list price on average, with roughly four months of supply on the market, which favors sellers at most price points.
What’s Happening in Issaquah Right Now
The relationship between active and pending prices is the number worth watching this month, and it runs opposite to what some neighboring markets are showing. In markets where pending prices sit below active prices, that gap signals overpriced inventory sitting unsold. In Issaquah, pending homes are priced $86,000 above the active median, which points to strong absorption in the $1.4M to $1.7M range. A larger share of active inventory sits below that band, and it is taking longer to find buyers.
With 130 homes active against roughly 33 recent closings, supply sits at just under four months. Under six months of supply is generally considered a seller’s market, so current conditions favor sellers, particularly for well-priced homes in the middle price tiers.

What Sellers Should Know
Active listings are averaging 64 days on market, while homes that went pending recently averaged 36 days from list to accepted offer. Recently closed sales sold in an average of 60 days total and closed at 97.6% of list price on average. That gap between 64-day actives and 36-day pendings suggests pricing accuracy matters more than urgency right now.
Steps to price a home competitively in this market:
- Pull the last 60 to 90 days of closed comps within your neighborhood, not citywide
- Compare your target price against the pending median for your neighborhood, not just the active median
- Price within 2 to 3% of the most recent comparable close rather than the highest recent list
- Reassess after 14 days on market if showing activity is below expectations for the price point
What Buyers Should Know
Six homes are currently in pending inspection status, meaning they have cleared initial inspection contingencies and remain on track to close. With homes closing at 97.6% of list price on average, sellers are receiving offers close to asking in most price tiers, and buyers should expect limited room to negotiate significantly below list on well-priced, well-positioned homes.
