The Thurston County housing market in May 2026
Prices in Thurston County slipped to a median of $535,000 in May 2026, 1.7% lower than a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $569,000, and sold for a median of $297 per square foot. The average sale closed at 100.3% of asking price and 34% of homes sold above list, so buyers are still bidding against each other.
There were 911 homes for sale at the end of May, up 28% from a year earlier, or 2.8 months of supply, still on the sellers' side. The typical home that sold had been listed for 13 days, about the same as a year earlier. 47% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 3% more homes and sales were down 3%.
Price cuts are common: 36% of listings were reduced in May 2026 (4.2 points more than a year earlier). An FSBO owner who has not cut yet may be priced above the market.
For FSBO outreach, this means many Thurston County owners can still sell on their own, so lead with pricing data and a net-proceeds comparison rather than an offer to list. The trend to watch: more homes competing for buyers than a year ago.

Thurston County since 2019
The median sale price averaged about $545,000 from March to May 2026, up 62% from about $336,000 in the same months of 2019.
Prices are back to about their peak of $546,000, first reached in the three months to June 2025.
There are more homes for sale than before the pandemic: about 770 in an average month in spring 2026, against 568 in spring 2019, 35% more.
In spring 2026 the median time on market averaged about 23 days, 10 days longer than in spring 2019 (14 days).
Owners are listing about 16% fewer homes a month than they did in spring 2019.
For FSBO outreach, that means more Thurston County owners are competing for buyers than before the pandemic, and more of them are likely to need help.
When Thurston County homeowners list
Listing activity is strongly seasonal in Thurston County. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in April and May, with May running about 55% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 60% below it. Homes that sold in June had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 11 days), and those that sold in January the most (about 49 days).
Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by March, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around January, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.

Working Thurston County FSBO leads
- Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into April and May, when the most Thurston County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
- Follow the price cuts. When 36% of listings are being reduced, an FSBO owner who cuts is showing motivation; follow up soon after any change in the asking price.
- Use the 13-day mark. Half of the Thurston County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 13 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Sell the upside. With 34% of homes selling above list, agents do better pitching wider exposure and competing offers than a discount.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Thurston County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
