Local Residential Real Estate Market Activity Mirrors Last Year’s Seasonal Pace

Residential real estate activity across the Interior remained relatively steady in July, with sales closely mirroring those recorded during the same month last year, reports the Association of Interior REALTORS® (the Association).

Sales

The Association region recorded 1,496 residential sales in July, down from 1,547 in June and slightly down 2.2% compared to the same time last year.

Active Listings

New residential listings saw a 12.1% decrease compared to July 2025 with 2,569 new listings recorded last month, and down from the previous month’s 2,963 new listings. The total number of active listings saw a 7.8% decrease in inventory compared to the same time last year with 9,630 recorded across the Association region and down compared to June’s 9,803 total inventory.

“We’re continuing to see a normal seasonal pattern across the Interior market with sales activity tracking closely to the pace established during the same month last year,”
says Association of Interior REALTORS® President Ryan Mayne, adding that “although inventory growth has been slightly muted, the fact that listings aren’t building up points to a market that is steady and stable, continuing at a sustainable pace rather than experiencing significant shifts in either direction.”
