Is the Lacey housing market cooling down? It’s a question I’ve been getting a lot lately, and the answer isn’t as simple as “yes” or “no.” The truth is, homes are still selling in Lacey, but things are starting to slow down just a bit compared to the crazy fast pace we saw in past years. If you’re a buyer or a seller trying to figure out what this all means, you’re in the right place.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in Lacey this fall, here’s a quick look at what’s really going on in the local real estate market this season.
Homes are still selling, but not as fast. In October 2025, homes in Lacey are averaging about 35 days on the market before they sell. That means from the day a home is listed, it takes just over a month to find a buyer on average. This is a little slower than the last few years, but it’s still a healthy market.
The average home price is around $560,000, and most sellers are getting very close to what they’re asking, which is about 99.5% of their list price. So, if you’re a seller and your home is priced right, chances are it will still sell for nearly what you want.
There’s also only about 2.6 months’ worth of homes available for sale. In simple terms, that means there aren’t many houses to choose from, so demand is still strong. This keeps Lacey in what’s called a “seller’s market,” but it’s not as intense as before. Buyers now have more time and options than they did last year.
Buyers have more choices now. If you’re looking to buy a home in Lacey, you’ll be happy to know there are more options out there. You’re not as rushed as before, and sellers are more open to negotiation. That means you might be able to get a better deal or take a little more time to pick the right home.
Homes under $500,000 are still the most popular. These homes sell the fastest and typically sell for approximately 97% of the asking price. So if you’re shopping in this price range, it’s smart to get pre-approved and be ready to act quickly when you see the right home.
Higher-priced homes are moving more slowly. Homes priced over $1 million are staying on the market for an average of about 55 days. These sellers are also negotiating more, giving buyers more flexibility. If you’re in this price range, you may find more room to make a deal.
In the middle range, between $500,000 and $1 million, the market is pretty balanced. Homes here are selling at a steady pace and close to list price, which shows that both buyers and sellers are finding common ground.
What does this mean for you? If you’re thinking about buying, now might be a great time to take advantage of more options and less pressure. If you’re selling, you can still get a strong price, especially if your home is clean, move-in ready, and priced well.
