North Plains has fewer homes for sale, even with more new listings

Real estate, North Plains

Here is the number that shapes everything for sellers in North Plains right now. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted just 28 homes for sale in ZIP 97133 during the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 31.7% from the same months a year ago. Less competition on the shelf means a seller's price still holds.

Nationally, Realtor.com reported that price reductions hit 4-year highs across regions in September 2026. North Plains is not that story. Supply here sits at 2.8 months, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is down a full month from a year ago. Tight supply keeps sellers in a stronger spot than the national headlines suggest.

New listings are up, but buyers are absorbing them fast

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 35 new listings in North Plains during those same three months. That is up 40% from a year ago. Yet pending sales rose 61.9% to 34 homes. Buyers are snapping up new listings faster than they arrive. That is why inventory stays low even as more sellers step in.

Prices dipped, but sellers are still getting close to full ask

The median sale price in ZIP 97133 was $505,400 for the three months ending August 31, 2026, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is down 6.8% from the same period a year ago. A dip, yes. But homes still sold at 99% of list price on average. That is only 0.4 points lower than a year ago. Sellers are not giving much away.

Homes took a median of 56 days to sell. That is 3 days longer than a year ago. Not every home sold fast, and that is honest. But 16.1% of homes sold above list price, up 0.9 points from a year ago. The Federal Housing Finance Agency put U.S. house prices up 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. North Plains saw a price dip in the same window, so local conditions here are running their own course.

What this means if you are buying

Mortgage rates topped 7% in September 2026, according to Realtor.com. That adds real cost to every offer. CNBC reported that a monthly payment on a median-priced home ate up roughly 33% of a median family's income in 2025, up from 26% in 2022. With only 2.8 months of supply in North Plains, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator, you do not have the luxury of waiting. About 26.5% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Watch new listings the day they post.
